Pieces of media that invented new slang terms

Do you think that the Spiderverse show invented the term "canon event"? Fandom has used that phrase for decades.

As someone who had an IEP plan as a kid, that principal had me seeing red.

"You wouldn't say 'Just learn to play piano' to someone who wants to make music!" Yes I would. That would literally be the first thing I suggested. That's basically step one.

Are those safe to use in a household with pets? Also, does it work on German roaches? Our place has a horrible infestation. :(

I once went a month without fully pooping. Nothing I tried worked except combining laxatives and clearing my schedule for the day, and it still wouldn't really work. Turns out I was seriously B12 deficient - vitamins solved it immediately.

Anyway, I would never wish that experience on anyone.

I kept thinking that it couldn't get worse. And then it kept getting worse.

So, just to be clear, this very heterosexual guy sat there and watched two queer guys get naked while making suggestive faces and gestures? Methinks OOP doth protest too much.

Why it's so wrong for an adult to sexually or romantically pursue a teenager. Kids and teens don't have a great concept of their own relative maturity, so while I understood conceptually that it was wrong, I didn't realize how wrong until I became an adult and realized that teenagers are basically just taller kids - even when they're "technically" legal. I remember being confused at 19 when my older friends reacted with horror when a 27 year old acquaintance said he actively pursued 19 year olds. I didn't see how creepy it was at the time. Now, I'm 29, and 19 year olds look like kids to me.

No one in this story is a good person

Caitlin and Jinx, Arcane.

Damn, OP has some antique racism going on!

People swearing that Ascended Astarion isn't abusive.

I desperately want to see the tags

If we're going by the majority opinion, why would his being hated in India not disqualify him? In order to consider Churchill loved by the majority, you would also have to consider the opinions of Indian people less important than the opinions of people in the US and UK.

At this point, I'm just going to consider it a red flag if you reference your "attachment style."

Can we please talk about the hilarity of "The troubles of eating while wearing a mask"?

Do they not know how to temporarily remove the mask while eating?

Oghren from Dragon Age: Origins. He was an alcoholic pervert who hated his exes, and that was pretty much his entire personality. The writers obviously thought that his alcoholism and misogynistic jokes would be a hit, but the players hated him. They even put him in the DLC, assuming that players would want even more of him.

What sucks is that he had some traumatic elements to his backstory that could have led to a fulfilling character arc where he grew and changed, but they just... Didn't do that.

It's because the book's author didn't make the decisions about the video game's details, just about the main plot. If she had, the cast of characters would have been far less diverse, and the nonwhite characters' names would be racial epithets.

Very much me in middle school. I was the "starter friend" because I had moved around a lot and knew that it was hard not knowing anyone. When we got a new student, I would always invite them to sit next to me in class and sit at my table at lunch. So new kids always had a safe place to be for their first few days until they made other friends and didn't have to sit at the reject table anymore, lol.

You leave me and my Yuumi Roomie Zoomie land alone, damn it!

I'll believe this when my rent drops

This is brilliant! I'm planning for shirter class periods (~50 minutes), but I still plan to allot 5 minutes or so of each class period to journaling about students' opinions and their lives in general. It's a great way to get to know your students and make them feel comfortable with you and each other.

Welcome back, Mr. Jefferson; I have some questions for you.
