Social Work Kool-Aid 

Social Work Kool-Aid: (noun) A system of beliefs associated with the social work profession that closely resembles the NASW code of ethics. It includes the concept of unconditional positive regard for clients, respect for diversity, and the belief that all of society is interconnected.

The phrase "drinking the social work kool-aid" is most commonly used metaphorically when describing the phenomenon that occurs during the process of social work education, when students begin to adopt the professional values of social work as their personal values. This may lead to the student becoming more politically and morally liberal. Its use is akin to the common saying, "Gee, there must be something in the water" to imply that there is something inherent to a location that produces certain characteristics in the people that live there. The term implies some degree of blind acceptance and/or indoctrination.

"I used to be a Republican, but then I went to college and started drinking the social work kool-aid, and I totally became a democrat."

"Over my career I've soaked up so much of the social work kool-aid that I've started using Person-In-Environment thinking to assess how my dog is doing."

"That TV show is just so homophobic, and I've had way too much of the social work kool-aid to really enjoy it anymore."

"There's just something about social workers...it's like they're all drinking the same kool-aid."

social anxiety 

It feels like being trapped under ice, screaming to get out. But no one can hear you.

" I was trying to give a speech today but I totally forgot what I was gonna say so I froze for 10 seconds and told the teacher I was sorry because I forgot what I was going to say "

" Someone tried to talk to me today, but my social anxiety made my heart beat really fast and I just nodded my head "

Social Butterfruitfly 

A play on Social Butterfly and Social Fruitfly.

Social Butterfruitflies are witty, charming, and effervescent like the Social Butterfly. Like Social Fruitflies, however, they can be quirky, overly enthusiastic, and sometimes annoying to the people who know them best. These individuals try to keep the latter attributes to a minimum but their perpetual cheerfulness renders any attempt futile.

Harmonious by nature Social Butterfruitflies like meeting new people and making social connections, and enjoy introducing their acquaintances to each other. This quality can prove to be particularly beneficial to the Wallflower.

Person 1: "That girl knows everyone."

Person 2: "She's a Social Butterfly."

Person 3: "...More like a Social Butterfruitfly."

Social Distancing 

Politically correct (aka Newspeak) term for "physical distancing". You're not actually distancing yourself socially. Social distancing is actually distancing yourself from society and being less social. We're not doing that here in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

"Social Distancing" is a term that sounds so cringeworthy and almost politcally euphemistic.

Social Butterfly 

It's a word/title that is usually used to describe someone that is popular. Often times those people are friendly or pretty, but it is not always the case. It is not always used to describe popularity alone, it could also be describing someone who is friendly to strangers. Typically a word used to describe females.

Kerry is definitely a social butterfly. She's got friends everywhere.

social security 

A federally run scam that pays less than 1% interest, even though the average inflation tax rate is about 2% year.

Pouring money into this system is pouring your money down a rathole, even though we are required by federal law to do it, most likely so that the criminals in D.C can pilfer it for their own needs.

Social Security is a terrible investment, it's better to invest your money into low-risk mutual funds instead.
