A type of small alcoholic beverage, taken as a shot with a 'back' to chase it, named for a conspiracy theory which posits that the U.S. government invented it as part of a health trend to get people to buy more vodka and pay more excise tax on liquors. The shot is usually taken as follows: 1-2 ounces of Vodka (usually Tito's gluten free) taken as a shooter, followed by a chaser mixing olive oil, turmeric, and Bragg's liquid amino. The sourness of the amino sometimes causes people to gag after the vodka, but if one can keep it down, the olive oil is supposed to help coat the stomach against the acidity and soak up some of the alcohol, preventing hangovers.
I went to Erewhon this morning with Tabither, and afterwards we went out on the Strip and took Government Shots all night- I mean, I've got a shoot tomorrow. I've gotta be fresh in the mornings, but I've gotta party, too. The Government is underrated.

Get the Government Shotmug. A corporate entity, like the one that owns the buildings people live in, work in, shop in, dine in, play in, the doctor's offices they go to, and so on.

Get the Governmentmug. Saying something even worse then what actually happened (still usually bad but not necessarily) to subvert expectations and make someone less upset about the second thing.
Person A: "I accidentally scratched your car."
Person B: "What!?! How bad is it?!"
Person A: "Actually, I just scraped your side mirror, but it should be fine. I was just pulling a government to subvert your expectations.”

Get the Pulling a governmentmug. Oh hey, would you look at that? They're taking another vacation! Fantastic! I'll just sit here and let the infection continue to eat away at my brainz and then you just fuck off into the night and do whatever, right?
Hym "Ho! That is not a surprise at all. There was never a 'Well maybe we won't shut it down if so-and-so does whatever.' No. The government shutdown was always going to happen. They are going to do to the rest of you what they are doing to me and what they have been doing at those town halls. Walk away from you as you're talking to them. Go to their homes. Pull up the shutters. And wait it out. Wait for you to tire yourselves out. They are going to come back later with 'Alright guys we did it. We did the deal-contract and now we can get back to talking about UFOs. FuUuUuck me! No I'll just sit here though. Don't mind me."

Get the Government Shutdownmug. One who is capable physically of completing a job but rather chooses to sit at home and leach checks from the government.
