For me it’s saying, “we can’t joke about anything anymore”. Sirens go off immediately 🚨
“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”
it helps if you read females like tamales.
Oh man, that’s gonna stick in my brain. Great, thanks.
I’m forced to read “spectacles” like a Greek because of a post like this.
Oooh, my testicles sound so much fancier now!
And how did they get dusted with glitter?!
Hey, I always do that when it’s used as a noun!
Where’d you get that bag?
Oh, it’s a shemale
This one has bitten me in the ass. Male and female are incredibly common terms in the medical community, but I try to limit my use of female to work only, if at all. On the plus side, I’ve learned I rarely need to use it at work. It literally only matters if we’re doing a deep dive into what’s potentially going on and need to branch out to figure it out
Although with the distinction between gender and sex continually becoming more prevalent in the zeitgeist, I find myself using the terms “male” and “female” more often than I used to.
Non-native speakers in shambles. On the other hand, even males are not safe from us

“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.
Fits pretty neatly with the word “humble” - it should only be said externally.
“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.
“I’m not political” almost always really means “I think Hitler did nothing wrong”
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.
“I want to eat the people from the surface.”
I asked chat gpt…
I treat this one with a grain of salt, because its very good at some things and utterly fucking useless at others.
I needed to know what company made the gearbox in a certain car. No matter what I searched in 3 different search engines all I could find was people wanting to sell me stuff for the gearbox or gearboxes. I spent an hour before I asked ChatGPT and it immediately spat out “The gearbox is a 4l80 produced by Aisin transmissions” which I then spent some time verifying. At the core if search engines hadnt been enshitified, ChatGPT would be nothing more than a novelty. But because they have, its a sometimes useful tool that anyone with half a brain verifies.
If you treat it like gospel, yeah… your an idiot.
That’s the thing though. If someone has used chat gpt to find information and then spent the time to verify it independently, they rarely, if ever, start a sentence with “I asked chat gpt…”.
The ones that say that usually just stop at the first response they get from it. Even if what they say ends up being correct, you now know that they’re the kind of person that’ll blindly believe an LLM.
yes!! I was setting up Lyrion Music Server and I’m kind of an idiot, so when I had a specific question about that I asked a clunker. There’s very little documentation or discussion about it (weirdly, it’s awesome) so it was extremely helpful. But yeah for the most part I don’t use it.
Ever thought of checking the factory service manual or prodemmand or all data? It’s not hard to find this sort of info…
I think a big problem is the info is out there, but they are awful at search. They still think Google is good. In today’s world you need 3 different search engines and also asking folks in the fediverse helps a lot if my issues.
But people want to go to the orphan crushing machine bot to ask it questions, because its easier.
We never needed llm slop for this. We needed a non corporate greed driven search and educated populace (now THERES a good joke!!)
I usually let this one slide. It’s the “I asked grok” folks i go full send on
“There are things I like about both sides.”
I have a friend who says this and every time I’m like “when did anyone on the left do anything close to as bad as ____” (DOJ lying constantly, trump saying officials who oppose him should be executed, etc) and every time he says “well if they’re doing that that’s pretty messed up but the left does bad stuff too.”
Guys who refer to women as “females”
ninja edit - I see I’m late to this party
I would say it depends on the context.
Edit: This has been covered elsewhere as well.
“Cry more 🤣🤣🤣”.
My man, you might have just hurt my feelings for no good reason, why are you so happy about it?! I’ve only seen it in YT comments, TBF, so they might all just be bots. Hopefully.
lol cry more nerd
It’s not really a phrase but anytime someone half quotes something and responds like the 2nd half of the quote doesn’t exist.
The first and easiest is always the
phofaux-militaristic active wear. Its like adidas trainers on a guy squatting. When you know you know. If its an aiport, their bag has just an abusurd number of places to velcro things and a place to put a fake unit patch. Also, chuds mostly travel in packs, so the probability of them actually being a chud increases at a rate of 1- e-1/N chuds per unit area.See also lifted yota’s tacomas with a bunch tac gear, and a big-ol’ floor jack the think they need to carry around., none of which has ever been used, see also the F-350, and of course, the all-to-obvious “one dude in a cyber truck”.
Hey! I’ve been wearing camo and pseudo-tactical shit on the daily since long before it became fashionable. It used to be back in the good old days that military surplus gear was the cheap way for broke motherfuckers to get vaguely performant and moreover highly durable outdoor wear, plus it’s always full of pockets. Bonus points if you were also some kind of airsoft/paintball nerd.
So many pockets.
I miss my combat pants. They were comfy by the time I had to give them back, and they had so many pockets.
There’s an excellent podcast about fashion history and design called Articles of Interest by Avery Trufelman, and she did a season about the deep connections between outdoor wear and military clothing, with a lot of talk about surplus. I recommend it highly!
That was indeed fascinating. Thanks for sharing it!
You betcha!
I saw a guy with a military style duffle bag the other day, but it had the words “emotional baggage” on the side of it, and honestly, that passes the vibe check.

i actually saw a guy with someone else in their cybertruck the other day, first time for everything i guess
Maybe they were being trafficked. Did you call it in?
Anyone who uses ‘woke’ unironically
“Tucker Carlson has some good ideas”
the fuck you just say?
Hot take: he does have some good ideas. Like releasing the unredacted Epstein files, and not wasting more money on Israel
that is true. also due to your username, i love you and you are my best friend now
Any time anyone starts throwing insults and slurs at me like a Frisbee in lieu of an actual counterarguement
Hey bozo, it’s spelled “counterargument” you absolute fleshbag! 🥏
It’s probably because your dumb!!1!
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!
“Have a blessed day”
Haha boomer conservatives love this one
Ngl I have a coworker who says this whenever he leaves his shift and he’s such a good dude I believe whole heartedly that he wants me to have a good day.
Faur enough. Some outliers are expected
This is a religious thing in general, in my experience. Mostly older people, but not guaranteed, and not necessarily conservatives, either. Just people very deep into religion.
They also like “…well, I’ll be dead by then so…” shurgs
“Hopefully sooner”
It is a fun one to drop ironically, though.
