Reductio Ad Absurdum

Reductio Ad Absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity") is a logical argument that refutes a statement by proving that the premise would lead to a logically absurd and ridiculous conclusion.

Another great phrase to use against flat-earthers and other conspiracy nutjobs alike.
Flat-earther: THE EARTH IS FLAT!!!!

Me, an intellectual: Oh yeah, then explain how nobody has ever fallen off the edge of the earth. Reductio Ad Absurdum.

Street Food

Food that is prepared and cooked by vendors on the streets. Some street food are awful and unsanitary, while others serve really amazing food. It really all depends on where you're from.

- If you live in a heavily populated country (e.g. China, India, Brazil) then most street food is low-grade stuff sold in -shoddy food carts by a scruffy-looking old man that you'd likely avoid. Of course there are exceptions.

- If you live in the middle-east, then you will experience some of the most authentic street food that's representative of the culture there.

- If you live elsewhere in the world, mainly first world countries, then you will love street food without a doubt. Here in Canada we have BeaverTails which sells fried dough pastries; they are seriously good. Many street food here are from food trucks, usually at a special event or carnival, and caters to the foodies. YMMV, but I love street food of any kind, even commonplace hot dog stands.

For the most part, street food is some pretty good stuff that you'd eat on rare/unique occasions.
Friend: Hey wanna check out that local event our city is having?

Friend: Yess
Me: Yo poggers, let's go then!

Me when

The most overused phrase that every meme tends to begin with. For example, "me when I stub my toe" or " me when my parents are sleeping" etc etc. My theory is this phrase is so unoriginal to the point that it's actually amusing. It's gotten so overused to the point that people are now using this phrase as a meme itself, in an ironic or knowingly absurd sort of way. It's often exaggerated by adding more "me when" to the end.

Proof that memes have gone downhill since 2017.
Nobody:

Literally every meme on this planet: "me when me when the when the..."

Kerala

First of all, please ignore the definition written by 'Frog.Man', obviously the dude was butthurt towards a Keralan when they wrote that brain-dead comment.

Anyhow.... Kerala is known for its stunning backwaters, beaches, hill stations, and rich cultural heritage. It's famous for its high literacy rate, progressive social policies, Ayurveda, and diverse cuisine. Often referred to as "God's Own Country" due to its natural beauty and serene environment.

This definition, as well as the ones written in 2004, still hold true as of today (November 2024). Nothing has changed much.
"Hey I just got back from Kerala. The beaches were amazing, and the food was so fresh! I think I could retire there one day haha."

"Dude, you should go to Kerala if you're into nature and want to chill for a bit. The vibe is so peaceful."

Erik Menendez

A guy who (along with his brother Lyle) committed homicide on his parents as a result of chronic sexual abuse and was defending for his life. Although it is tempting to label it as manslaughter, the planning was 100% deliberate and thus a first-degree homicide.

Has somehow managed to become the idol of every TikTok zoomer as of lately.
Boomers: Fuck Erik Menendez, filthy scumbag who killed his own parents!!!

Zoomers: I LITERALLY WANT TO FUCK ERIK MENENDEZ HE IS SO HOT OMG
