How a --- how can I say this with modern-day "
politically correct" delicacy? --- "conscientiously
challenged" person disgustedly/jealously describes
someone else who is refusing to go along wif da speaker's less-than-proper wishes, and thus said looser-moraled grumbler views said diligently-truthful citizen as being an idiot.
Da lazy lumbering advantage-taking dudes at Possum Lodge don't consider their disgracefully-unfeeling behavior to be actually conniving or deceitful; they describe themselves as merely having "modest morals". They derisively refer to Red Green's nerdy-and-constantly-protesting/disapproving nephew Harold as being "moronest than that", however, and so for quite a few years they despised and ridiculed him, since his unshakable personal
integrity and super-dedicated caring for da
environment so blatantly "showed them up" and made them feel ashamed and unworthy. Once Harold landed a cushy $60,000-per-year job in da local government, however, said indolent
opportunistic unemployment-check-dependent louts suddenly "got all buddy-buddy" wif Harold, and openly/enthusiastically told each other what an awesome and wonderful guy he was.
