"Call me a willful Philistine, but I think McDonald's has the best french fries bar none!"
"I know I'm a music snob, but I love Britney Spears. That's my willful Philistinism."
Example of willful Philistinism: "I may not know art, but I know what I like."

A boyfriend who is just there to satisfy the need for having a boyfriend.
i.e. someone who is fulfilling short-term needs in your life, but for whom you don't see a long-term purpose.

Eh, he's just a placeholder boyfriend in my life. I hate sleeping alone.

I don't get fazed when I'm into a girl who has a boyfriend. I always just assume that he's a placeholder boyfriend, and that she'll dump him once she finds someone real.

A polite way of saying that you don't have, and don't want to have, anything to do with someone or something.
I don't mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show ... and that's a very nice way for me to put it!
I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I don't mess with that woman.
