Palin-drome

Coined by Jon Stewart and a keystone of the Sarah Palin arsenal, this is a political technique in which one complains about "unfair" assertions and criticism made by political opponents, but then proceeds to criticize said opponents in the same, allegedly "unfair" manner.

Also known as the "anchorage steamer" and the "caribou ball-swivel."

See also, hypocrisy.

Sarah Palin - We've been falsely accused of being accessory to murder. This persecution is reprehensible. Blood libel...whatever that means...they're doing it.

Sarah Palin - But, y'know, this shooter may have even been a leftist. People on the left clearly do not like my message and are intent on bringing America to its knees.

Sarah Palin - In fact, if they didn't have their double standards, the left wouldn't have any standards!

Jon Stewart - Why don't we call that an anchorage steamer...or no wait...a PALIN-DROME!

Way Better than Rebecca Black

A go-to phrase for youtube comment boards used to offer consolation to youtube video content (usually a song) that, while otherwise relatively sub-par, is nevertheless far more accomplished and/or enjoyable than Rebecca Black's "Friday."

Youtube comment: Yo idk how this vid is kickin' on the front page when it should be chillin' on the back page, but it's still way better than Rebecca Black.
