somebody else's problem 

(n.) a device which allows you to render an object invisible if no one expects it to be there, as seen in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
"An SEP," he said, "is something that we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem. That's what SEP means. Somebody Else's Problem. The brain just edits it out, it's like a blind spot. If you look at it directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye."

Thrashing around in stinging nettle with someone else's dick 

Used as an expression for people who enjoy benefits while someone else is taking the risk for it, and therefore they can give false advice, act irresponsibly without retribution.
Often associated with golden boys, politicans, or people in high positions.
Originated in Hungary.
It's easy for the politicans to pass a new act, they are thrashing around in stinging nettle with someone else's dicks, not theirs.

"Sorry but they own the rights to it. We can't just make someone else's fish!"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
