When the going gets tough, the tough get going

What this means is that when faced with difficulties and adversity, those who are mentally and physically resilient do not give up, but formulate an effective and disciplined plan of action which they initiate and carry through to a successful conclusion.

"Despite getting stuck with the fallout from Malcolm's fuck-up, Nick got everything sorted inside of a week!"
"Yeah, when the going gets tough, the tough get going."

social togetherness

Social togetherness is the opposite of social distancing. It's the new cultural movement which began in 2023. Since social distancing is the most fucked thing in history, we now need an equal amount of social togetherness to unfuck things.

Michelle: "I don't want to socially distance from you anymore"
Dany: "Social distancing is fucked"
Michelle: "Let's do some social togetherness, I'm coming over"
Dany: "Come over at 10pm for an unfucking session"

Let's dress up and travel together

Is technically what people usually do after literally coming out of the closet.
A slang term or euphemism for "dating" originated from the Taiwanese dub of The Owl House, where Amity says "我們盛裝出遊吧!" which translates to "Let's dress up and travel together!"
But can also be used as a term for openly experiencing LGBT culture after coming out of the closet.

Now that i'm out of the closet, and there's a Pride Parade tomorrow, let's dress up and travel together!
I came out a week ago and have been dressed up and traveling ever since.

Tough nuggets

An obnoxious phrase used by old farts to dismiss someone's misery.

The origins of this phrase are unclear, but it is said that a group of old anarchists from New Jersey took it from James Joyce's "Ulysses"

" roguewords, tough nuggets patter in their pockets." from "Ulysses (Chap. 3 - Proteus)"

Mitch: How are you handling this weather, Lindsey?

Lindsay: Not good, I'm from San Diego.

Mitch: Well, tough nuggets to you, kiddo.
