Testing The Authority

A saying to describe a member trying to get a rise out of a staff member. This is a common saying for either Discord Admins or admins on any other platform.
Some dude in a discord server I am in posted a meme in general chat and was banned because he was testing the authority of the admins.

Potato Transit Authority

A roblox transit group that solidify their stans of trains, and distorted emojis with crying laughing and angry faces mashed together.

These group members tend to also laugh about the "bag it up meme", a meme that is about a convenience store cashier getting rude encounters with several people, and in return humiliate them by ruining their order.
Yo, lets play Potato Transit Authority Callaghan

No, I play on mobile, how about fifth avenue?

Fuck you.

Jackie didn't have the Authority

Jackie Weaver

Jackie Weaver – if you recall the dialogue from the jaw-droppingly chaotic parish council meeting – had “no authority” to remove councillors from the meeting. “No authority at all.”

death of the author

A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.
Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

Scratch-off authority

Authority figures, with veneer of legitimacy so thin, that it can be readily removed, to reveal the criminal constitution that is beneath.
The mother was a hypocrit, and a scratch-off authority, with a history of criminal faults, that she hid behind the facade of respectable, government, employee.
