Thoughts and Prayers

Everyone says, but very few actually do.

It's basically a polite way of telling someone that what they're going through sucks but it's not your problem

Now, if you ACTUALLY keep the person in your thoughts and prayers, AND make at least some effort to help them, then you're using this phrase with meaning. But most people use this phrase to politely say they don't give a damn about what you're going through.
The Correct Usage:

Jake: My Mom died.

Dan: Thoughts and Prayers for you guys

Jake: Dude is that really all you can give me?

Dan: No, I actually mean it, we can talk about it whenever you want and I'm always here for you. I had something similar happen a while ago.

Wrong Usage

Jake: My Mom Died

Dan: Thoughts and Prayers

Jake: Is that all you've got to help?

Dan: Yeah, I'm going through some tough crap too, my Instagram account got locked

padered

(Verb) To be given a written motion to present at a formal meeting that is read verbatim in order to forward a political agenda. However, that motion is self-incriminating or career ruining and was meant to forward a secret objective rather than to make you look like a hero.
Sarab gave me a resolution that would have limited tuition fee increases to predictable rates. But I got padered because when I presented it, everybody accused me of siding with the administration. I think I'll join the military now that my political career is over.
