Lifetime Achievement Award 

A very strong mixed signal from an industry association, particularly in the performing arts, given to a long-established figure. It is simultaneously a heartfelt pat on the back for a splendid career, and a forceful hint that said career is now over as far as the industry is concerned. Something like receiving a really meaningful hug while behind guided very meaningfully toward the door.
Ah, she's up for a Lifetime Achievement Award for her music career. Do you think she's going to write her autobiography or go on reality TV?

Lifetime Achievement Award 

The standard measurement for fun. The Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest form of fun achievable.
Kev: I went to a concert last night; it was so much fun!
Rae: But was it as fun as a Lifetime Achievement Award?
Kev: Of course not.

Lifetime Achievement Award 

When you are invited to be in the wedding party of a childhood friend that you have not talked to in many years.
Frank: Ugh, I cant go to the game that weekend, I have a wedding in Idaho.

Colin: What? Who lives in Idaho?

Frank: Childhood friend I haven't talked to in 19 years, and I got the Lifetime Achievement Award Invite.

Colin: UGH, that's $3k in flights, hotels, tuxes, and gifts you'll never see back, AND you have to act like you are still friends, like you will be in touch in a week or something.

Frank: Preach. Like, we aren't even on any group texts together.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
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.
