The Burning Bush

Nickname for former U.S. president George W. Bush.

A reference to the burning bush in the Bible, which was on fire, but was not charred.

He was nicknamed as such because he was plagued with scandal throughout his entire presidency, yet he managed to complete 8 years in the White House and beyond without any legal action being taken against him or any plans to remove him from office, and since he finished, he has still remained untouched by the hands of the law.

It is alleged by some that The Burning Bush committed more than 300 impeachable offenses during his presidency.

Slow burn

"slow burn" is an expression used by soyboys to refer to their favourite type of horror, one "without jumpscares" and "therefore friggin' superior". The most notable examples of this type of horror are A24 films.
It often is preceded by "(a) bone-chilling".

"Dark, eerie, atmospheric, character development, suspense build-up, a bone-chilling slow burn."

"Three tickets for me, my wife and my wife’s son for the newest A24-produced, genre-redefining, trope-subverting, atmospheric, dark and eerie, emotionally draining, gut wrenching, aesthetically heavy craft by post-horror auteur with an arthouse edge, dread-inducing, suspenseful build up with strong character development and gradual feeling of escalation, bone-chilling slow burn with β€œsay more with less” approach and soul-shaking, blood-curdling, skin-crawling and nerve-wracking exercise in persistently looming dread where tension and anxiety permeates every frame as movie reaches its nail-biting, jaw-clenching and paranoia-inducing final climax, free of any cheap gore, cartoonish CGI or infantile jumpscares horror film, please. I'll have an extra large soy latte to go with that."

Oh Burn

One of the ultimate insults and comebacks of the world, along with "So's your face", "That's what she said" and "Ya Mum".

It is said either by the person who insulted you, or a by stander who witnessed the insultation.

Can be used quite effectively with others in the "Ultimate Insult" group.

Trever: Hey do it harder, man!
Donald: That's what ya mum said!
Ben: Oooooooh Burn!

slow burn

Gradual but inexorable increase in anger, eventually becoming outright rage or fury; what happens as a patient or slow-witted person figures out what has happened and why it is significant. NOT the insult, but the process that the insult (or other upsetting thing) starts in the victim.

"Beware the fury of a patient man" -- Seneca was talking about the consequences of a slow burn here.

At first Ned liked to think his new girlfriend was popular, but as that progressed to flirty, and then to "widely available even when Ned was right there", he began to do a slow burn about it; finding her topless in the kitchen at a party was the last straw.

She did a slow burn over the fact that her roommate borrowed things, didn't return them, gradually assumed she owned them, and finally began to lend them out and give them away herself.

He dented my car and at first it was no big deal; I left a note on his windshield saying we'd figure out what to do about it, but when I didn't hear from him for months, except promises that we'd get in touch real soon, I started to do a slow burn.
