Read the Riot Act

This occurs after you make the first date after meeting online through social media. Everything has been going great until you meet in person and then your date “reads the riot act” firmly setting out their terms for how the dating and further relationship should progress.

Phil met Meghan on their first date only to be read the riot act, stating that she did not kiss on the first date, what days of week she was available, how he was to dress when they dated, the types of events she expected him to attend, etc.

the Wagner Act

Replying to fundraising emails with cat photos and gifs. Must be said with some officious verbiage to make it sound serious.

The spam-reply equivalent of rick rolling.

I don't just delete political fundraising emails, I invoke the Wagner Act instead.

The Insurrection Act

So... Trump tries to use "The Insurrection Act" and YOUR response is.... "NUH-UH! YOU'RE THE INSURRECTION!!"

Hym "WOW guys! The Uno reverse card is LITERALLY your only move in life, huh? He uses the Insurrection act after Biden says 'We have created the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud operation in the history of the presidency. Call these lawyers and they'll tell you what to do.' And YOUR ACTUAL RESPONSE to THAT is 'Umm... Um... No YOU'RE DOING AN INSURRECTION! I'm not doing that! YOU are!' That's worse than Jordan's 'Activists are pussy-charlatans!' accusation. You guys are ridiculous. You really are not to be taken seriously."

Act the fool

This quote is similar to Ludacris' song "Act a fool", from 2Fast2Furious, which means "acting like a fool, in a desperate way" aka "last resort, trump card". However, this one means "act like a fool, while you're smarter than everyone else". Or in other words, "Trolling 101". It may be similar in some situations.... =)

"Act the fool" also means, in some countries, "fazer-se de parvo".

Crowd: "haha, that guy is such a tool! Let's make fun of him!!"
Guy 1: (thinking w/ a grin) "hehe.... they think I'm a fool. I'll show them!"
Guy 2: "Yeah man.... Act the fool..." (thumbs up)

Mercury joins forces with Neptune on your birthday, so you will be more aware than usual of what is going on around you. That in turn will make it easier to understand why other people act the way they do. Question your own motives too.

What bizarre act is the canine performing?

A phrase used by British people use when perplexed about what a dog is doing.

"Allow me to receive a mint." "Allow me to receive one as well." "let me obtain one as well." "Splendid!" "Jolly good show!" "What bizarre act is the canine performing?"
