Get the Precedent mug.New name for Obama. The man is ready to set many precedents in office the likes of which have never been seen before.

Get the Precedent Obama mug.Refers to an "acquired from the past" habit/routine/action/policy, usually of questionable morals/ethics. It originates from a practice that a former U.S. prez began many years ago, and so then one or more C-in-C's have partaken of same sinfulness on numerous occasions since then because they figger that it is something they can get away with and thus they should be able to do it themselves.
A few "classic" and disgraceful examples of a precedent of the United States would be Kennedy's philandering (and so Clinton and Dubya followed suit), Nixon's dirty politics (and so Reagan did likewise, as well), and Reagan's running rough-shod over everyone (just as The Donald is doing now).

Get the precedent of the United States mug.Referring to legendary, late British radio DJ John Peel, the case of the man playing vinyl at the wrong speed (ie. 33rpm at 45rpm or vice versa). The Peel Precedent is often invoked by DJs to excuse their own mistakes. Traditionally, there were three possible outcomes of such a mishap:
1. Peelie would stop the track about 30 seconds in, fluff a jocular apology and then play the track again at the correct speed
2. Peelie would let the track run to its conclusion, then admit his error (or ignorance - a lot of his vinyl had no indication of the correct speed) while arguing that it sounded good at the wrong speed anyway
3. In rare cases, Peelie would let the track run to its conclusion, argue that it sounded great at the wrong speed anyway, and then play the whole track again at the correct rpm, inviting listeners to draw their own conclusions with regard to its quality.

I messed up while DJing last night by playing Plastikman at the wrong speed, but i invoked the Peel Precedent and got away with it. It sounded just as good anyway...

Get the Peel Precedent mug.The dangerous precedent set by the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse on November 19th, 2021; that you have the right to self-defense by any means if your life is threatened by mentally ill pedophiles and rioters.
"The Rittenhouse precedent now gives deranged right-wingers the right to kill my wife's boyfriend if he chases one of them down in a riot"

Get the The Rittenhouse Precedent mug.Hym "Now (thanks to the new legal precedent) I'll be able to link the likely but preventable child murder that will happen EXPLICITLY AS THE RESULT of a targeted harassment campaign and the public theft of the solution to the current iteration of A.I. and link it to these piece of shit self-help YouTubers... And HOPEFULLY... I can detroy their lives from the grave... And then they kill themselves. It's a win-win"
