Temporary Distraction Measure 

A Temporary Distraction Measure or TDM for short is the basis of modern politics and business. Anytime a politician forms a committee to 'look into' something it is nothing but a ruse intended to temporarily distract the voting public long enough for them to forget all about it.
Anything (Committee, poll, vote, investigation, senate hearing, etc) that can be used to successfully distract people from issues that they were formally concerned about long enough for them to forget completely about it.

Anything that makes you (the voter) think we (politicians) are doing something about it when we're really not.

E.X. Senate Democrats hold hearings to investigate windfall profits generated by the obscene price of oil.

Two weeks later, the American public will have forgotten all about it and will rest content that the government is doing it's job. Hence, it was a successful Temporary Distraction Measure.

E.X. During the Senate hearing over whether to clarify net neutrality, the Senators rambled on for a few weeks until another celebrity got knocked up and everybody that was wanting it codified, forgot all about it.

temporary pull-up

The act of loosely raising one’s pants, capris, or shorts, along with any undergarments, in order to switch stalls in an empty public restroom due to the absence of toilet paper in the original stall. Persons performing the temporary pull-up must do so in such a way as to minimize drippage or the transfer of poo particles onto his or her clothing.

Jill’s search for a clean toilet seat landed her in a stall with no toilet paper, so she had to do the temporary pull-up in order to find a stall with toilet paper.

Trumpolatry 

Also known as “Trump idolatry.” The worship or idolization of Donald J. Trump by millions of blue-collar workers and white evangelicals, not to say, white supremacists and terrorists, who see him as their “political savior”; and the fake respect for him by morally corrupt lawmakers, who daren’t oppose him lest their reelection prospects are dashed.

Trumpolatry may be likened to the American equivalent of the deification of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, when oft-radicalized followers or diehard supporters would faithfully carry the orders of their “anointed” leader.

temporary break 

a break in a relationship where one person (or both) wants to stay away from the other for a period of time to find out who they are, to clear things up, or anything else. They usually end up with broken relationships, and there's a chance of never getting back together, depending. Temporaries are usually a soft way of saying "it's over."

Boy: Look, I think we need to take a temporary break up.
Girl: Screw it, just break it off for real.
