Nanoaggression is a term used for commonplace verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities that are too subtle to qualify as a microaggression. Ranging from unintentional to nonexistent, these slightest of all slights subconsciously affect and are perpetrated by all peoples in all places. Differing from microaggressions, nanoaggressions are always delivered unconsciously and might possibly shine a spotlight on implicit biases. Nanoaggressions can only be detected by a highly sensitive third party observer due the nature of their imperceptibility.
Examples of nanoaggressions might include, but are not limited to, the following; smiling, not smiling, eye-contact, lack of eye-contact, listening, ignoring, greeting, overt shyness, contrived shyness, jogging, swimming with proper form, whistling a tune, hot sauce, a contrived preference for spicy food, Japanese curry, soups and stews, the wearing of pants, argyle, scarves, tennis shoes, tennis in general, coffee mugs, coffee in general, domestic travel, international travel, excessive reading, singing, waving, use of chairs, artwork in general, a preference for refined sugar, the drinking of light beers, the consumption of dairy products, the use of canvas.

I was at the supermarket the other day and this older woman let me cut in front of her because I only had a few items and her cart was full.
What sort of products were in her cart?
I don’t remember. Maybe food.
That sounds an awful lot like a nanoaggression.
I think you might be right maybe.

Unrequited love aimed at a charismatic member of the broadcast media. Increasingly attractive, cosmetically and often surgically enhanced screen readers, have been developed to foster feelings of puppy love in their audience. Brainwashing intensifies as the hypnotic bond strengthens. If you find yourself sporting a giddy smile when you see your news source, it’s time to turn the channel.
I just can’t find an unbiased news source. Where do you get all of your info?
I watch Tucker. He’s so right about everything and I love his eyes, and his nose, and hair, and tan. and ties.
That dude? Really? I think you’ve got a newscrush on him. Turn the channel.
How did you know who to vote for?
The love of my life told me, Rachel on channel 72.
You know her?
I don’t know her know her, but I know her, you know? Like when she's looking into my eyes and teaching me stuff...
Turn that channel. You got a newscrush.
