I wonder if "I resonate with x" has become more popular recently because of analogous constructions like "I vibe with x" and "I fuck with x."

Americans often use the vile ‘sammiches’, so nobody is covering themselves in glory here.
Or more often sammies — which tbh of all of these I don't mind.

Both the sandwich infantilism and the resonating are usages I have come to accept but I still don’t like and never say … and have to consciously avoid having a negative facial expression in response

I used to really hate the term “apps” to refer to appetizers, but I have come to accept it. I still reflexively think of the scene in “The Thick of It” where the Tory minister has to say “I call app Britain” and his obvious annoyance at it

imo, the creation and use of diminutives should remain in the exclusive domain of Australians. Doesn’t feel right any other way. Get your own culture, ya know?

xps gif notwithstanding, no Aussie would call them fckn “sandos” unless trying to pretend their cafe is a konbini. For starters it would cause massive confusion with the Sandringham Hotel in Melbourne. Which IS the Sando.

xposts - when I was in HS I worked at a clothing shop with an older girl who liked to tell me about her hookups. She was from somewhere in New England where subs are called grinders but I had never heard that before so was v v confused when she described someone as having a d like a grindah. Only figured it out years later when I moved to Boston.

But her rant backfired when she was deluged with criticism. She has now turned the comments off underneath the Instagram video.

one of my writer friends lamented that he had to add an explainer to a sports-theme comic she had written because nobody remembered the original meaning of "goat" in sports, meaning the person who fucked up and is ostracized for their mistake, so people who read it kept asking why Garo Yepremian was the greatest of all time for throwing an interception that lead to another team's touchdown.
― Iacocca Cola (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 28 May 2024 19:43 (five days ago) link
Garo kind of exemplifies both meanings of goat. One kind when he “threw” (being generous) that interception but on the positive side he was a crucial piece of a GOAT team, and markedly ahead of his time as an early soccer-style kicker.
― Josefa, Tuesday, 28 May 2024 20:55 (five days ago) link
Having said that, I don’t like the new meaning of GOAT either, it’s just obnoxious. I think Muhammad Ali popularized the phrase in the ‘70s but it was more humorous the way he utilized it.

the worst though is calling someone "a" goat; similar to how the word unique can't be modified, you can only be "the" goat in a particular field, by definition. but does that stop these basic motherfuckers no

the other thing is that sports GOAT arguments are really boring especially since you're often comparing guys who played in totally different eras since a totally different set of players. you can just say whatever you want.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 29 May 2024 15:09 (four days ago) link
yeah during football season FB kept suggesting these groups where people were basically taking two players, posting their stat sheet from this stat app that allows side by side comparisons, and writing SEE, XXX IS BETTER...
and one guy would be a QB from the 80s and the other would be like, Josh Allen.

The problem with Dalmatians is that many are born deaf or blind or both because the gene pool is kind of shallow.
