Stacy: "Are you still upset about what happened?"

Cat: "They're ruining other people's lives, you know. It's madness. They're 'plastic, not fantastic.'"

Plastic Finger

To point your finger at someone and bare false witness against them. Plastic can be fake, not real, untrue. Humans often point a finger at someone when ratting them out and lying at the same time.
I knew that Mary was lying about Fred when she falsely accused him of the theft, she pointed her “plastic finger” at him and totally lied.

plastic hottie

A plastic hottie is a girl who is hot because she had plastic surgery. Without such surgery, she'd probably look busted.
I'd take my eyes, my nose, my smile, and my hair (all that I was born with) over any plastic hottie any day.

plastic paddy

An Irish American who is glorified by the people of Ireland, even though many look down at Irish Americans showing extreme pride and interest in Ireland's history and culture.
If the Irish don't like Irish Americans having intense pride in their land, why is JFK's ancestral home a national monument?

American Tourist: "Hey I saw a sign for Andrew Jackson's cottage." US Tourist #2: "That name sounds familiar..."

I'm an American but I like hurling. It's pretty dirty. You fellas across the pond should check out lacrosse.

I reversed this term to point out some hypocrisy.

There's an Irish heritage regiment (with plastic paddys) in the US National Guard called the Fighting 69th; its motto: "Gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked." LOL at dirty connotations.
