I’ll start: “Shoving x down our throats”
the amount of people who have told me i’m one of the good ones because “at least you don’t shove gayness down our throats,” or “i’m fine with it if they dont shove it down our throats” has made me cringe whenever i hear that phrase used in any context, even harmlessly. how about you guys?
Expat emphasises where they came from (wealthy, ‘first world’) rather than where they’ve moved to. It’s a way of keeping themselves seperate and unsullied with oblique reference to where they previously lived.
