different strokes for different folks

An expression meaning that everyone has their own way of doing things or approaching life. Often said in disagreement with how someone else has done things, but can also be said in a neutral or even positive fashion.

(rolling eyes) "He proposed to Susie through a casual email?!? Well, I guess different strokes for different folks."

folklorist

An individual who studies folklore and/or folklife for a living.

Often identifiable by their peculiar clothing, meager incomes, and the ability to talk about how "everyday stuff" is actually pretty cool and meaningful in larger scheme of things. As a profession, you could say that they are the ultimate collectors and bearers of tradition.

Tom: Hey, Dick! That guy with the longish hair, tweed jacket, and neatly groomed facial hair told me that the Paul Bunyan tall tale was actually a fake!

Dick: You just now figured that out? That dude is a folklorist. He knows these things and is awesome because of it. Now go make me a sandwich.

workplace folk hero

Term used to describe a person who is or was generally fearless in their committed demonstrations of questioning what is often oppressive authority.

She was a workplace folk hero who had some impressive write-ups, righteous confrontations, refusals to obey absurd rules, a foul mouth at the perfect times, occasional meltdowns and a talent for ferreting out avoidant bosses; she also possessed a colorful selection of anti-workplace socks that many found supportive and hilarious.
