First-Amendment shrug

Refers to where you resignedly accept someone else's weirdo-type interest, opinion, assertion, etc., knowing dat it's a necessary "normalcy wrinkle" dat "comes wif da turf" in da allowance of free speech which we all are entitled to, even it means occasionally rolling our eyes at a particular individual's off-da-wall appearance, practices, or beliefs.

Tomboy girl, beamingly showing off a huge bullfrog she's just caught: Look at his cute face and big googly eyes --- isn't he just GORGEOUS???
You (smiling tolerantly and giving a First-Amendment shrug): Well, I never really thought about it, honey, but if you're into frogs, then I suppose he's absolutely DAZZLING...!
