Another word for "I'm a stuck up asshole." Usually used to emphasize someone's non involvement in something as well.
Person 1: I think defenses should try and take Tom Brady out of the game
Person 2: No, nobody can even get to Brady because the patriots are so great. I'm not a Patriots fan either. I'm just a realist.

Someone who thinks of things in a realistic manor. An opposite of a realistic is a hopeless romantic.
For example ; you don't have dreams about fairy tales or love. You just go with the flow, basically. & let things fall into place without over thinking. A realistic is someone who might not believe in love unless proved wrong.

Lloyd is a realist. Mr. Luke, or maybe Dr. EXIT, has brainwashed him. Alas, it is so pathetically sad that you can believe everything a guy with nose hair on the top of his nose says. I mean, come on, Lloyd, he didn't even know the right amount for STP.

Someone who is able to look at the positive side of life while maintaining a realistic viewpoint. Although seemingly contradictory (or even possibly as an oxymoron), it clearly is not due to the fact that realism has no positive or negative association, only a focus on the realistic elements of a situation.
Craig is an optimistic realist because while he understands that in reality, negative things can happen, that there is an equal chance that positive things will happen.

Michael - "I saw Salt."
Ann Marie "How was it?"

A term used by lazy and/or shitty writers (usually creepypasta writers) when they want to describe a piece of artwork that looks good enough to almost pass as a photo, but they also don't feel like writing out a meaningful description of said artwork.
Using this phrase more often than not puts a story into crappypasta territory.

The sky had darkened, the title emblem was rusted and ruined, the SEGA 1991 was now instead SEGA 666, and the water had turned red, like blood, except it looked hyper-realistic.
