turd in the punch bowl

n. A person who spoils a pleasant social situation.

This metaphor is powered by a particularly vivid contrast: the inviting sensory appeal of a festive beverage juxtaposed with the revolting suggestion of feculent contagion. Therefore, labeling someone a turd in the punch bowl is most appropriate when the individual's deleterious influence goes beyond mere faux pas or nuisance behaviors, and rises to the level of deliberate offense for its own sake. Consider that the literal act of depositing or excreting fecal matter into a communal food-service container would be sabotage.

The punch bowl and the feces connote certain additional nuances. The former is a symbol of public community, as such dispensers are frequently encountered at parties where they become a focal point for interaction. Freud famously identified feces with aggression and the possessive instinct. Thus a turd in the punch bowl suggests rage toward, and / or the urge to conquer, a community or society as a whole. Defecating into a punch bowl is a very public act, in contrast with poisoning the well or laying an upper decker, which are generally surreptitious. In particular then, to be a turd in the punch bowl is to be a willful and attention-seeking obstructor to the success of a social community.

The turd in the punch bowl was Brian, who had to go rat out our awesome senior prank idea to the principal.

bowling shoe sophisticate

A bowling shoe sophisticate is person who dresses in outrรฉ clothing when going to a nice restaurant, such as leisure suits, bolo ties, and bowling shoes. Obviously, this is meant sarcastically.

Yes, Hector was a true bowling shoe sophisticate: he wore yoga pants, a university sweatshirt, and - yes! - bowling shoes with the size on the back.
