Picket Fence Asshole

A picket fence asshole is someone who acts charming, perfect, and overall like an ideal person in public, but is a total asshole in private.

For example, someone might act like the perfect guy who treats his wife and kids like they're the most precious being on Earth only when there are other people around. But when they get home, or when no one is watching, they verbally attack their wife, or try to intimidate their kid.

This term typically applies to guys but is sometimes used to describe a woman too.

1: Hunter's such a dick, I'm tired of him breaking shit everytime we get in an argument.

2: What? Damn, he seems like an angel. I can't believe he'd do that...

3: yeah, he's such a picket fence asshole.

picking violets

Picking violets is part of the flower code for lesbians. The phrase comes from the famous poet Sappho of Lesbos (for whom the word lesbian was named) and it was thought that Sappho would give violets to the girl who she was wooing.

“all the violet tiaras,
braided rosebuds, dill and
crocus twined around your young neck” -Sappho

Picking violets:
Me: picked any violets lately?
Girl: No but maybe we can pick some together?

Me: (thinking) yay she’s gay!

picking up groceries

Grabbing a handful of fruit snacks and gold fish after dicking down a single mother.

The worst part about picking up groceries is having to listen to her kid whine about me eating the last of the scooby doo gummies
