Oh, the humanity

1.) A cynical phrase used to trivialize a pitiful speech that can come off as too sentimental. Also used to condemn minor problems that are exaggerated by the speaker. Originated from Herbert Morrison's emotional radio broadcast of the Hindenburg crash.

"Oh, the humanity and all the passengers screaming around here. I told you, I can't even talk to people whose friends are on there {...} I-I can't talk, ladies and gentlemen." - Herbert Morrison, 1937 Hindenburg crash report

1.) A. "Sorry I couldn't come to school this past week...my dog died...*cries*"
"Your dog died? Who was 23 years old? Oh, the humanity!"

B. "My mom took away my phone for a week because I was texting in class. I am, like, so mad at her I swear I'm going to run away!"
"Oh, the humanity! Running away from home is the only justification for being punished because you disobeyed your school's code of conduct!"

Human burrito

When sleeping with a partner in a bed and they steal all the covers at night wrapping all the bedding around them as if they were meat inside the burrito and the blanket was the burrito shell.

I was so cold last night because my woman did the human burrito.

Dude, once the human genome project is finished, I can make a modified baby by altering its genetic code.

human bidet

human bidet is that special class of creature that feels the need to prostrate themself behind bosses, managers, social higher ups such that they give an extra ass cleaning, far beyond the normal ass kissing. Human bidets are close relatives but much luckier than human urinals, who constantly get pissed on by everyone.

That idiot got promoted ahead of me. He wouldn't have got this far if he wasn't such a human bidet!

Human Centipeding

The act of three people engaged in the act of eating the butthole of the person in front of them. The person in front is known as position 1, with the numbers increasing down the line. More than three people is possible, but is strong discouraged.

It was good, until the other three people started human centipeding all over the place.

non-human persons

Thomas I. White of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics and Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles :

"Like humans, dolphins appear to be self-conscious, unique individuals with distinctive personalities, memories and a sense of self, who are vulnerable to a wide range of physical and emotional pain and harm, and who have the power to reflect upon and choose their actions."

To truly be at the "top" of the animal kingdom; then surely it is incumbent upon us to recognize non-human persons.
