When the going gets tough, the tough get going

What this means is that when faced with difficulties and adversity, those who are mentally and physically resilient do not give up, but formulate an effective and disciplined plan of action which they initiate and carry through to a successful conclusion.

Whether we wanted it or not

Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

Whermst

Whermst is a word created by "therussianbadger" on YouTube. Used in his video posted on the 19th of April.

It means 'what' 'why' 'where' and 'how' in one word.

If this post gets enough likes I will submit it to the Oxford dictionary with the likes as evidence that people use it the same way.

cuntington’s whorea

Cuntington’s Whorea refers to a progressive condition characterized by uncontrollable use of nasty words. Usually occurs in mean burned-out biotches who are overdue for retirement.

This is incidentally a “spoonerism” of a legit related medical condition, Huntington’s Chorea, which is accompanied by uncontrollable movements of the limbs and death of brain cells.
Man, I figured out what is wrong with her - She has Cuntington's Whorea!

The Doc just diagnosed her with Cuntington’s Whorea...prognosis is poor - we can count on frequent outbursts of nastiness from here on out...but now that she has a diagnosis, she can’t be blamed for it anymore...lucky bitch

Whiz

Whiz (male) & Whizette (female) comes from the word wisdom.

Wisdom:

a: Accumulated philosophic or scientific learning-knowledge;

b: Ability to discern inner qualities and relationships-insight;

c: Good sense of udgment

d: Generally accepted belief

Challenges what has become accepted wisdom among many historians.
I got to see an actual Whiz, wizing at the urinal. So I didn't bother him. Would have been better if it had been a Whizette, tho.

Who is junior?

Junior , augh you already who the fuck I’m talking about, that J type mf, stay away from J, he’s purely evil and seduces you with his innocence

Mr J is NOT to be underestimated, so avoid juniors and hope for the best

It feels tiring to have to explain it despite not trying to give too much away but the name itself is already too much yet necessary info

Junior is a bad boy or possible secret murderer or something

So who is junior? That’s right for everyone’s sake it’s best no one ever has to find out
