(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)
overkill, when people go over and/or beyond their call of duty or responsibilities, or beyond acceptable socio -moral boundaries when doing something.
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; I will simply state that IMHO such methods of capital execution (but not the idea of capital punishment itself) absolutely unacceptable in modern, humane, society. 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.
