Light fuse and get away!!!!

Light fuse and get away!!!! — The resigned acknowledgement that one is involved in a relationship with a — relatively — volatile person. If you don’t qualify and modify the previous statement with the word “relatively” YOU WILL HAVE A FIGHT ON YOUR HANDS!!!!!

Light fuse and get away is a traditional warning on especially explosive and fiery 4th of July fireworks. Volitive lovers are are fun for the same reasons that these types of fireworks are exciting: SOMETIMES VOLITILITY CAN BE AS HOT AND AS EXPLOSIVE AS HELL.

Is a question of timing and skill with long and short fuses.

I’m not saying anything about your lover; but, if your lover had a label it would be: Light fuse and get away!!!!

Going Full Common

To give a public expository speech using vague and uplifting rhetoric; spoken in a sing song rhythmic cadence; as though participating in an open mic poetry slam.

This description is based on the key poetic delivery style elements of rapper and slam poet Lonnie “Common” Rashid Lynn.

This expression was made popular by the Season 2 trailer of the series Woke. The expression will get old when people find their own approach to public speaking; and, stop biting other people’s style. Which — actually — means that this expression will be around for a while!

Damn! Did you hear him give that best man speech; he was going full Common celebrating the bride and groom. I can’t remember a word he said but it made me feel a lot better about jumping the broom.

Why you ain’t say nothing?

Why you ain’t say nothing? — A favorite interrogative when someone gives you too much information way too late!
The reply to “ Why you ain’t say nothing?” is usually: “What! You didn’t know?!!!”

1) Man at a collage reunion::
You know, when we were in school, I hade quite a crush on you.
Woman at the reunion:
Why you ain’t say nothing?

2) First Friend:
You didn’t have to bring trees with you from out of town; Buddha is legal here in this state.
Second Friend:
Why you ain’t say nothing?
First Friend:
What! You didn’t know?

In a Kindergarten gone mad; the tall first grader is KING!

In a Kindergarten gone mad; the tall first grader is KING! — in an era of 21st century people questioning whether the world is round or flat; whether or not JFK is still alive; whether the photograph of the dress is blue or gold; whether gun violence, police overreach, and White extremist terrorism are actually American problems; and whether it was patriotic to attack the Capitol on 1/6/ 2021m it is clear that “The American Sheeple” are now ready for an insidious Ring Master — the aforementioned “Tall First Grader”.

THE BULLY!!!!!

Hence the expression: In a Kindergarten gone mad; the tall first grader is KING! — another way of saying in the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is King.

All people are waiting for is someone who will validate their idiocy; and, promise to guide them to that “Kool-Aid Promise Land” where their wildest dreams will come true.

America is ready to “beam up” or perhaps “go noisily into that good night” Manson Family style: Helter Skelter! Or, maybe we can burn ourselves up with our Bibles and imitation Jesus figures and our guns until all that is left are the songs they will sing about the day we gave in to The Audacity of Nope an surrendered to our worst angels.

Gods Bless America.

In a Kindergarten gone mad; the tall first grader is KING! Is another way of saying in the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is King.

Newjazz

Newjazz is a “nom de guerre” or sobriquet for a man or woman on a mission in a place they shouldn’t be attending; doing things that they shouldn’t be doing.

A cultural guide or insider gets you in and introduces you as “Newjazz” to protect your identity; and, to allow you to move more freely and safely while partaking of forbidden delights.

It is generally understood that a person baring the name “Newjazz” is a first time attendee AND his or her hesitancy and/or awkwardness should be forgiven until they relax and become more comfortable in the surroundings.

However, the price of this indulgence is some type of social initiation to formalize your relationship to the community in which you are a guest. This can take the form of a public performance based on “venue activity” or the intake of powerful substances that could potentially BLOW YOUR MIND.

This term is made popular by season 3 episode 8 of Atlanta named — not surprisingly — New Jazz.

1) Now all of you Cougars hide your claws! This “Cub” is my friend. Newjazz. Make him comfortable but DON’T BITE! Unless he wants you to.

2) This is my “celly” Newjazz. He from around my way. He hung out with 23rd street and them and he aight . He’s in on some cowboy shit; but he ain’t do it! Just some BULLSHIT! Y’all show him some love.

Wisconsin Death Trip

The Wisconsin Death trip is a celebration of life in the midst of death, and a celebration of death in the midst of life. Common elements of the death trip include:

The Funeral Drinking Game
Photography of the person laying in state.
The endless loop Seasons of Your Life animation montage of the deceased
Memorial Day cemetery picnics
Cookie Cutters made from home casting raised letters from tombstones
Meeting a future spouse at a funeral

Dealing with death stress by having particularly good sex

But, there are regional variations.

Some of this has been documented in a book called Wisconsin Death Trip by Michael Lesy, Charles Van Schaik, and Warren Susman.

I thought I could escape the Wisconsin Death Trip by moving away from Wisconsin until I realized that we all carry the Wisconsin death trip within us — even people who aren’t from Wisconsin.
