To be fair there are a lot of singers around today who sound like her
― Josefa, Thursday, 27 April 2017 23:29 (nine 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

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.

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
