I am just gonna come right out and say it: I better not hear anyone say something like, "If [such and such does/doesn't happen], the hurricane has already won."
To wit, "If I don't get my meal within five minutes, the hurricane has already won." Possible variations of what I better never hear anyone say include phrases like, "What do you mean you won't vote/go to school/get a job? That's just what the hurricane wanted!"
