retire the cup

A phrase said to suggest that no other future answer to a question could possibly ever be any better. Refers to an old practice of ceasing to give an award (usually a perpetual trophy) once it's been won by the same entity a certain number of times.

A: Who do you think is the best national women's soccer team?
B: The USA. Retire the cup.

Road Vegan

Anyone, particularly avid cyclists, who advocates strongly and publicly for traffic calming, road diets, congestion zones or other means to discourage the free use of private motor vehicles.

Tim biked to the community meeting to push for lowering speed limits and adding more bike lanes: typical Road Vegan behavior.

Rorschach test

When a single event is interpreted completely differently by each side as driven by their political priors.

Trump's indictments are seen by Trump supporters as badges of distinction in a fight against selective prosecution, and as righteous condemnations of his egregious behavior by his detractors - a true Rorschach test.

Celebration Parallax

The phenomenon whereby the exact same set of facts is either celebrated or deplored depending solely on the political bias of the observer.

When a liberal writes that increased immigration is good because it leads to a liberal demographic shift, but then writes that conservatives decrying increased immigration are pushing "replacement theory," that's celebration parallax.
