Poke the right bears

Business folks say this to 1) imply they can do favors, affect change, etc. and 2) sound macho.

Especially common among grown-up douchebro yuppie types.

Hydrogen fuel cells aren't a development priority this quarter? Let me see if I can poke the right bears to get this done.

Right Wash

The deliberate innacurate depiction of a historical event or people to further contemporary right extremist beliefs, rhetoric, and agenda.

The 2024 cinematic release of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Assassin. A Right Wash movie where a pacifist humanitarian stood against an authoritarian fascism in history, but is innacuretly realigned as propaganda in support of right wing extremists and their fascist MAGA agenda.

right-handed flamethrower

aright wing Republican patriotic nut, but one still not far right enough for alt-rad right groups such as the KKK

as a Republican leaning Jew, the most towards the radical right I can go politically is to be a right-handed flamethrower; further than that , not only do I personally not want to go there, but I won't be welcomed by the KKK

Get it, get it, yeah, we can worry later
Bend it, break it, on your worst behavior
Don't need nobody but your right hand girl

A: who gonna be there when the tears come running? who gonna be there when there ain't no fun, and who gonna love you through the thick and the thin?

Right Honourable Friend

"Right Honourable Friend" = Procrastinating Parliamentary Prick\wanker:
a persion who slows down parliament by bench-sitting/procrastinating and making non-commital
feedback into legislation despite being paid to do their job - by definition of the very respect that - that being why they are in power in the first place...

This isn't actually the definition - but with the increased use of it in videos... watching the world burn will never be more calculated and accurate than ruining this word forever...

will my "right honourable friend" tell us why mr speaker is shagging my MP's behind Mc'donalds at 4 in the morning...

Right Turn Clyde

I always thought this just meant you were a bit retarded. As in, you can only ever make an inside turn. So for us fellow colonialists, "Left turn Clyde". Never go against the flow.. only with it.. lick those windows.

Also apparently means some shit to do with a monkey but.. really?

Person 1: Oh shit, don't get directions from him!
Person 2: Why not?
Person 1: He is a window licker.. he's a proper "Right Turn Clyde". You'll end up going in a circle!

Rights

Usually an authoritative source tells you what your rights are, which is why you have none.

Just about everything in the Constitution and Bill of Rights is an authoritative source telling everyone that didn't write it what their rights will be for the next hundred years or so. Most people have never really had any true rights, billionaires have rights, they do what they want to do. They're also telling everyone else what they want them to do a lot of the time.
