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?

In addition to us-foreign-policy , there is also an element of international-community-1international-community-2

Japanese and South Korean PMCs working abroad are also called "expats" rather than immigrants, while someone from, say, Indonesia or Thailand would be called an immigrant
