For me it’s saying, “we can’t joke about anything anymore”. Sirens go off immediately 🚨

    It’s not really a phrase but anytime someone half quotes something and responds like the 2nd half of the quote doesn’t exist.

          TBF nobody does the 2 party system quite as 2 party as the Americans. At first I was inclined to agree with you and disagree with OP, but the more I think about Canadian politics the less enlightened centrism I see… Just conservative doofuses who view the world through tik tok.

      I view it as the right wing equivalent of a soyjak. A derogatory name (and drawing) for someone who’s terminally online and politically obsessed.

        Now see I did not know it was right wing and now I apparently know what a soyjak is even though its the first time I have seen this. Kinda funny that anyone moving in social media circles has a name for folks who are online all the time and politically obsessed and are not themselves. Its feels like one of those things in a cartoon where the clearly nerdy character is yelling nerd at a nerdier character.

        well I mean some you can sus out from context and I sorta used that word intentionally because from context I used it like I did above to figure something out but I also have seen it used to mean something is suspect. chud though I have generally just seen it thrown out as some degrogatory noun which is really hard to figure out in context .

    Anytime anybody tells you “I don’t do drama”, 99% of the time they are the cause of all the drama.

    Actually chill people pretty much never bring it up.

        No and see that’s the funny thing. I’ve had people try to call me stupid or the r slur, but like, they couldn’t even be bothered to spell “you are” you’re correctly. That always makes me laugh, because oh the irony!

      my favorite is they append the insult as conclusion. they make an argument and claim ‘and if you can’t understand this you’re a dipshit’. and this is their ‘flawless logic’ that shows that you are a dipshit, but definition of the argument they have made…

    “I tell it like it is” Proceeds to be bizzarly racist/ sexist/ homophobic and then gets offended at everyone when they tell them to knock it off.

    “Female” instead of woman or girl.

    Edit: as in, where “woman” or “girl” would be grammatically correct. e.g. “a lot of females work at that company” vs “a lot of women work at that company” or “that company has a lot of female employees”

    “I’m a patriot!”

    Okay so, 1) I wasn’t questioning your patriotism until you said that. And 2) with zero exceptions, everyone I’ve ever heard say that turned out to be a Christian nationalist.

      I think “patriot” is one of those titles that should only be given, and that ideally happens to someone who’s done something especially heroic or monumental for their country. I think of myself as patriotic, because I care a lot about my country despite its enormous, gangrenous flaws. I want to help it realize its potential. But to say “I’m a patriot” these days – I agree with you – really only connotes blind nationalism.

      One time I said “oh I don’t get involved in politics” by which I meant, “I don’t organize with any particular party” (which was the context). But I think about that all the time and hope they did not think what I always think when people say they are apolitical.

      I’m very political, I just generally prefer non-partisan work.

      This one can be fun to mess with, just taking it to a completely arbitrary place.

      ‘I’m not a racist but I had a salad for lunch yesterday.”

      “I’m not a racist but at some time later this week I need to take my car in for an oil change.”

      “I’m not a racist, but I think Family Guy used to be a lot funnier than it has been recently.”

      We used to joke like this because it was such a dead giveaway that someone was racist. We started saying things like “I’m not racist but the weather is fantastic today!” Or “I’m not sexist, but do you think it’s gonna rain?”
