I think it's fairly new, but I'm not sure. I just know that my dad LOVES it.

"Rock star parking."

It's the thing parents always say when you get a parking spot near the entrance to the Walmart because they saw someone say it on American Chopper, and it's more annoying/awful than "butt hurt."

"speaking truth to power."

If you are a civil rights leader leading a protest against a racist institution, you can say you are speaking truth to power.

If you are, for example, a homeowner who is being fined by their HOA for your dead bushes, complaining about it on Facebook is not "speaking truth to power." 99% of people who say this are just pompous asses.

I think it's been mentioned but my skin crawls when I hear "rock star". "He's a rock star". Unless you are talking about an actual rock star, then no he isn't.
