Partially Fluent

Partially Fluent (adj.) — A descriptive term in psycholinguistics and second-language acquisition referring to an intermediate proficiency state in which an individual demonstrates functional communicative competence but exhibits measurable limitations in lexical retrieval, syntactic accuracy, or automaticity of speech production. Partial fluency is characterized by the ability to convey intended meaning across routine contexts while still relying on compensatory strategies—such as circumlocution, increased processing time, or simplified structures—to offset incomplete linguistic mastery.
Although he can handle day-to-day conversations and understand most basic commands, the new employee is only partially fluent in Spanish, and still requires assistance with technical terminology.

Thurgood Partial

See: U.S. Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Thomas is an Oreo and Uncle Tom who's notorious for selling out Black folks. Refers to his far-right conservative, traditionalist, and backwards philosophy, which has generated resentment in the Black Community. He's married to a crazy and fat White bitch, because's he's secretly gay like Sen. Graham due to his "ward". That's like saying Haruka and Michiru are roommates. He's pro-life, anti-LGBTQPIA2S+, anti-DEI, and anti-Sailor Moon. He forgets that DEI and affirmative action are the reason he got accepted into Yale.
Did you hear that Thurgood Partial tried to ban Sailor Moon and Steven Universe because they promote DEI? Dude forgets why and how he got accepted into Yale. He wasn't a scholar or scholar athlete. DEI and Affirmative Action (Title VIII) is how this charlatan got accepted and he's married to a crazy White bitch to conceal his sexuality.

lower house of parliament

The closer to the ground, hence lower, of the two anatomical features whose resident organs govern a man's decision-making; his crotch.

By metaphorical extension, a man's head is his upper house of parliament, which in some cases vetoes the ill-conceived impulses of the lower house but is can be overruled by a super majority in the lower house declaring a state of "gots-to-have-it".
A: You see that disaster Bob went home with?
B: Yuuup, he definitely let his lower house of parliament decide that one.
