Another one in the casket

Another one in the casket basically means going to kill you or to GET killed. My mum told me that when I was a little girl. So, the definition of it is I'm going to kill you or going to kill you.

Random guy: Dude, my grandma's about to die in a year.
Another random guy: Oof, another one in the casket.

It's just another one-off case

A pervasive Brazilian rhetorical dismissal used to defang any example that threatens a cherished narrative, especially by those in power. When presented with a damning instance of corruption, police brutality, or systemic failure, this phrase magically transforms it from evidence of a pattern into a meaningless statistical anomaly. It's the ultimate tool for normalization, draining collective outrage by insisting each horrific event is a unique, freak accident with no connection to any other—ensuring the structure that produced it never has to be examined.

Example: A video surfaces showing a military police officer executing an unarmed Black teenager in a favela. The government spokesperson appears on TV: "This is a tragedy, but it's just another one-off case. We cannot generalize the honorable work of our police force based on one bad actor." The phrase turns a symptom of endemic violence into a conversational dead end.

Hasty Generalization is the new 'It's just another one-off case'

A meta-critique pointing out that the logical fallacy label "Hasty Generalization" is now being deployed with the same cynical, dismissive purpose as the classic Brazilian "isolated case" slogan. It's no longer a sincere call for statistical rigor, but a reflexively invoked shutdown phrase used to discard any emerging pattern that makes authority uncomfortable. The accuser weaponizes a term from Critical Thinking 101 to avoid thinking critically about accumulating evidence.

Hasty Generalization is the new 'It's just another one-off case' Example: A journalist threads together ten instances of a senator trading stocks after confidential briefings. The senator's defender replies, "You're connecting a few random trades over years. Hasty Generalization is the new 'It's just another one-off case.'" Here, the fallacy name is used not to debate the data, but to mimic intellectual superiority while performing the same old dismissal.
