Thank god
by YAWA on Sep 21, 2019 17:45:11
A reflexive, boarderline meaningless, phrase used almost exclusively in the context of personal
relief,
windfall, satisfaction or overall unexpected, positive outcome--despite the existence of obvious, more likely and far less
supernatural explanations.
Example:
>Oh, I just thank god that I survived my cancer...
radiation and chemotherapy? Aren't you thankful for THAT and the fuck-load of human support that came with it? Why don't you thank god for blessing you with cancer while you're at it?

Thank God for Mississippi
by koalaroo on May 20, 2008 05:14:17
Mississippi is stereotyped as being at the top of bad
categories (crime), and at the bottom of good categories (education). "Thank God for Mississippi" is often used in relief, because
statistically speaking, Mississippi will be worse off than your state.
Example:
When he got the new rankings of primary
education by state, the state
superintendent of education exclaimed "Thank God for Mississippi" in
relief.

Thank God it’s all over!

The long awaited joyful exclamation, the parallel sentiment to “Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead!” from
The Wizard of Oz,” that most sane folk will be feeling, as the
Extortionist in Chief is led out of the White House in shiny handcuffs and a handsome
straightjacket.
Thank God for small favors

An
ancestor of this phrase is "Thank heaven for small mercies". It's often used sarcastically to express
relief that an unpleasant person or situation is
avoided or gone.

It's what you say as a final retort to end an online debate when someone blocks you because they can't win in a contest of logic with you. Best said when someone accuses you of the various internet "maladies" such as "
special snowflake syndrome". Also best to be said when the opposing
debater characterizes that
malady which they accuse you of having after you attempt a dedicated, rational debate.
Example:
She honestly tried to convince me that donuts won't make
you fat, and I quoted a
reputable source to
contradict her, so she blocked me. Haha, Thank God For Block!

Thank God John Kerry Is Our President
by Ask Your Dad on Jul 27, 2006 11:01:41
An exclamation that United States citizens, living in an
alternate universe, would
cry out, every time they had a
glimpse of their alternate universe, in which George W. Bush is president.
