Refusing to do what’s needed in a serious situation with disastrous consequences, due to baseless overconfidence and wanting to avoid proving your critics right.
Refers to New SouthWales Liberal premier Gladys Berejiklian’s refusal to lock down Sydney, to avoid giving political points to the Victorian Labor premier Daniel Andrews. Her failure to lock down in response to the highly contagious and deadly Delta strain of coronavirus has instead lead to a months-long protracted lockdown and lives lost, which could have been avoided by locking down fora short time in the first place.
We told him to get a proper mechanic instead of doing a DIY job, but he insisted on doing a Gladys and now the dipstick needs to buy a whole new engine.
Etymology is from the cartoon "Popeye", where the character Wimpy would frequently utter this phrase. He was a glutton, and would consume burgers at a ferocious rate but could rarely pay for his habit.
The phrase implies the underlying feeling that the person will unlikely actually pay for the hamburger (or whatever) on Tuesday (or ever, for that matter.
I told my bank that I'd gladly 'pay them tuesday for a hamburgertoday' to buy that new sportscar, but they wouldn't approve me.
From Popeye cartoons. Line often uttered by Popeye's portly friend Wimpy. Of course, "Tuesday" would never come, and so Wimpy constantly secured himself a free lunch. Thus the line is used to jokingly indicate that one would like to "borrow" something without any real intention of ever paying you back.
At the movies:
Bob: Aw man, I forgot my wallet! Hey Joe, I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a movie tickettoday...?
Joe: Yeah whatever...I'll buy your sorry ass another movie ticket just shut up.
Phrase used by Wimpy, Popeye's hungry pal. Song from the 1980 movie "Popeye."
An appeal for a small loan that will not be payed back.
Generally used by a person who considers themself a likeable egomaniac.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
