Polite Bite

When you really don't feel like eating but are guilted into eating. Eating, in order to "fit in".
"Oh, you better at least have a "polite bite" of your Birthday Cake!". Second example; When your Mom or someone offers you something to eat and you've recently eaten and just couldn't eat another bite. "Oh, honey just have a "polite bite", I made it just for you!". When someone insists you taste something and it doesn't look appealing to you. So in order to not offend them, you take a "polite bite".

Political Mask

When the wearing of a face mask has turned into a divisive political issue in a number of countries that protect their citizens’ individual rights, whose selfish behaviors in donning zero masks in public in the midst of a pandemic crisis endanger the health of the majority.
Alt-right politicians are pushing their political mask agenda, by pretending to address the anti-social demands of a noisy minority to win their votes.

applicative politics

A political view that has a direct effect on one's personal life such as cannabis legalization or gay marriage. It does not make other politics such as foreign affairs any less important. Rather, it speaks for the issues that are most important in one persons life. Does not necessarily represent a liberal viewpoint, as they could be against cannabis legalization.
Politically obsessed person: "If you don't care about the financial involment overseas, then you are a turd-eating liberal!!"
Rational and sane person: "I am neither a liberal or conservative, I just care more about cannabis being legal for me to partake than what happens with the goverment budget. I guess its what you would call applicative politics- politics that actually matter."

Political neutrality

1: A political identity where an individual chooses not to support a particular political party. It is important to be careful not to confuse this with being apolitical.
2: A situation where an individual chooses not to take a stance on a political issue, or they decide to establish their own unique political view on that issue that is not being held by any major political party, for any reason. Some people believe this can be a source of privilege, but that depends on what they did, what the issue was, and why they did it.
Practicing political neutrality can allow an individual to have a wider array of options when attempting to address a variety of different issues; as well as ensure that needs and desires of the people are being handled adequately. (To help you understand the GIF I chose for this, imagine the ball is a certain political issue the government would like to address, the two dogs fighting over the ball are the mainstream political parties clashing over which of their solutions will best address the issue, the dog who backed away represents an individual who has chosen not take a stance on that issue, and the dog who stuck their head in between the two dogs heads represents an individual who has made their own unique view on that issue because they don't agree with the views held by either of the political parties fighting over the ball.)
