I always get the thin shits when politicians cap their speeches with the phrase "God bless you all... and God bless America," because it's such kneejerk autotext, one compromised, favor-granting, half-truth-spouting sonofabitch trying to out-holy and out-flag the other.

JeanSC commented on the word out-flag
"Out-flag" means to register a ship in a country other than where the ownership really is; done to take advantage of more lax regulations in the country of registration. Words derived from this are "out-flagging" and "out-flagged." I created this term by analogy with "out-source" which is a well-known term for companies in one country having work done in another country to take advantage of factors like lower wages and more lax regulations. "Out-flag" is the maritime equivalent.
