Red Hen

Extreme intolerance to anyone with opposing views. Origin: In June 2018 The Red Hen restaurant Lexington, VA kicked out a customer who worked for a person they did not like based solely on politics, creating a national outcry for compassion and tolerance in public places.
Man, don't be a Red Hen, show some compassion!

Hit the Red Hen

1) Finding yourself in an unwelcome environment.

2) A sudden shift in your karma coupled with the Universe dispensing some ironic justice.
I went out for a quiet meal with friends when I was recognised from the news. Then everything hit the red hen.

Little Red Hen Complex

When a person becomes convinced that they are the only one doing any work, and that no one else deserves any reward in the end.
Jeesh, I'm so sick of Lisa and her Little Red Hen Complex. If she'd ever pull her head out of her ass, she might notice how much we carry her ass!

Little Red Hen disorder

Lazy moocher's syndrome --- indolent people's being unwilling to help out in the earning/creation of something desirable, yet being only too eager to "assist" in partaking of the sweet rewards upon completion of the endeavor.
My neighborhood buddies never seem to want to help me collect returnable cans/bottles, yet after I cash in, they are always super-agreeable to stroll downtown with me to go to the fast-food joint! Sounds like Little Red Hen disorder to me... :P
