I heard a radio spot encouraging people to come out to Modesto, one of the more dismal towns in California, to see the almond blossoms in bloom... and I think they used this term. Or at least implied it.

(I guess all blossoms are in bloom, right?)

Modesto is a pit, tho almond blossoms are lovely.

An orchard selfie could cost you $1,000, Solano County Sheriff says
If you're on private property without permission, it doesn't matter how cool your photo is because you're trespassing.
"As alluring and as picturesque as an almond orchard in bloom may be to a dedicated selfie seeker, farmers in Solano County are asking ALL visitors and community members to 'PLEASE' respect their property when they’re trying to snap that perfect shot," the sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook.
Deputy Currie reminds those interested in taking those perfect social media photos that they're not only trespassing, they're encouraging others to trespass by creating beautiful images they'll want to copy...

I saw a review blurb that described the Many Saints of Newark as "Positively Cinematic!" That's an awfully low bar for a movie.

Relatedly, I've always hated when people say "it was like something out of a movie." Movies can be about literally any-fucking-thing. Many of them are based on real life.

"populous" for "populace" really makes my skin crawl.

Also "lawmaker". We had a perfectly good word for that already.

Of course "can't be overstated" is also more often than not not literally true but hyperbole is the point. Can't be understated just sounds like you're telling me not to.

What’s a man flu?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 27 October 2021 22:23 (two years ago) link
the idea that men suffer more than women from colds and flu, the angle being "they're more whiny than women who just tough it out" but also sometimes "men feel viruses more intensely than women because [insert science here] so we should bring them lumberjack soup and various man sprays"
― Jaime Pressly and America (f. hazel), Wednesday, 27 October 2021 22:32 (two years ago) link
A cold. men supposedly exagerrate their maladies so what we/they say is flu is actually just a cold, hence the mocking term 'man flu'.

wait I want lumberjack soup, I think I'm coming down with something
― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 22:39 (two years ago) link
Never thought this was a thing- but whenever I would get a head cold or sinus infection, I would make the spiciest broth/soup I could, with hot sauce, Tabasco, you name it, the hotter the better. And that would help. Maybe that was lumberjack soup?

My old roommate would get sick for a day or two every time she had a new sexual partner and called it penis flu but I imagine man flu is something different.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 28 October 2021 21:34 (two years ago) link
The only usage of "man flu" I'm familiar has been from exasperated partners, and is usually accompanied by an eye-roll and/or sigh of resignation.

I think mancave (one word) is useful as a pejorative.
