Awulian: I tried to play Tennis with Andy yesterday, but, he told me he came to look around the court for lost money.
Cahill: He is worth a straw, he is worthless, he slept all day while we were on a camping trip last month.
A straw hat is a brimmed hat that is woven out of straw or reeds.
People who wear straw hats do so to let it be known 'all the fucks they give', If one was to add up all those fucks; the total fucks given would be zero.
The wearing of the straw hat is a statement to a judgemental world. That statement is 'Look at all the fucks I give'.
If the wearer is worthy, it can be said the straw hat is wearing him/her
“I’m wearing a straw hat; does it look like I give two fucks?”
Person 1,”Look at that guy wearing a straw hat; he clearly gives no fucks.”
Person 2, “Noman, he's one of the chosen few; the straw hat is wearing him”

It is one of the oldest tricks in the book to make a purposeful misrepresentation of another person's position and then arguing against the fictitious position, knocking it down. It is the straw man rhetorical fallacy.
Man 1 sets up a weak position and attributes it to Man 2, then attacks the weak position; like setting up and fighting a straw man, easily knocking it down. Then the opponent, Man 2 is drawn into defending himself against the misrepresentations, and Man 1 doesn't have to talk about his opponents actual position.
Mary began lecturing John about the benefits of immigration for our country after John spoke in favor of building a wall along the border. But Mary was fighting a straw man because John is actually in favor of legal immigration; he just wants it done in an orderly manner so the drug cartels cannot easily cross the border undetected.

The illegal form of a straw that will definitely destroy the earth as opposed to carbon emissions and factory pollution. Don’t inform Starbucks that you’re using one.
David: Can I get a plastic straw?
Employee:
The group of people that want to put an end to using plastic straws. You'll need to use a paper straw for your margarita or soft drink that will go limp after a couple of sucks (just like Adolf did).
The Straw Nazi's will force you to use a paper straw for your margarita or soft drink that will go limp after a couple of sucks (just like Adolf did).
