To be fair there are a lot of singers around today who sound like her
― Josefa, Thursday, 27 April 2017 23:29 (eight years ago)
my point (which i didn't explain, to be fair) is that any prominent woman who speaks her mind is labelled "feisty" 99% of the time

I feel like the only time I see "formidable" before "opponent" is "formidable woman" to describe someone who speaks above a whisper
― briscall stool chart (wins), Friday, 28 April 2017 06:50 (eight years ago)
not before "opponent", that is

Any mutation of the "Keep _______ Weird" concept. Like I hear people offhandedly calling places "weird" as a compliment, or saying that a city has "weird areas" by which they mean hipster gentrified neighborhoods.

Man you guys are on a roll
Last night I got called a groupie and I responded that calling me (us, 2 women) a groupie is insulting. He agreed and then later I asked for the wifi pwd for the bar and he called me milady :-/

as a citizen of Austin, where I believe that phrase originated, I sincerely apologize. It was meant to indicate support for local businesses, which I can get behind, but it is still very cringeworthy.

So we're using 'liberal' as a pejorative on ilx now. Cool.

feel like we should just keep bumping this thread until infinity's gif disappears below the fold but i actually do have a word which has been annoying me recently - the use of 'iconic' to describe even the most mundane things
feels like it's taking over from 'epic' as the internet wasteman's adjective of choice

I'm annoyed at the use of "prolific" as a synonym for great.

Must've just not noticed it before I guess, I tend to just scroll on through threads when they get shitstormy, I find that stuff tedious.

important sandwich update, from the new restaurant opening in the old location of ilx-famous-i-guess piratz tavern
The outdoor patio is named Sam’s Garden after his son (which also explains why the section of the menu listing burgers and such is labeled “Samwiches”).

"Samwiches" unegregiously fits in that context.
