Hostile indifference

When someone attacks, punishes, or lashes out with aggression that is completely detached from emotion — no hatred, no passion, no care who the target is. The hostility is real, but the person is utterly indifferent to why they are hostile or who it’s against. It’s not blind rage (emotional chaos), not indiscriminate hostility (attacking everything in sight), and not disguised hostility (pretending not to care but secretly malicious). It’s aggression powered by apathy.

Not to be confused with:
• Blind Rage → uncontrolled, sloppy, fueled by overwhelming emotion.
• Indiscriminate Hostility → aggression against everything without distinction.
• Disguised Hostility → manipulative tactic of pretending indifference while secretly hostile.

• The berserker fought with hostile indifference: swinging at anything in reach, but the moment a clear opponent appeared, he locked on and cut them down without a flicker of hate.
• She punished her enemies with hostile indifference, targeted and precise, but without anger — just empty violence.
• That wasn’t rage. That was hostile indifference — mechanical, detached, and uncaring.

Hostile Iranian Airspace

hostile la vista

Describes da mood when someone bids farewell to someone else whom he either dislikes or is displeased with.

Da Terminator most likely was actually thinking, "HOSTILE la vista" when he blew da liquid-nitrogen-frozen T-1000 to bits, since he was none too happy about all da chaos and destruction dat said evil cyborg had caused up to dat point.

Hostile obedience

The act of following directions from an authority figure to the nth degree all the while knowing that the effort will yield meaningless/worthless data or results. This is generally accompanied with the smug self-satisfaction of knowing that you have wasted 6 weeks completing a project whose value is zero and being able to tell you boss with a smart-ass grin that you did exactly what you were told.

There are two types of bad employees - one never does what is asked of them - the other only does what is asked of them. A person who practices hostile obedience falls into this second category
