Guardian-fed chicken

A person with snobbish tendencies who thinks their opinions are more sophisticated, cultured and unique than everyone else's. In reality, they are people without a thought of their own who regurgitate the opinions expressed in the Guardian to create the illusion that they have sophisticated, cultured and unique ideas.

The origin of the phrase is an analogy of 'corn-fed chicken' which is a cause célèbre amongst Guardian readers and enables these people to feel better others who simply eat 'chicken'.

girl: have you read 'The Finkler Question'?
guy: what's 'The Finkler Question'?
girl: it won the Booker Prize last year.

guy: are you saying it's good?
girl: the Guardian said it was good.

guy: don't be a Guardian-fed chicken, now. make up your own mind.
girl: but that would mean I'd have to read the book!

Coast Guard

You may disrespect them, think that they don't do as much work as the Marines or Navy.

But when you're in the 10 degrees water in a storm surrounded by sharks and 20 feet tall tidal waves, you're gonna have a hella lot respect for them.

Respect the US Coast Guard.
