The act of being caught red handed, especially for something sexually explicit. Derived from Chris Hansen of Dateline NBC's "How to Catch a Preadator." See dead to rights.

When somebody says something so stupid it's beyond repair. The act of being basic in the presences of a G.

When somebody says/does something so unbelievably dumb that they need to just sit down, shut up, and not do anything else; when the stupid is so strong that just one seat will not do. Also can be used as an expression of self-disapproval when one has an unbelievably dumb thought.

The command used by Chris Hansen, of Dateline NBC, before publicly humiliating and destroying would be child molestors on national television. No matter how much the child molestor wants to run, for reasons unknown to man, he cannot leave and always takes a seat.

If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu — the American political reality that proves REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!

Another version of this saying is “If you don’t have a seat at the table; then you are on the menu.” Meaning: there are a lot of people who are going to get rights, privileges, and tax cuts at the expense of front line workers and people living on the margins.

This is most easily seen in areas where both gerrymandering and redistricting are used to disenfranchise minority voters.

Another area where this is seen is in the backlash against a woman’s right to choose. As of September 9th 2023, the young women coming of age in my family have fewer reproductive and healthcare options than did the generation that crossed into womanhood ahead of them.

Representation Matters and if you don’t have a seat at the table you are on the menu; indeed, if you don’t have a seat at the table you ARE the menu!

If you don't have a seat at the table; you are on the menu. — A statement used in minority communities to reflect the reality that representation matters.
