The way people who function below normal mental capacity describe a situation in which they describe receiving something. The misinterpreted form of accepting, AKA, the dumbass version.

A person who is an exception to the rule. Every rule. Because of his aspergers, he is untouched by social norms and expected to Sperg out at any normal exchange. Is capable of laughing uncontrollably and without ample reason. Also forgets how to door.

A euphamism for stupid, said to parents of school-aged children who are likely to sue if their "special little guy" isn't treated like a genius.
Teacher: "Mrs. Johnson, little Billy is minimally exceptional."
Mrs. Johnson: "Oh, how wonderful to hear!"

A loophole that protects a very narrow subset of athletes and celebrities from the typical criticism, judgement, backlash most would experience following transgressions such as: racially insensitive or anti-LGBT comments, criminal activity, drug or alcohol abuse, rampant promiscuity, flaunting/squandering of wealth, involvement in altercations, etc.
This loophole is granted only to select few individuals who have, over time, built such a negative and illustrious resume of actions, behaviors, statements, etc. that they are seen as too far gone and disconnected, unaffected by backlash, insane or delusional, or not worth attacking
Examples include: Floyd Mayweather Jr., Charlie Sheen, Eminem, Lenny Dykstra, Courtney Love
(coined by sportswriter/blogger named Jeremy Morris in 2017)

Floyd Mayweather yet again showed us all why he’s the ultimate Mayweather Exception guy with that response. He’s clearly never heard of the MeToo movement but managed to answer the question by talking about a couple of his million dollar cars.
Courtney Love was hammered trying to parallel park on the sidewalk on TMZ but she’s definitely earned the Mayweather Exception as far as drinking/drug use so no ones really surprised. Imagine if Taylor Swift was drunk driving on TMZ. Twitter would crash.
