The Merv Doctrine

Derived from a famous quote by the iconic Merv, speaking on whether he scored on Australia Day:

"Mate, there are 364 days for hooking up with birds. Australia Day is about beers and mates."

The doctrine can be applied in various settings: ironically or sincerely, to show pride or hide shame, to rally the 'turbos' or to vibe out.

bush doctrine

To pose a pedagogic question while hubristically ignorant as to the correct answer.

Even Liberal journalists like Charles Krauthammer decried Gibson's attempt to bush doctrine Sarah Palin, pointing out that there exist four such doctrines, and that Gibson's definition was not even current.

Doctrine of Complicity

The idea that if you aren’t dedicating your life to fighting a problem, that you’re part of it and are therefore complicit in it

People who subscribe to the Doctrine of Complicity believe it’s a strong call to action, but critics say it’s a guilt trip designed to make you feel guilty

Doctrine Rage

The emotional meltdown that occurs when someone’s opinion deviates even slightly from the approved social or political doctrine. Usually accompanied by quote-tweet fury, moral grandstanding, and a desperate need to reaffirm tribal purity.

“She said merit mattered more than identity and triggered full-blown Doctrine Rage in the comments.”
