the "yuppie nuremberg" defense is when someone does something they know is wrong but tries justify it by simply saying they're doing it for the money. typically a lame excuse. . from the film, "thank you for smoking."
1; You know what your doing is wrong.
2; Everybody has a mortgage to pay.
1; Ah, the yuppie-nuremberg defense.
A fat piece of shit who works at EB-Games. Usually seen with his hot friends while treating his girl like shit. Doesn’t like black people and uses racist slurs too much. Usually uncircumcised with a tiny dick. Also had baby teeth and a patchy beard. Extremely loud and plays video games while eating over the mike obnoxiously loud. Pretty much Batman if Batman was instead a piece of shit who’s only redeemable quality was the sympathy given for having no parents.
Suddenly, Mini-Wheat is put on trial. It's accidental, but the judge is unaware. He sits in fear, nervous of what the judge will do- because of what he's done to the other people. It's 1945, so "Mini-Wheat Discrimination" has not been put into place yet. He is sentenced to immediate execution. No more Mini-Wheat, kids.
Judge: Next is Mini-Wheat.
Everyone: oh god mini wheat what are you doing at the nuremberg trials
"Just obeying orders". This means precisely what it says.Failure to obey orders for Germans in any of the armed forces meant the firing squad or punishment battalion.Incompetence also equalled failure to obey orders.A punishment battalion usually meant that your days were numbered.So strictly adhering to orders was the only option for Germans in WW2.And of course not all would have been "nazis" ie members of NSDAP.Putting the General Staff of a nation on trial is definitely a dangerous precedent.
The act of relentlessly and unendingly following up on closed actions in the desire to close off items. This act should be done politely but should have no end until the action is closed.
"Sorry to have to herenberg you, but your TPS cover sheet was missing."
"My boss will not let this action item drop. She keeps herenberging me"
