when you try to get into the png nightclub but you see the dotted rectangle surrounding the bouncer stretch him wider to block the entrance cus ur not on his clipboard

[memorycycle]

[colemckenzies]

you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it

example: you absolute coat hanger

[ggiornojo]

as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk

example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night

[colemckenzies]

#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled

[animatedamerican]

Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).

[nentuaby]

Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.

[animatedamerican]

… huh.  I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.

I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.

[thepioden]

Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.

“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”

who else is up permanently feeling like they did something Wrong

[trans-for-man-tion]

Is that man mansplaining

or are you misusing that phrase?

warning: i made this while annoyed and tired so feel free to correct it how you see fit

I have noticed a couple of people trying to use the word mansplaining to get trans men or trans masculine people to shut up about whatever topic it is they're discussing

and it made me realize that the word "mansplaining" has been bastardised into "a man that I dislike or disagree with talking about something"

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

I’m not defending the word “mansplaining” but this is critically (and ironically) missing the point of what it was clumsily coined to describe, which is that there is a pattern of men simply adopting the position of teachers when speaking to women. Even in the original essay—really a short anecdote—by Rebecca Solnit that inspired the term, the man she’s speaking to is chagrined when he realizes he’s explaining her own book to her.

“Does he know he’s dominating the conversation” “do you know more about the topic” “would he talk over you” this is irrelevant!!! Definitionally he does not realize what he’s doing; the whole point is that he has unconscious misogynist biases informing his worldview that lead him to instinctively assume comparative ignorance on the woman’s part. It’s the “I can’t operate, this is my son” joke writ large—a systemic bias that women’s ignorance and lack of authority can be safely assumed unless proven otherwise.
