"trash" in almost all contexts now

flappy bird, Saturday, 3 March 2018 05:19 (seven years ago)

p sure sapiosexual is latin for "superior person"

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:23 (seven years ago)

lol

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:24 (seven years ago)

I think the intended meaning is "I want to actually talk to people and connect and not just have sex" but half the people using it mean "I don't think people find me physically attractive, but I am deluded and think I have a sparkling intellect"

mh, Friday, 9 March 2018 21:27 (seven years ago)

I think the intended meaning is "I want to have sex with your brain and vocabulary."

omar little, Friday, 9 March 2018 21:30 (seven years ago)

I think that whatever the intended meaning, it's mostly a load of bullshit.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:34 (seven years ago)

I hate when films are advertised with:

"FROM THE GUYS WHO BROUGHT YOU..."

omar little, Friday, 9 March 2018 21:34 (seven years ago)

x-post Not to offend the saps out there, mind. I don't think that's a thing but it is now.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:35 (seven years ago)

it seems kind of like the "nerd" (in the post tech boom era sense) of the dating world

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:35 (seven years ago)

the actual meaning is "I think girls are vapid"

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:36 (seven years ago)

Also "mic drop" when it's used in a news story regarding some zing that owned someone til they died. Like I guess according to the Yahoo, Hillary just did a mic drop tweet on Trump that ended his life.

omar little, Friday, 9 March 2018 21:36 (seven years ago)

like gtfo, incredibly objectively physically attractive but non-brilliant person comes onto you and you say "sorry I'm a sapiosexual so I'm not attracted to you"?

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:36 (seven years ago)

"you wanna buy me a drink? First finish this NY Times Friday Crossword"

Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:37 (seven years ago)

always thought sapiosexual sounded like you really wanna get out there in the spring and "tap" some maple trees yknow

wait lol "your"

taking bets on whether his maximum age is 29

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Friday, 9 March 2018 21:53 (seven years ago)

Apparently he thinks it means 'desperate to have sex with anyone posessing a vagina and a dictionary'

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 10 March 2018 00:37 (seven years ago)

The use of sapiosexual to describe oneself, is not in any way limited to the makes of the species. I basically take it to mean this person is going to make a big show of demonstrating how clever they think they are. In other words, steer clear.

This probably belongs more in the IE thread, but conversations that revolve around someone showing off their knowledge of this or that subject make me feel deeply uncomfortable.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 10 March 2018 02:15 (seven years ago)

*males of the species

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 10 March 2018 02:15 (seven years ago)

counterpoint: girls who self-describe as such also think (other) girls are vapid

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Saturday, 10 March 2018 03:44 (seven years ago)

there are a handful of dating profiles I've run across where that's not the case and it's just a woman who is trying to communicate that she's tired of dudes dating her until they have sex and then ghosting :/

mh, Saturday, 10 March 2018 18:01 (seven years ago)

patrick swayze really oversold the tactic theres no doubt

I hate when films are advertised with:

"FROM THE GUYS WHO BROUGHT YOU..."

Especially since the 'guys' are usually the producers, not the creatives.

Hideous Lump, Saturday, 10 March 2018 22:33 (seven years ago)

Wow perfect time bc “creatives” is my #1 most hated phrase of the last ~3 years

flappy bird, Saturday, 10 March 2018 23:08 (seven years ago)

“Creatives” is the tech synonym for “artists” that no one asked for

flappy bird, Saturday, 10 March 2018 23:09 (seven years ago)

I think the "guys" part just feels like they don't want to be betas and say "producers" or "filmmakers" or "from the director of" or w/e.

omar little, Saturday, 10 March 2018 23:22 (seven years ago)

'score the basketball'

mookieproof, Sunday, 11 March 2018 01:10 (seven years ago)

at the end of the day, you have to score the basketball or take the L

^ my #1 most hated

Dan I., Monday, 12 March 2018 21:56 (seven years ago)

not worse than "the wife" though

Rhine Jive Click Bait (Hadrian VIII), Monday, 12 March 2018 21:59 (seven years ago)

"it's a brave new world"

thots and players (rip van wanko), Tuesday, 13 March 2018 00:06 (seven years ago)

thank god the wife never says hubby

the clodding of the american mind (darraghmac), Tuesday, 13 March 2018 00:19 (seven years ago)

Wow, I never realized how many people use good faith and bad faith until this board. But yeah those are both super annoying.

Yerac, Tuesday, 13 March 2018 11:32 (seven years ago)

I don't think I've used either until the past year but they're both better than "concern trolling" which irritates me to no end

mh, Tuesday, 13 March 2018 13:42 (seven years ago)

What about just “disingenuous”

There’s already a word for it

flappy bird, Tuesday, 13 March 2018 15:32 (seven years ago)

"concern trolling" only irritates me when it's used outside its actual meaning (which is all the time)

aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Tuesday, 13 March 2018 15:33 (seven years ago)

goddam that Sartre dude and his jargon

Finnegans woke (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 13 March 2018 15:34 (seven years ago)

I'm old and think half the problem is people who enjoy provoking reactions but have no actual stance or investment in anything they're saying
