the moral of the fable

what one is supposed to learn, as in a fable, from a given incident or experience.

son: dad why was i taken to police station for public drunkenness, even if I didn't a bottle of alcohol on me?

father, lol, the moral of the fable is, that, when you drink, and then walk around in public, even if you don't actually have the bottle on you, you still have the smell of the firewater on your breath, especially if it's something hard, like whiskey. an experienced police officer, when they come close enough to talk to you, can actually smell the stuff on your breath.

morality hangover

The sickening feeling you get when you wake up after a party or otherwize crazy night. You feel okay until you suddenly remember what you did the night before. Except bedrest and pepto bismol wont fix this one. Questionable hookups, an unknown venue, random writing on your body, unexplained costumes, and a real hangover often accompany this. Most often your first words of the morning are "what the hell did I do last night?"

Hey that party was awesome last night! You hooked up with so many people! You were crazy.
-Tell me about. This morning I had the worst morality hangover when I woke up handcuffed to my dining room table wearing some other guys's boxers.

morale gear

Noun. Coined by the U.S. Coast Guard, refers to any female, particularly ones stationed on cutters, who are scandalous by nature and promiscuous with the male enlisted. As for civilian morale gear, these are females who make it a point to be sexually involved with male enlisted U.S.C.G.'s, even "making rounds through the unit". The better the morale gear the higher the rate. MG3 is sub-par. MG2 is good. MG1 is smokin' hot.

GM2 Johnson is hooking up with some morale gear, nasty MG3, she's been with half the crew already.

moral hazard

In helping to correct a problem which originated in past poor moral judgments, creating incentives for the same problem to repeat in the future without addressing the original poor moral judgments. Since there is an expectation that one was helped once, one will be helped again.

Giving money to banks which do not reform their mortgage lending practices creates a moral hazard
