system of ascending precedents

a sequence of events wherein each event sets a new, higher standard that will act as a precedent for all subsequent events.
-As far as I know, this phrase has never been coined or defined before.

Bob tells funny stories and does spontaneous imitations at work. each one is a little funnier than the one before. his co-worker's expectations track with his performance so that now he has to maintain the gradient of improvement every time he opens his mouth or, - and this is the key- they will respond as if it was less funny than it really is. He has trapped himself in a system of ascending precedents.

U.S. Presidents

A "puppet" that says the same things as the previous presidents before him just to appeal to the public, and never actually follows through on most of these "promises", because the media is too busy eliminating our long-term memories.

Joe: Haven't you noticed that the past eight U.S. Presidents have done nothing different when it comes to foreign policy or energy?

Scott: Shhh...I'm watching the news.

presedent mugabe

The sexual act of spraying a liquid turd on your girlfriends or gimps face, ripping out some of your pubic hair and carefully placing it under their top lip with your thumb.

if you wake one morning smelling like shit and you look in the mirror only to see presedent mugabe staring back at you with a starteled look in his eyes, then you'd wish you were abraham lincoln.
