regulation hottie

A home-schooled jungle freak who is actually a hottie but won't accept it and pretends they are not when everyone else knows they are a hottie. No matter how many times you tell them they are a hottie or how many times they get hit on, they will not believe it.

Dang bro, Hannah is a regulation hottie!

Haha.. yeah, she has no idea how hot she is...

Reputational laundering

When Betsy DeVos, Mick Mulvaney, and Elaine Chao say they are leaving the Trump Administration because they have principles, but we all know it’s less than two weeks before they would be out of their jobs anyway and they just want to save their social standing and careers in the future. Plus, they have no principles or integrity.

These reputational laundering attempts coming out in the final hours of the Trump White House are fooling no one.

flawless reputation

Kavanaugh's Reputation
When no amount of background checks can find any amount of dirt on you. When you've lived a good life and can defend every single decision you made. When every person who interacted with you has only good things to say about you.

- I wish I had reputation as flawless as Kavanaugh's
- Yeah, I know, if FBI went 36 years into your past they would've surely find some missteps.
- I know. Only an honourable man with flawless reputation, like Kavanaugh, can get on a Supreme Court.
