do as i say
a slang saying that got popularised when
Linus of
Linus Tech Tips YouTube Channel did a LInux challenge, where the team tried to use Desktop Linux as their operating system, the first video was released in November 2021, in which Linus chose
PopOS operating system, and there was a bug in the software center at that particular time, due to which 'steam' (the gaming software) had some conflicts with the desktop environment, due to which the installation was not being done through software center. Searching on internet, Linus resorted to command-line way, and the program warned that it may potentially damage the system, and to do proceed only if the user knows what they are doing. Linus, without reading anything, typed in the
prompt which required to enter "Do as I say" to proceed, leading to the monitor
going black and the system crashing.
Do as I say, not as I do

A phrase that literally means "I am a
hypocrite, but you should still
obey me." It is commonly used to mock someone (usually a politician, but can actually be anyone) displaying utter
hypocrisy of any kind.
Example:
California Governor
Gavin Newsom tries to mandate masks in the state. Later, he was seen sitting at a restaurant table with eleven people. Every single one of those eleven people --
Newsom included -- was NOT wearing a mask.
"Do as I say, not as I do" he said, effectively
sweeping it under the rug.

An expression used to call out hypocrites, including "environmentalists" with private
jets, politicians who send their children to
private schools while opposing measures to give other kids the same chance, or those who accuse others of racism while not hiring minorities.
Also the name of a 2005 book by Peter
Schweizer, subtitled "Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy."

A teacher or superior directing a student or
subordinate not to follow a
bad example they give, but to stick to the rules. Often used to imply
hypocrisy, but could also have legitimate reasons.
Example:
Do as I say, not as I do, the
congregation murmured, when the pastor
preached decency after half the village had observed him getting overly friendly with the innkeeper's wife.
Do as I say, not as I do, said the old sailor to the boy, letting go with both hands of the yardarm, instructing the younger to always
hold fast.

Saying: "***
DISCLAIMER***: i did not
actually bad thing This was a form of comedic expression where I say something outrageous that I actually didn't do, but say I did." Is a form of comedic expression where I say something outrageous that I actually didn't do, but say I did, then put a
disclaimer confirming that the outrageous thing I said I did was a joke, even if it was obvious it was a joke without the disclaimer
Example:
Person 1: I fucked my mom ***
DISCLAIMER***: i did not
actually bad thing This was a form of
comedic expression where I say something outrageous that I actually didn't do, but say I did.
Person 2: PFFT- WHY THE DISCLAIMER? 💀💀
