Congress

Pro is the opposite of con, right? So, what's the opposite of progress?

"Although we, the people, have the power, it is Congress that decides whether or not our power is acceptable. Use your Amendment X responsibly."

Congressed

Getting fully, totally, irredeemably screwed. Made popular by the complete decimation of the India's Congress political party in national elections.
I got badly Congressed at work.

To congress

To inexplicably debate inane problems at the expense of fixing much larger issues; hypocritically exort others to do things one would not do oneself

To forgo long term solutions in favor of more politically expedient solutions; disregard facts due to political morass

First used by Ezra Klein
Jimmy congressed everything up last night when he kept talking. We never even left the house.

We were about to figure out where to go to dinner and then Tom had to congress it all up.

congressing

Wasting time and energy. Being generally unproductive even though you have a lot of very important stuff to do.
Say your light bill is due by 5:00 PM or they're going to turn off your power. A friend comes by at 4:30 PM and sees you napping.. He'd say, "Dude, you better quit congressing and pay your power bill."

Or... you're just hanging out on Sunday morning and a friend calls and asks what you're doing. You'd reply, "Nothing man, I'm just congressing."

If Pro and Con are opposite, does that mean Progress is the opposite of Congress?

congress

A part of the U.S. legislative branch that has a total of 435 morons that never miss a chance to fuck something up. These group of idiots are overpaid and underworked. The sad part is that these people have about a 98% reelection rate. It takes marches, riots, and or mass death to get them to fix anything. The only thing that matters to them are votes and money; they never listen to their constituants. This isn't about Democrats or Republicans, these people are truly incompetent. These people will probably be the demise of the United States because of their inability to do anything.
Today, the Congress passed a bill that fixes nothing. No wonder they have a 20% approval rate.
