check your privilege

A saying/online expression that is mainly used by social justice warriors to remind that the body they are born in comes with specific privileges that do not apply to specific arguments or situations. The phase also suggests that when considering another person's plight, one must acknowledge one's own inherent privileges and put them aside in order to gain a better understanding of his or her situation.
White cis boy: After the divorce, Michelle gets to keep the kids even though she didn't take care of them.

Right Privilege

A degenerative condition that causes Liberals to be incapable of being wrong, even when presented with facts to back up the subject in question. Also can manifest itself when a viewpoint that differs from that of the Liberal that suffers from said condition is brought up. Usually the conversation ends with the Liberal throwing out various emotionally charged epithets, such as saying you are a racist, bigot, etc.
Even though I cited my sources in our conversation, that Liberal suffered from Right Privilege and could not be reasoned with.

New Providence

A small, middle-class, suburbian town in Northern New Jersey. New Providence lives in the shadow of neighboring towns Chatham and Summit. The kids at the high school are usually ignorant douchebags who know nothing about anything outside the shithole they call a town. Although there are exceptions, the guys at the high school think their hot shit but the reality is that they get their asses handed to them in almost every way possible. To make up for these deficiencies, they all like to show off their "hot rods". I hate to be the one who tells them this but that's not gonna get you anywhere buds. The girls at New Providence arent much better. Again there are exceptions, but for the most part they are artifically tanned orange pieces of mass who could care less about anything other than their skin tone. Their academics are on the decline and their sports teams are incredibly average, continually getting their asses kicked by rival, Governor Livingston of Berkely Heights. I don't even go there or live in Berkely Heights. There is nothing to do in town but hang outside CVS and Blockbuster in the Village Shopping Center or get stoned outside Friendly's. There are very few places to eat, and with the exception of Coppola's which does have extraordinary pizza, the majority of the food cannot be digested. To sum it all up, New Providence is an uncultured town that shouldn't even be compared to its neighbors Summit, Chatham and Berkely Heights (again I do not live in any of these places).
