They want to fit in like a cog in a faceless machine. They block out thinking because it won't get them ahead, and tend to major in business.
Someday I'll have power, someday I'll have boats, a tract in some suburb with Thanksgivings to host. I'm a terminal preppie.

Get the terminal preppie mug.The act of suddenly caring about someone or having a sudden desperate need to be a positive part of someone’s last bit of life when they suddenly become stricken with a terminal illness, knowing full well that before becoming sick that there really was no meaningful friendship in the years leading up to the terminal diagnosis.
This can be applied to anyone you may have been close with in the past, like a family member or former friend that you’ve rarely seen or communicated with in the last many years due a falling out or because they were a well known asshole that you have supported financially.
The existence of this type of friendship is purely self-motivating for the person seeking a closer relationship with the terminally ill. Money and other assets typically surround the motivation. Guilt can also be another reason to seek this friendship, but still self-motivating nontheless.
Unfortunately, this term most often can be applied to 40yr old bitch daughters with shitty credit that have been punching meal tickets off of their parents, squatting rent free in their rental properties, driving their cars, seeking a never ending bailout, and spent the last 39 yrs of their meaningless lives being a terror to everyone in their immediate family construct; only to have a sudden change of heart now that the person who has been sustaining them financially is at their weakest point.

1.) Hey sis, if you aren’t here for just a terminal friendship, then why did you put our involet, bed ridden mother, into a wheel chair, take her downtown and transfer her car title into your name without telling anyone?
2.) We havent seen Aunty around for the last 20-30 yrs, and mom always talked about how she never had a really tight relationship with her, but now they’re enjoying a terminal relationship so Aunty doesn’t have to live with guilt when mom is gone.

Get the Terminal Lance mug.Terminal Stupidity - The combination of three factors: Lack of knowledge, lack of wisdom, and lack of concern, that endangers the lives of individuals afflicted with the condition, or those around them.
All three factors must continue for a substantial period of time for an individual to be considered "terminally stupid." The condition is often characterized by the attitude contained in this phrase: "I don't know, it don't matter, and I don't have to care."
Terminal stupidity is NOT a natural condition. It is a condition chosen by an individual, group, or corporation - but it is not a permanent flaw.
If the afflicted person or group can be educated with facts; OR,
If the afflicted person or group can be informed by wisdom and experience; OR,
If the afflicted person or group can be made to understand how a specific situation or decision does, in fact, concern them;
THEN... They are not terminally stupid.
Simply being ignorant, inexperienced/unwise, or arrogant/hubristic (uneducated/uninformed, unwise, or uncaring) does not make someone terminally stupid.
All three conditions MUST be met.
