Platitude salad

Similar to a word salad.

platitude salad

The language used by public figures to the effect of placating and/or galvanising an audience that in order to gain their trust. Politically this may lead to more votes.

However, there is usually zero substance and legitimacy in what is being said and no follow-through.

Ivanka Trump’s entire commencement speech was a gigantic platitude salad. She tried to come across as sincere but it was clearly disingenuous. What a Karen.

platitude salad

The language used when members of the Democratic Party talk to their constituents. This language is intended to galvanize a populace to vote for a particular Democratic party member as it appears to be a lead-in to more progressive policy. However, this is followed by zero substance, no legitimate policy, deafening silence and inaction which bewilders and misleads the general public. Make no mistake of it, this is totally intentional as the Democratic party does not care about you unless it's correlated to lining their own filthy pockets.

Hillary Clinton's entire presidential platform was a gigantic platitude salad. She had nothing to offer real Americans who were struggling, and lost to a narcissistic idiot loudmouth moron who has never even eaten a salad in their lifetime.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
