A bit harsh, but you like to mix your quality television with certain reality shows that affirms your place in that sweet club known as "sanity." Sure, you might be so-called "part of the problem," but you like what you like. If your peers can't get it, attack their attractiveness.

When to use it: When you're threatening you landlord about neglected repairs.

When to use it: When you're granted entry into a club, while everyone is still freezing outside.

The main purpose of fancy nightclubs is to remain elusively unavailable to 99.9% of people on a nightly basis, including the 99.9% of people who are re-wrapping their scarfs in sophisticated constellations to stave off disease on line. But every now and then, before people realize life is short and move on to a different venue, a couple guys and girls will get the princely wave in from the bouncer. If this is you, you have permission to mouth off a bit, and incur all the hate once you inevitably come right back out when you see the place is empty.

When to use it: When you're answering the question, "How was your weekend?"
