laager mentality

The idea that since every man (and his gun) is needed for the common defense of the group, any one man's behavior, short of murder, must be tolerated, even including mild insanity and such serious crimes as rape. (From the Afrikaans voortrekker word 'laager' - a circle of wagons forming a defensive perimeter, as when the days journey was done and the group settled in for the night)

When the cop shot the unarmed perp his buddies closed in with their laager mentality and made a thorough investigation of the facts impossible, intentionally misplacing evidence and confusing investigators.

Mental Making Out

When you're riffing on an idea with someone, and the words are coming so smooth & fluid & satisfying that you feel like you're losing yourself in the soft luscious cavern of their mind. And you kind of just want to stay there forever.

Whenever I talk to him I’m titillated and aroused...intellectually . It's like we're mental making out.

“I’m going to leave her on read before she leaves me on read”
“Why are you so desperate to leave her on read? You have some serious race mentality!”
