Applying the concept of 'trolling' to tall poppy syndrome Thanks for your perspective Bill. Your wisdom and experience is shown. The question makes some cultural assumptions. I'm going to clarify the question to make those cultural assumptions clearer. |

What's the phrase for things that get better with age? My humble apologies @FumbleFingers - I meant to say "things that do get and have gotten better" which the answers reflect. I'm happy with the answers that have come through. I was hoping there would be a single word for 'potential for nostalgia' - but it looks like that is coming up short. |

What's the phrase for things that get better with age? :) Thanks guys - I think the person I quoted that from was wishing for the better days of TNG over JJ Abrams. In my view that's not a valid claim, the old TNG episodes just seem better. I personally think the JJ Abrams movie is very good, and SW Ep1 very bad. |

Phrase choice - phrase to describe exodus of meaningful celebrities from Australia I found another one on wikipedia: Cultural Cringe: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_cringe "Cultural cringe, in cultural studies and social anthropology, is an internalized inferiority complex which causes people in a country to dismiss their own culture as inferior to the cultures of other countries. It is closely related, although not identical, to the concept of colonial mentality, and is often linked with the display of anti-intellectual attitudes towards thinkers, scientists and artists who originate from a colonial or post-colonial nation." |
