A reluctance to give donations to charities raising funds for natural disasters such as the aftermath of the Tsunami, the S Asian Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. These events appear to occur with increasing frequency and so the public become weary of constantly being called upon to donate funds to help the needy.
This is also accompanied by a feeling that funds given in the past have been mismanaged through poor administration and other factors: therefore there is little point in making a donation as it will never reach those who need it most.
Roger was suffering from compassion fatigue when he watched another appeal to help the victims of the S Asian Earthquake. This time, he decided, charity begins at home. He went out for a few drinks down the pub.

A compass turd is created when a person Eats two consecutive high fiber meals. The first meal is exceptionally high in protein, and the second laden with fats. The eater then passes both meals in the same defecation. The high fiber content in the compass turd will hold a sturdy log, and the dense protein packed end sinks to the bottom of toilet bowl while the buoyant, fatty pole will float to the surface, leaving the compass turd pointing straight up and down.
The scout master taught the intrepid scouts how to lay a compass turd, along with many tricks and techniques of orientation in wilderness. The scouts who could birth the best fecal compass were granted an ornate and venerable badge denoting their glorious ever-skyward turd
The worst creation that man has ever seen. It was a mistake from the start, and should if died at the end of season 2. Nobody has ever played compasscraft and gotten out of it without an extra mental illness or two. Only hardcore nazis or femboys play on the server now, creating a playerbase of homo-fascists. It’s a strange place to be in.
“Hey, have you heard of compass craft? My brother played on it last week and now he has to go to therapy...”
The mind-set that a person is in when making a questionably moral decision.
Them: She cheated on me! Should I cheat on her?
Me: I don't know. What does your moral compass tell you?

Essentially an electronic-compass, aka "GPS". But especially a fancy one, like those used in the military or the scientific community. And sometimes available in upscale luxury vehicles, like private yachts, jets, ships, etc.
Wow, that's a sweet pompous-compass! I bet it set you back quite a bit!
Yeah! but there's no getting lost with this baby! ... ready to sail?

Having sex in all directions of the compass, preferably on a round bed.
Charlie Varrick was boxing the compass all night long. South by southwest is his specialty - the ladies love it!

The political compass is a political defining square, with four quadrants, with a questionnaire to identify you. As the political spectrum was quite unreflective of a lot of factors, they added a y/social axis to the current x/economic axis. A great example of why this is better than the plain old spectrum is France’s National front. It is often dubbed as “the far right party of France”, however, a lot of its economic policies are further left than the socialist party, so, it would give a lot more context to its beliefs. Authoritarianism tends to believe in government control, while libertarianism tends to believe in less government. Economic left tends to believe in spending more money and being open to progression, while conservatism tends to believe in cutting spending, and taking a cautious approach to progression. This has resulted in left wingers believing in equality and conservatism believing in hierarchy.
Where are you on the political compass?
