Sha-non-ing

The act of kicking yourself in the head repeatedly for letting any beautiful, witty and charismatic Irish girl walk out of your life.

non-core promise

A commitment to deliver (a service, funding, an item) that is subsequently set aside. The broken promise is then explained with the glib expression "oh, but that promise was non-core".

Now generalised to non-political situations, too.

Origin: Australian federal elections at the turn of the 20th/21st centuries. The conservative party (known as the Liberal/National coalition) made a number of election promises which were broken soon after the election. The prime minister, John Howard, attempted to explain this behaviour by claiming that some promises are "core" and some are "non-core" and thus, don't count.

Not only did "No tax increases, no new taxes" turn out to be a non-core promise, but in the campaign, Howard had also given a solemn undertaking that "I'm not going to break any promises". That one was certainly non-core.

Non-sexual dominance

The way someone treats their significant other in powerful but not degrading way. This act is seen as endearing.
Non-sexual dominance is so cute-
“Come here, baby”
“Let me help you”
“Be careful”
“Come lay here, princess”
“Sit on my lap, kitten”
“Hold my hand while we’re out”
“Come cuddle”

He uses a lot of non-sexual dominance phrases when he speaks to his girlfriend.

non-offensive swears

A moronic contradiction which defeats the purpose of it being a swear.

This total idiot should be informed that 'arse' is how Brits, Irish people etc say it. Idiot.
