Hillary Duff Would Not Approve

Any time you use the word "gay" to describe something you don't like. It is based on the tv edumercials staring Hillary Duff. The commercials are intended to stop this use of the word "gay" which is in itself a good cause, but the commercials are so ridiculous that they have become a joke on their own.

guy 1: Hey did you hear that Mr. Garcia is collecting our current events TODAY??? That's so gay!

guy 2: Hey man, Hillary Duff Would Not Approve

Passive Appropriate

To say something that in context is appropriate, but can be taken easily out of context to be made inappropriate.

Susie told me that I had a big package, and we know she wasn't talking about the box I was carrying; it was so passive appropriate!

Unicorn Approach

The Unicorn Approach is a business phrase for handling those times when your boss is asking for the impossible and/or making completely unrealistic demands. Often, when they are demanding this, they resent any "negative" feedback. You can smile and say "Sure boss, we'll apply the Unicorn Approach to that and get right on it."

Strictly defined, the Unicorn Approach is pretending that all will be well in fantasy land, where it's rainbows and sunshine all the time. And Unicorns frolic. It allows the poor shmuck being asked to deal with the ridiculous, ludicrous demands of egotistical bosses with a bit of humor. Sure, it doesn't fix the problem but honestly - you can't fix it anyway so at least you can smile a bit!

Boss: You need to triple your sales this month. It doesn't matter that there are multiple blizzards, there are no sales people and your facility is under renovation. NO EXCUSES! Manager: Sure boss, we'll apply the Unicorn Approach and get right on it.

Guantanamo bay approach

The Guantanamo bay approach is to believe that anything, animal, object, human being or otherwise are inneficient, cannot be trusted or are in someway harmful to the individual until he/she is given prove that this object/person/animal is efficient or benneficial.

Since the internet is almost diametrically opposed to the notion of quality control, in recent years it's been a lot easier to just assume everything is shit until it can prove itself otherwise. I like to call it the Guantanamo bay approach.

i approve this message

A requirement implemented in the campaign finance reform legislation promulgated by Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Russ Feingold (D-WI). It requires that candidates explicitly define the source of television and radio advertisments as coming from their election organizations rather than from another source. It is done as a mechanism to control so-called "soft money" contributions to compaigns.

"I'm John Kerry, and I approve this message."
