A phrase referencing the TV show 'The Good Place' and used when life in the United States isn't living up to the standards its people should expect.
SPOILER The final episode of season one of The Good Place can be used as a metaphor for how those in the United States are often brought up being frequently told that they are in the greatest country in the world, but are then disappointed every time they discover something new that the U.S doesn't statistically do well in.
Examples:
- No other wealthy nation lets its people die of treatable illnesses, simply because they can't afford treatment.
- The majority of other countries mandate employers to provide 20-40 paid days off a year.
- Very few countries force students into crippling debt.
- All but three countries have paid maternity leave.

"You know Jill next door, who got married to her boyfriend, Chad, five months after they met, just so he could get on to her medical insurance?
Well, they both got new jobs but now Chad's got cancer and his insurance won't cover enough of the costs, so they've had to get divorced to avoid Jill being bankrupted by his medical debt. America is the Bad Place"

Get the Bad Bitch Energy mug.The Big Bad Wolf is a slang term used mainly by enjoyers of the substance marijuana. It deals with three smoking apparati: the bong, the bowl, and the gravity bong. One must intend to be extremely high to complete a true Big Bad Wolf. To complete the action one must smoke a bowl, followed by a gravity bong rip, followed by a full bong pack, completed by an additional gravity bong rip. Each action must be completed before the next action is begun (i.e. one may breathe/talk/move in between rips).These actions can be done in no more than a period of a twenty minutes. This action is normally done in pairs.

Get the Bad Mother Fucker mug.A bad China day or BCD is a widely discussed phenomenon experienced by every non-China born human being living in the glorious motherland be they white, black or yellow as the rays of sunshine that radiated from Mao's asshole.
I don't actually have the time to list every frustrating experience you might encounter if you live in China. The internet doesn't work, the banks don't work, every product or appliance in your apartment will fall apart within a few weeks of purchase.
Sometimes, this all culminates on a single day and, yes, you lose your shit. It happens to the best of us. Telling someone having a BCD "Well, if you don't like it, go home!" is likely to result in having your larynx torn out, so don't do that.
