[Ads-l] piss on a rock; solutionizeify

[Jonathan Lighter]

Roger Stone on CNN:

"This indictment is thin as piss on a rock."

Cf. "rain like a cow pissing on a flat rock" (from WW2 at least).

Anand Giridharadas in Time (Feb. 4-11, 2019), 77:

"Hearing this, you may be tempted to do what your type loves to do:
solutionizeify."

'Pretend to seek or offer a solution; offer a supposed solution that is
inadequate or self-serving.'
