Political Appearance

When your significant other has a party that will be attended by people that you either don't know, or don't care about. You don't want to go, but you go anyway to safe face and/or give the illusion that you don't hate them.

Wife: "You can't do that Saturday, we have that Scrubs-themed costume party at the Smiths' that evening."

You: "I'll go, but I'm only making a political appearance."

-----

Coworker (sarcastically): "So, I'll see you at the holiday party, eh?"

You: "I dunno, I overheard my boss talking about possible promotions. I think it's worth at least making a political appearance."

fast food politics

n. The scandals, plots, intrigues, and gossip that often infuse the work environment of a fast food restaurant.

Jose: "That coworker is the fourth chick Jacob has banged in this restaurant. These people have no shame."

Joe: "This is typical fast food politics."

Jose: "Did Hunter just snitch on others and cause a nervous breakdown at this store?"

Joe: "Yeah, he stirred things up by going back and forth between people, and everyone is stewing over this fake drama. He may just want more hours by tattling and throwing others under the bus by exaggerating things. It's typical fast food politics."

Polite Acquaintance Zone

The proper place to consider an ex-lover after a bad break up. Should not be confused with the friend zone.

After she got over her anger about our break up, Nancy wanted to remain friends. But I think it's a better idea to keep her in my polite acquaintance zone.

pink poodle politics

Slang term for an unaffiliated and entirely apolitical perspective.

After speaking with him about the state of our country for about two or three minutes, I could sense his pink poodle politics as I was smelling the bubble gum on his breath.

Political Etch a sketch

To Change one position on Political issues after a politcal primary to make one's self image seem more politically moderate then where they stood when they ran for their politcal party's nomination (For Senate, Congress, President, Governor, ect). In essence it's to try to clear the board politically before battle their politcal opponent for a particular politcal office.

Made Famous by Mitt Romney's 2012 Presidential campaign when one of his campaign workers refereed to resetting Mitt Romney's public image after winning his party's Presidential nomination as using a Etch A Sketch

Candidate X had to take a hardline approach on immigration to make himself look more conservative then his primary opponent. Worried about his position on immigration making him look bad in the General Election, Candidate X proceeded to perform a Political Etch a sketch of his image.
