"Centrist". Actually all political labels. Especially "third way" as it is used by those fools in the Democratic party.

"the take home message is ..."

I was doing work for AAPT and was configuring some software that used an SMS gateway to send a message to subscribers, and the message they'd supplied me contained that expression. I pointed out what seemed to be an obvious typo and I was scorned for not being au fait with their bullshit advertising campaign!

You can just go and get fucked!

made-up compound insult words like asshat, fucktard, cockwomble, etc
