Red Sofa Diplomacy

The act of giving your mother-in-law a red sofa as a gift only to take it back (or attempt to) many years later.

Neon Dale is a master of red sofa diplomacy because she vainly tried to take back a 7 year old red sofa that she gave to her widowed mother-in-law.

diplomacy

1) Is the ability to tell someone that they are full of shit and having them fully understanding and agreeing with you before you've finished explaining why.
2) Knowing how to sound like you agree with an opposing view while tactfully bringing the opposition around to your way of thinking.

Talking your way out of a traffic ticket takes tact and diplomacy.

Diplomating

Diplomating is the act of exposing yourself at a bar or other public place and claiming diplomatic immunity. This is commonly done by scummy men claiming to be diplomats.

The man was diplomating in front of us as we grabbed our drinks at the bar.

big stick diplomacy

Also known as the big stick policy, this was the foreign policy popularized by the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt in 1901. Essentially, one's assets were used to intimidate opponents rather than one's words.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far." - Theodore Roosevelt, 1901

"I firmly believe in and practice big stick diplomacy when pursuing life goals."

East Lansing Diploma Factory

1. AKA Michigan State University - an 'institution' of
'supposedly' higher learning (for monkees - and
arsonists, I guess).
2. Training ground for future failed middle managers
of dead-ended careers and lives (Super-size it !)
3. Biggest undergraduate rip-off around: herded into class
sizes of 1000+, dormitories akin to Auschwitz, T.A.'s
who don't even know the subject matter; one actually
comes out of this asylum a bigger idiot than upon first
arriving, if that's possible.

After a night of heavy partying on campus and before starting his new job as an assistant lawn cutter, Wally awoke only to find he had inadvertently used his recently received diploma from the East Lansing Diploma Factory as an ass wipe. 'That's okay', he consoled himself, 'besides I can always go into any one of the many bars they have here and look for the toilet paper dispensers in the mens room.' Specifically, Wally was referring to certain dispensers that have printed on them: 'Bachelors Degrees From This Institution. Please Take One.' Hell, take several ! Give them to your friends ! You can never have too many ass wipes at the Ol' ELDF !

dicklomatic immunity

Dicklomatic immunity applies to all the sexual things that one can do to another person without getting in trouble. This is most often established between couples. This also applies to sexual things you are allowed to do to another person while they are unconscious.

My girlfriend said I could cockslap her whenever I wanted, I've been waiting for my dicklomatic immunity on that.

diplomabam!

A word used to describe failed diplomacy. Derived from the combination of 'diplomacy' and 'bam!' Before diplomacy is completed successfully, it is halted and discontinuted as the result of a violent act, thus the 'bam!' sound which is reminiscent of the sound that a fist punch made in old comics.

Adam: So are we cool about that last prank?

Greg: Well I guess so. Yeah we're-- DIPLOMABAM!

Adam: Ahh! My face!!!
