Guy 1-Do you see that kid driving? That kid shouldn't be out on the road.
Guy 2-He has a mustache.
Guy 1- Don't you have to be 54 or 56 inches tall to drive though? His mother and father just let him drive like that.

Goody two shoes

Someone who runs to their mother over shit they started ever since they were a little kid, since people don't change.

The goody two shoes looked like an angel in her mother's eyes only. She had a face only a mother could love (as her own father said of her when she was a young kid, in his words, and I quote).

Activist

The worst kind of pacifist, the kind that would kill to prove they're not weak.

The activist would slaughter people before letting them call him/her out on being weak.

Blue/gray divided family

A lot like a Hatfield/McCoy divided family, a blue/gray divided family isn't meant to be functional. As much as the more pretentious family members tend to hide the lack of civility for an everything's fine facade, a blue/gray divided family doesn't work out in the long run.

There was nobody left in the Hatfield/McCoy divided family after they all decided they would be the last family member standing, or every other family member was coming with them, which might have been for the best, as nobody would miss some of them. The blue/gray divided family next door snuck in surplus ammunition.

Unemployment

There's more people angered by the job loss and threat of loss of unemployment benefits than there are people scared of the thought of losing everything. These are people that lost their jobs not over performance or attendance, but for no reason other than a group of people made it their agenda to shut everything down.

Unemployment isn't scary, neither is losing everything. It's all the effort people put towards working and saving being turned into bullshit by the same people who want everything shut down.

Fair-weather friend

What most people you will meet in life are by nature. There's always something to do, a part of the world you haven't seen. There's one person who's not a fair-weather friend in your life, and that is you. There's only one person you need, there's only one you have to rely on. Yourself, everybody else needs to fuck off, period.

It's rare to find somebody who doesn't keep a few phony fair-weather friends around, but some people don't do it that way, they live how they want, they're here one time only, period.

Suburban

What you find outside of Chicago, New York (Long Island, parts of North Jersey for example) LA (Orange County for example) or South/Central Florida. A lot of these areas have been suburban since World War 2 or shortly after, and have a lot of what you find in a city, but with a lower concentration of it, and without as much variety. These areas haven't been rural in a long time, but they're also not urban areas. Many cities in the South would be closer to small towns in other parts of the country around World War 2 and in the years after, with some of the port cities being like mid size port cities up North, but don't have much in common with cities up North otherwise, they are different parts of the country.

A housing development built in a corn field in the middle of nowhere isn't really suburban, it's just land developers built houses on. Suburban is a mindset and a way of life, usually it goes with an area that has been suburban since many generations before your generation lived there, since you'd have to meet somebody 100 years of age or older to hear anything about what the area was like before it was the suburbs.
