“Not beating the ___ allegations” is such a ‘now’ turn of phrase, implying as it does a world where everyone’s behavior is always on literal trial by a guilt-presuming judge and jury that consists of anyone who happens to be paying attention.

Not beating the panopticon allegations

There’s a grain of truth in that, but I like the goofier interpretation that suggests you were… just, facing allegations of whatever you were doing.

“not beating the ___ allegations” only works if ___ was funny to begin with. “not beating the being short allegations” about that beloved mutual you don’t the size of. this sort of thing. “not beating the loved and cared about allegations” is a fun way of saying “I keep telling you, and it’s true”
