the tough guys are all doing it

1) the precursor to misery, toil and troubling endema on stock markets globally. to insight this remark is conjure econo-hell, stagflation and the livin' end on the world as we at that knew/know it.

it's a tough phrase but someone's gotta utter it.

woe betide the one who does, as it marks the makings of history in progress, a history for which while you alone weren't responsible, you know you alone can be called to account, but won't be and this is just something you'll have to cope you bastard with.

2) like anything really.

the tough guys: Sell! Sell! Seal! SELL! SELL!
you: *meekly* err... sell? the tough guys are all doing it
