Not everyone can eat sandwiches

Pointless nitpicking of a solution - especially with a cover of SJW-style pretentiousness masked as inclusivity. Like if someone had responded to "maybe I'll provide sandwiches for the office lunch," with "not everyone can eat sandwiches - what if they can't lift the bread with their hands because they're disabled, or what if their religion forbids sandwiches, or what if sandwiches are a trigger?"
Sue: "So I suggested maybe the girls from bookclub would like a movie night to see the film of the book we just read, and Karen kept going on about how we needed to check to make sure there weren't any triggers in the movie, and see if we needed to post a flashing-lights warning."

Bob: "Does anyone in the bookclub actually need that?"

Sue: "No. She just likes being a Not Everyone Can Eat Sandwiches pain in the ass."

Bob: "I hear you. I got a guy at the office who says it would be unfair to offer team lunches as a reward for people because it excludes those who practice intermittent fasting. We don't even have anyone that does that - but hey, he says one day we might, and then that person might feel excluded."

Dead Dove: Do Not Eat

A phrase meaning "read at your own risk," originating from the TV show Arrested Development. A man takes a paper bag out of the fridge that has a note saying "dead dove, do not eat," which he opens to discover a dead dove and exclaims "I don't know what I expected."
The tag is popular in fanfiction because it allows the author to warn the reader that they're probably not going to like what's inside, and now the guilt is out of their hands.

Not for me, Clive

Popularised by football co-commentator Andy Townsend, this is essentially an alternative way of saying “I don’t think so”.

The two main benefits are:
- it seemingly absolves you of any responsibility to say how you arrived at your decision
- it implies that whatever you’re judging is a load of nonsense that doesn't deserve further comment

Particularly useful when talking about a new-fangled, modern idea you can’t really get your head around.
“A cafe that only serves cereal? Not for me, Clive.”

A quote from Noah Centineo at the People’s Choice Awards 2019. No one quite understands what he meant, and it has become a joke.
