Why Die For Danzig

An anti-war, pacifist slogan created by French Socialist Marcel Déat, to deter France from going to war against Germany to defend Poland during WW2. Marcel Déat eventually became a Collaborator during the occupation of France by The Third Reich.

The quote is commonly used today to indicate someone collaborating with an autocratic regime that has plans/is already invading other countries.

It is also used to signify someone that shows pacifist tendencies, opinions, or behaviors by asking a country to give concessions (usually territorial) during a defensive war.

Why pay Tuesday for a hamburger today

Why? Simply because this is a euphemism for asking for a freebie, a handout or a loan that you never intend to pay. First made famous by the bloated nitwit 'Wimpy', a waddling loser with an eating disorder in Popeye comics, it is a metaphor for the financial irresponsibility that is epidemic in American society today.

You have undoubtedly seen these 'Check Cashing' businesses that have a habit of springing up in the declining parts of town. Well, what these leeches do is give the gullible and irresponsible dregs of our society ADVANCES on their next paycheck, at exorbitant interest rates, skirting the usury laws. Once they get their claws into you, you are doomed. Idiots do this sort of thing in order to support their lotto or cigarette habit.


"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburer today", simply put is spending money before you have it. -or- simply mooching.
The United States Federal Government churns out millions of dollars of military, welfare and other 'hamburgers' that it does not intend to pay for until next Tuesday. In other words, by your grandchildren.
