Don't Make Perfect The Enemy Of Good

Pronounce: "dump-tea-ogg"

Commonly used by fans of Theresa May's Brexit 2018 deal, as a catch-all come-back for when questioned as to why it's so bad for Britain.
Also, a good put-down to counter perfectionists or anyone who has criticised your half-assed attempt at a job.

"Teacher: Simpson, this homework assignment is abysmal like you just did it in 5 minutes waiting outside the classroom"
"Pupil: Miss, dmpteog - remember, Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without — Confucius"
"Teacher: You're right...as you were. Stop chewing!"
