runner's privilege

The innate, human...? right to shamelessly ogle, gawk, lech over or perv on the attractive stranger you are crossing paths with whilst out running.

The hot stranger you are 'giving the once over' (AKA 'eyeing up') must also be a runner. Note that runner's privilege is a great deal less sinister than any regular act of unwanted sexual glancing, given that (1) the 'ogle window' is greatly shortened compared to everyday life, since both parties are (ideally) moving quickly, and (2) the person you just gave the eye has the same right and is in fact *encouraged* to ogle, in turn, anyone *they* like the look of mid-run.

Put another way, runner's privilege is a temporary exemption from ordinary social etiquette, granted to outdoor runners as a built-in reward (and source of motivation) for being dedicated enough to leave their sofa and get moving.
Graham: "Every time I overtook a hot girl during the race, I imagined I was allowed to have sex with her."

Sid: "Ah, yeah - make the most of that runner's privilege..."

spades privilige

When you are dealt a monster hand in the game of Spades. But then pretend that you actually only made your bid through skill and a bit of luck. Typically this occurs when going 10/200 (Bidding that you will win 10 books out of 13), and having several of the highest cards in the game.
Justin was dealt both jokers, Ace and deuce of spades, King queen and Jack of spades. But still put on a big show of how "close" that hand was and how he had to play it just right in order to get their 10 books, thus demonstrating his intense spades privilige.

Generational Privilege

Karen doesn't understand why "all lives matter" misses the point, because of her generational privilege.

Grown-Up Privilege

A belief that adults can do and say whatever they want without social backlash or being reprimanded by others for their actions.
When you're a kid, most adults will use their Grown-Up Privilege by making you apologize for swearing, making sex jokes, and for choosing to not play with toys.
