WORD FOR MATURE BADASS : WET-BLANKET
Wet-blanket
If someone calls you a wet-blanket, they are probably older than, say, any Kardashian sibling and not very nice. A wet-blanket—named for the very thing that one might smother a flame with—is usually concerned with decorum or consequences when others are not, and they may put a damper on the party.It was used frequently in the 1800s as a verb: “She would often wet-blanket her friend’s proposals to swim au naturel.” Not to be confused with a wet-sock, which is even crueler, as it means someone who is pretty useless and who may not even be invited to the party in the first place.
Do you have an agreement or something special to say, I love and cherish to hear from you?
