It’s all white smoke

This is the concept where you know there is big news, but you don’t have any of the details yet.

This derives from the Catholic Church conclave where the world knows they have chosen a new Pope but there is a gap from the time they burn the white signal smoke until the new Pope’s name is released.

Phrase was coined in May 2025 by Tik Tok user: @YourPunkRockUncle

How da O.K. Corral was after Mr. Earp and his law-enforcement associates engaged in their famous shootout and subdued or eliminated all of da noisily-gun-blasting outlaws.
If da outlaw gang "Cowboys" had simply followed da "no guns within city limits" ordinance and thus not run afoul of da local marshals, things might have remained "all qwyatt on the western front" for everyone involved.

going all republican

That behavior of a person who uses the very slightest instance of pushback on their own delusional importance to mount a nuclear assault on reason based on lies and rumors of lies.
An example might be along the lines, "I asked Karen if she would please quit taking my yogurt from the break room fridge without first asking me and she was "going all Republican" on my ass!"
