The Likes of Which You've Never Seen
Definition
An all-purpose, highly dramatic modifier used to elevate completely ordinary, standard, or mediocre things into world-historical milestones. It preemptively shuts down any logical comparison to past (and objectively better) accomplishments, turning a passing cloud, a basic tax adjustment, an average-sized crowd, or a routine signature ceremony into an unprecedented miracle of modern civilization.
