Morning question

[hummingwolf]

grrwoo: have you ever noticed that "with extreme prejudice" is only used with violent terms
grrwoo: like killed with extreme prejudice
grrwoo: never with fun things
grrwoo: like "baked cookies with extreme prejudice."
me: hee
grrwoo: why is that?
me: people usually don't associate "extreme" or "prejudice" with good things.
grrwoo: Picking flowers with extreme prejudice!

A Google search for "cookies with extreme prejudice" did get one result, though that page is no longer available. The cached version says:

Neo says:
stealing biscuits with your a** is a lot of inconvenience compared to more conventional methods
Josiah says:
it can collect cookies with extreme prejudice

Right then. Anyway, have you ever used or heard anyone use the phrase "with extreme prejudice" in a fun context not involving violence? grrwoo and I want to know!


Edit: More uses of the phrase here. I like "Macerate with extreme prejudice" and "Masticate with extreme prejudice," but this is probably because I'm hungry.

"Pontificate with extreme prejudice"? I've known a lot of people who do that. Sometimes I'm one of them.

Chocolate with extreme prejudice!
