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.

"It can't be understated..."
― only built 4 lynx africa (Noel Emits), Tuesday, 12 October 2021 17:03 (four years ago)
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 (four years ago)
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 (four years ago)
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 (four years ago)
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?
― epistantophus, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 22:49 (four years ago)
Somewhat amazed this is not also a thing in the US!

It's annoyingly overused imo but what's buggin' Tracer Hand about it will have to wait I suppose.

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 (four years ago)
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.

taking sides: man cave vs she shed

She shed is so much worse.

Mancave only good as a pejorative, agree
