Abattoir Blues

From the song by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, used to describe the depressed feeling you get about the modern world in general. An abattoir is a slaughterhouse, so the term, in a more in depth way, means you feel the world is lining itself up for slaughter, much like cows do at a slaughterhouse.
Man 1: Hey, are you all right? You've seemed kinda depressed lately.
Man 2: Oh, it's okay, I've just got a case of abattoir blues.

A principle of unimpeachable moral integrity uttered by an imbecile who is fundamentally incapable of adhering to it.
"It is an absolute principle of democracy that governments should not and must not say one thing before an election and do the opposite afterwards" -- Tony Abbott, Prime Minister of Australia 2013-

is an example of an Abbottism.

Abbotting 

To juggle multiple females at a time without confrontation from one another. In order to be consider Abbotting you must not be caught by one of the females you are juggling.
Having different girls come over every night without a conflict between two of those girls would be considered Abbotting.
