tragedy of the commons

The fact that unregulated resources that are held in common are exploited to the point where they lose their usefulness.

Commonly used to argue that having any resources (parks, etc.) held in common will always lead to their destruction. Especially by libertarians and people who want corporate welfare.
We could make this publically-owned pristine forest into a public park Governor, but that would only lead to the tragedy of the commons. Let's sell it to the logging intrests instead! Since they'll have ownership over the land, they'll have good reason to take care of it.

Trapezoidal Shirt

Shirt that is very trendy, large, has no shape, and is quite unflattering. Basically, you can have one made by giving two large pieces of fabric to a child and asking them to sew them together. It is generally worn by sluts or generic skanks. Usually the side or large portion of the bra can be seen by all who wear this type of shirt.
Wow, that trapezoidal shirt sure hides how large that girl's body is.
