lipstick on a pig

(a misogynistic term originally used by some Democrats to insult Sarah Palin during the US presidential campaign of 2008); they didn't like how much make make-up she had on)

a) overkill, when people go over and/or beyond their call of duty or responsibilities, or beyond acceptable socio -moral boundaries when doing something.

b) when people, for whatever reason, go out on a limb, and propose, for their zeitgeist, extremely novel, eccentric, living underwater type ideas for the improvement and/or regeneration of their society
a) I support capital punishment as a principle for certain crimes and under certain conditions, and will not, under any circumstances, go lipstick on a pig and reject the principle of capital punishment itself because I hate lethal injection or lethal gas as a method of execution; or, I might reject the use of capital punishment for a specific case; the moral of the fable is, do not go lip lipstick on a pig and betray your own moral principles.

b) The Philosophes, people such a Rousseau, Diderot, Voltaire and Montesquieu, among others, did indeed go lipstick on a pig between the death of Louis XIV and The American Revolution and accidentally ushered in The French Enlightenment
