Mediocre Dick Energy (MDE)

MDE is a complete lack of confidence and zest due to the fact that one is packing a small gun. Like conceal and carry, but for a baby. #babycock

Medicare For All

A single payer healthcare bill proposed in the United States that works by expanding the already existing Medicare program to cover all citizens.

Medicare For All funds healthcare through taxes, rather than paying premiums and deductibles to profit-driven insurance companies.

This is important legislation because the United States is the only developed nation that doesn’t have universal care for all of its citizens.

If we had Medicare for All, then you’d never have to worry about out of pocket healthcare expenses again.

premium mediocre

Attempts at being upscale when you have little clue what class really is. An attempt to be fancy, when it's in fact little more than a polished meh. A little splurge to get fancy, when it's flexing a little bit of status from spent money more than achieving a high standard of quality. Still essentially mediocre, but with some fancy frills polishing the appearance without substantial improvement.

Originally coined by Venkatesh Rao in 02017 "Premium mediocre is the finest bottle of wine at Olive Garden." it has quickly spread from Twitter throughout the intarwebz.

"I wanted to impress her, so I took her to a fancy restaurant." "Yeah bro? Like where?" "Red Lobster" "Man, that ain't fancy, that's just premium mediocre."

McMansions are about as premium mediocre as you can get.

mediocrement

n. It's like a compliment, but not. But it's also not an insult.

3 examples of a mediocrement:

"Hey, you're not the grossest person I've ever met!"
"Well, you didn't miss ALL the pins on your last bowl."
"Here, have a participation trophy."

Mediocre

Not good, not bad, but a negative term nonetheless. Often used to describe something that is average, but was expected to be much better.

She was a mediocre student who could have been much better.
