glass coffee table

A metaphor for the larger thing being destroyed in an attempt to eliminate a much smaller thing.

The conservative justices might have noted that 'voting fraud', which several states claim they are trying to prevent, is essentially nonexistent. As one federal judge put it, such laws are akin to using “a sledgehammer to hit an imaginary fly on a glass coffee table.”

A History of the World in 6 Glasses

That one book your AP World teacher requires you to read, but you never really understand the purpose of the book. Although your teacher gives you plenty of time to read the book, you will always procrastinate and read it the class period before. The book itself is split into six parts: beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Each part is mind-numbing and confusing and you'll eventually just get lost in what is going on. After finishing the book, I genuinely still have no idea why this book is so essential to understand world history.

Bob: Hey, wanna read A History of the World in 6 Glasses?
Any Reasonable Human Being: Why, does it look like I want to torture myself? You need to get checked out man...
Bob: Be nice, this book has some redeeming qualities.
ARHB(to themselves): Wow this dude is gonna stay a virgin his whole life.

In A History of the World in Six Glasses...

Chapter 2: Wine

**** ACTUAL EXCERPT ****
Wine was important, but yet it wasn't that important. Only the rich dudes could get it, but poor people could not. Some dudes diluted, while some dudes were raw. However, this brings up the question "Was the use of wine foreshadowing the development of the printing press and the Scientific Revolution?" However, the most important point out of all of this is that wahmen couldn't drink it, so wine is sexist. Therefore, you shouldn't drink wine because it was sexist.

People constantly make him the butt of jokes, conspiracies, trolling and spam, either on his profile or in his group.

That guy, Fuhrer-Glasses, he's pretty funny.

Tuna a la glass

A delicacy made out of a can of tuna and powdered glass. Mix the glass into the tuna, and serve to cats. The cats will love it as it cuts through their teeth and gums, and will enjoy the experience of crapping it out, if they live long enough.

"Honey, those stray cats are coming around again. I think we better give them Tuna a la Glass this time."

Glass Slipper

Coined by me Jeff Diaz, of Boston, MA.
Occurs at the beginning of a relationship or one night stand when a girl (or guy) leaves a personal item at the significant others apartment, house, or car. Much like Cinderella left a glass slipper behind for the prince. Can be malicious, i.e. you are cheating and they leave lipstick in medicine cabinet. Also used to mark their new territory, i.e. New Date: "Why do you have earing's in your car?"

Most common tactic: Used to ensure a reason to call or be called. More often it is to be harrassed by phone or a surprise visit.

New Date: "Why do you have earing's in your car?"

Guy: "Damn, I can't believe I got glass slippered, my last date a while ago must have been trying to mark her territory.

-------
Girl1: "How was your date with jacob?"
Girl2: "Awesome, I hope he calls...I left him a glass slipper in case he doesnt, then I will call him"
