late stage democracy 

a liberal democracy in which the politicians and bureaucrats behave like chimpanzees on LSD. they throw shit at their peers, and eat food that they know they have stolen but will receive no consequences due to them being "StAtE OfFiCiAlS".

the congress of this democracy seemingly cannot function without pork barrel politics. the congress doubles as a retirement home and mental asylum, or sometimes a massive sex offender registry.

this democracy will last only until a war breaks out, and will go back to a normal democratic system but fade slowly into late stage democracy once more.

common late stage democracies include but aren't limited to; the united states, the united kingdom, canada, and hungary.

"OMG DRUMP IS GONNA DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY"

"we will always be a democracy, a late stage democracy."

Late‑Stage Liberal Democracy

The condition of liberal democracy when its formal institutions—elections, parliaments, courts, free press—persist but have been hollowed out by economic inequality, corporate influence, and cultural polarization. Elections occur, but outcomes are predetermined by money and media manipulation. Rights exist on paper, but enforcement is selective. Public discourse is free but overwhelmed by disinformation and outrage. Late‑stage liberal democracy is democracy as theater: the rituals continue, but the substance—genuine popular control over collective decisions—has evaporated.

Example: “The country had elections every four years, but policy never changed, and the same donors always won. Late‑stage liberal democracy: the form of choice without the reality of power.”

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

eye bleach 

Looking or experiencing something nice after witnessing something horrid like a disgusting gif or a disturbing video. Typically used as eye bleach are nice images of whatever makes the disturbed person happy.

"Bleach my eyes! Why is that woman's face ripped off!?"
*Looks up images of puppies and kittens.*
"That's good eye bleach."
