Mom in the Prom

When you get dropped off at prom but then, your mom's favorite song comes on, she gets all the attention, and then the next day everyone talks about how cool you're mom is.

Me: "There goes my mom dancing again."
Friend: "What? She's so cool!"
Me: "Yeah, cool for a Mom in the Prom."

Potest non prohibite amandum (PNPA

The feeling when you don’t want to or are trying to fall out of love, but you can’t help but still be in love or falling in love with someone.
Signified by feelings of self hatred, shame, or despair.
This doesn’t mean you necessarily Hate being in love, it simply means that you feel ashamed or don’t want to be in love due to negative emotions or yourself holding yourself back.

Potest non prohibite amandum (PNPA) makes it difficult to always enjoy my time around the person I love, but I can’t help but be happy around them either”

Fallacy of Prohibited Comparison

The fallacy where someone claims you cannot point out double standards, hypocrisy, or make certain comparisons in political debates, often by invoking exceptionalism or special circumstances. "You can't compare X to Y!" becomes a way of shielding a position from uncomfortable parallels. The fallacy lies in prohibiting comparison altogether rather than engaging the actual similarities and differences. Often paired with the Fallacy of Relative Exception (using exceptional cases to dismiss comparison) and the Fallacy of Absolute Exception (treating differences as absolute barriers to comparison). Westsplaining is a classic example—the assumption that Western contexts are so unique that comparisons with other contexts are automatically invalid.

"I pointed out similarities between Western foreign policy and actions we condemn in other nations. Response: 'You can't compare us to them—we're completely different!' That's Fallacy of Prohibited Comparison—shutting down comparison rather than engaging it. All comparisons have differences; the question is whether the similarities are meaningful. Prohibiting comparison altogether is just a way of avoiding uncomfortable parallels."

I’m gonna take you to prom

An ineffective limp wristed confusing threat. A phrase that is intended to replace “I’m gonna kick your ass” but would most likely leave the threatened party believing that the person uttering this phrase is romantically interested in them.

I’ve had enough of your shit, I’m gonna take you to prom.
