Get the Enlightened Onesmug. What political extremists call someone who proposed a reasonable and valid idea or opinions that the extremist cannot argue or refute because the person was right. Instead of opening dialogue about the topic or presenting evidence that disputes the persons the extremists shuts down the conversation by saying that their opinion isn’t valid because it’s “enlightened centrist bullshit.”

Get the Enlightened Centristmug. That moment of mental clarity that can only be achieved by 'blowing your load' or 'shooting your bolt'. A lot of honest internal dialogue can be had with yourself in these moments....shame it doesn't last very long.

Get the Post Ejaculatory Enlightenmentmug. A self-loathing American who disparages American society and people with sweeping negative stereotypes and subjective rantings, with unsaid implication that they have somehow risen above their countrymen and behave in a more cultured manner. EAS is especially common among young Americans who have traveled or lived briefly in an expat bubble overseas.
