This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! — This is an example of the literary reversal theme wherein a well known oft quoted line or trope is inverted to show another facet of meaning to the idea. This example occurs in the movie New Jack City that takes the famous trope “THIS IS NOT PERSONAL; IT’S BUSINESS” and inverts it to make the point that ultimately narcotic drugs did destroy the uneasy symbiotic balance between the strange bed fellows: organized crime and organized policing.
In words of Wesley Snipes as Nino Brown in the same movie: MONEY TALKS AND BULLSHIT RUNS THE MARATHONS.
Can you say Iran Contra Drugs for Arms Scandal, boys and girls? I knew that you could!!!
No matter what anyone tries to pretend: IT’S ALWAYS PERSONAL TO SOMEONE.
ALWAYS.

Get the This Ain’t Business Bitch, This Personal! mug.Mummified person is the new politically correct way way to refer to a mummy. At a certain point, political correctness has gone too far.
How to use “mummified person” in a sentence. In contemporary writing style use “mummified person” instead of “mummy”.
A mummified person estimated to be 4,300-year-old was found at the bottom of a 15-meter shaft in a recently uncovered group of fifth and sixth dynasty tombs near the Step Pyramid at Saqqara. It’s the oldest and most complete mummy ever found in Egypt.

Get the mummified person mug.“If…were a person” is a catch all formulaic phrase designed to foreground the actions of a person as so definitive that their picture should be found under the definition of the word or phrase.
If used correctly the verb “to be” used in the sentence should be conjugated in the English Subjunctive tense because it presupposes a condition that does not actually exist preceded by the word: “if”.
Any number of colorful phrases can be used to complete this word formula. The only limit is the imagination of the observer.

If “too soon” were a person it would look like Pete Davidson sending a selfie to Kanye West from Kim Kardashian’s bed after smashing.

Get the If…were a person mug.This is business; not personal. — “THIS IS BUSINESS, NOT PERSONAL”, is perhaps the most seminal teaching; and, the most valuable lesson taken from the movie The Godfather. The rule foreshadowed the coming age where corporations would be considered as people and the lives of individuals would be over shadowed by the need for a corporation to continue unobstructed.
One aspect of this teaching is urging a warrior or a holy man (see Godfather 3) never to lose his or her objectivity when faced with facts.
Another aspect of this teaching — which is somewhat ironic — is that a “business decision” is always “personal” to someone. And, if you ever woke up in a bed beside a severed horses head; or, been machine gunned while pinned in a New Jersey toll booth; then the personal aspect of “business decisions” would be crystal clear.
This rule also come into sharp relief if you have ever been replaced by a machine or a non-union worker who will work for less money than you would.
It’s hard to believe that with a of the people who quote both Scarface and The Godfather, this sentence has not found its way into The Urban Dictionary in the year before 2023 C.E. That said I offer it here — and my offering is strictly business and not personal.
