A phrase only used by Christians to people, generally other Christians, experiencing hardship. A statement implying action and assistance when in fact none will be forthcoming in any meaningful way. Represents vague promise to intercede with a magical being on the recipient's behalf. Used most often to end a conversation by the person saying it. Often ridiculed in social media as nonsense and hypocrisy, and misspoken as 'Thots and pears'.
I don't want to say 'you should have had your whole family vaccinated' at the funeral. I'll say 'thoughts and prayers' and then talk about the weather.

Okay, I'll send a Hallmark card I found in the bottom of my desk drawer.
Oh, my mother in law broke her leg? Well my thoughts and prayers are with her.
a word that's usually used when people don't give a sh*t, particularly the republican party when a school shooting happens AGAIN.
Media: "Oh no, 18 students just got shot and 4 killed at Oak Elementary! We have to have gun laws!" RP: "No we don't. Thoughts and prayers to all those in the shooting."
