Ooh I love "not right." Covers a lot of ground, people can fill in the blanks on their own fears or prejudices.
One of the Bulwark commenters was absolutely hilarious about JD Vance drinking DIET Mountain Dew. Something about "Only ladies drink diet soda, or people with something wrong with them."
It was deliberately/sarcastically/tongue-in-cheek sexist and homophobic, and such a good burn on Vance. "Not right" is even better. "That boy's not right," a la King of the Hill.
