I approve this message

A suffix-phrase attached to the end of any sentence, especially insults, to make you sound like a douche-bag politician. Particularly useful in accentuating the in-your-faceness of an insult.

Listen Bob, I'm tired of finding dirty dishes in the sink and picking up the dirty boxers you leave all over the bedroom. Get your ass in gear, you slovenly piece of crap, or I'll walk right out that door forever--Oh I will--but not before shoving your disgusting underwear down your throat.

I'm your girlfriend, and I approve this message.
