Notaboutism

Notaboutism is a counter claim against one who uses a "whataboutism " claim referring to a situation where two scenarios are compared to each other for hypocrisy not in how individuals acted,but how they were scrutinized by media or an investigatory entity.

Bob claimed notaboutism to Joe's claim of whatboutism when discussing 2 different president's rape allegations and how the media showed more bias for one than another.

Mulligan Man

A do-over husband...usually a second husband who is considered a safe choice (i.e. more financially stable, less abusive, and more faithful) than woman's first husband. A Mulligan Man would have never been on the radar screen for the woman in high school/teen years and maybe college years. Only after being married to the exciting, yet less responsible jerk husband and perhaps having his offspring, does the woman want a new supportive provider before she become older and less desirable.

Although, Kevin had always been a nice, considerate, and responsible kind of guy, he avoided dating divorced woman as not to be considered a Mulligan man.

Bonnie, after years with her unfaithful high school sweetheart, decided to find herself a Mulligan man, who could pay the bills, be faithful, and provide for her two kids.
