Named after the folk story in which a wealthy and very secretive man brings his newly eloped wife into his castle -- she keeps opening doors to areas he begs her not to explore as she finds out all his dark and wondrous secrets, which keeps her curious about him until finally she is in too deep and can no longer escape him.
Bluebeard's Castle is when an otherwise pleasant and enticing guy just gives you weird vibeslike he's not completely open about himself, and you ignore the obvious warning signs because you're just so curious about his past that you don't see how you're dragging yourself into his "soon-to-be" past, for better or (most likely) worse.
Think "Beauty and the Beast", but if the roles of the Prince and the Beast were reversed in the story arc.
(as they pull up to his place in a car)
Her: He doesn't want me asking where he got all his money. I don't get it, he never talks about his family or friends. He's being so cagey.
Friend: Well what does he tell you?
Her: He tells me I'm all he cares about, that he wishes I could just love him as he is and not ask questions. He wants me to stay the weekend at his place.
Her: (laughs) What is this, Bluebeard's Castle?
Her: Snap out of it, girl, he's playing you. I don't mean to hurt your feelings but he's nothing to you.
The counter-part of a Kool-Aid drinker. A Kool-Aid drinker is defined as the liberal democrat who is liberal because they are told they should be and make no attempt to decide why the are liberal. Often a Kool-Aid drinker simply wants to hate anything a republican does good or bad. A Blueberry Chugger is loaded up and juiced, power drinking and being boisterous as if their opinion is the only viewpoint. A Blueberry Chugger want to make fun of anyone who doesn't buy into their party line.
Guy #1--Gee, isn't Kool-Aid drinker red for a democrat and blueberry chugger blue for a republican backwards if red states are republican and blue democrat? Just doesn't make sense. It's backwards.
Guy #2--Well, what really doesn't make sense is the way both sides are fighting and dividing a nation instead of seeking realistic solutions. Instead, both follow their party's line.
Guy #1--Yeah, that is really backwards and makes no sense, besides I like beer. Didn't old Ben Franklin say, "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
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 Texaswill 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.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
