My only friend who calls me ‘lovely’ is v. middle-class, gay and from Plymouth so I’ll allow it.

North Eastern version...

i think the attempt to attach a class marker to "lovely" is p strained tbh

West Country lovelying seems to happen regardless of class background!

Braw >>>> Lovely

Peng >>>>> Braw

"tarmac" "TARMAC MEETING"

"unmasking"

"we live in a republic, not a democracy"

"if you love something let it go"

"All the feels"

"i did a thing"

Good work there guys.

i like lovely :(

"trash" in almost all contexts now

p sure sapiosexual is latin for "superior person"

lol

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"

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

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

I hate when films are advertised with:

"FROM THE GUYS WHO BROUGHT YOU..."

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

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

the actual meaning is "I think girls are vapid"

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.

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"?

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

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

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

wait lol "your"

taking bets on whether his maximum age is 29

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

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.

*males of the species

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

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 :/

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.

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

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

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.

'score the basketball'

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

hubby

^ my #1 most hated

not worse than "the wife" though

"it's a brave new world"

thank god the wife never says hubby
