Get the 😫 mug.A succinct phrase that unfortunately has to be used whenever a person, despite already doing the best you can to make your point clear, has misinterpreted your point.
Using this phrase is almost essential nowadays when you try to express your opinion on the internet.

Internet user 1: So what you're saying is that people aren't allowed to have personal opinions?
Internet user 2: I ask for you to make an effort to understand me. I am not saying that people's right to freedom of speech should be taken away, but rather that free speech should have limits. Hate speech crosses that limit.

Get the Yahoo Switcharoo mug.The mere fact of calling a person by their old firstname when they've already legally changed names.
"Hey Wenfei"
"Ew stop calling me that. I recently changed my name to Joseph, remember?"
"Oh, right... sorry forgot."
"It's okay. I just hate my old name, it sounds so stupid and weird. I feel more like a Joseph, y'know."

Get the Deadnaming mug.The person below is an absolute idiot and doesn't know what they're talking about. LG produced some of the best Android phones and were hella underrated. They never settled for mediocrity, their phones always included the best and latest tech. They were the first ones to up the display resolution on smartphones from Full HD (1080p) to Quad HD (1440p). They had some of the best cameras on a smartphone. They still kept the headphone jack despite Apple and other companies removing them. They were also generally innovative and tried out new ideas, unlike Apple.
And if you still must insist that LG phones are shit, well then good news for you because they officially stopped making smartphones in April 2021.
RIP LG phones 2009-2021, the world hardly even knew or appreciated ya.

Wee Todd: LG phones are shit.
Me: How so?
Wee Todd: Their emojis look ugly
Me: ....that's it? That's your reason? You're a special kind of stupid aren't you.

Get the LG phone mug.Reddit is a popular social commentary website that houses the largest hive mind (collective conscience) on the internet.
The said hive-mind often loves to find the tiniest bits of "hidden meanings" in people's opinions and use it against them, regardless whether those implications were intentional or not. It is essentially an act of guessing what the opinion giver failed to admit (as if they had any) and calling them out on it.
Most of the time, the hive-mind's guessing game turns out to be plain wrong and the opinion giver is left in a state of astonishment and resentment, as they obviously didn't mean to imply whatever the hive-mind claims they were implying.
This often results in the OP (original poster) to give a grudged reply to the Redditor, clarifying that this is not what they meant to say. If such a reply is disdainful enough, it will warrant more Redditors to come in and defend the hive-mind with more ridiculous accusations (e.g. "you're just trying to cover up that...", "you're failing to see...", etc.). And the hive-mind will do this until the OP gives up from all the downvotes.
While such an interrogative 'tactic' is useful in places such as academic critiquing and obviously police interrogation, on a social commentary website, it is practically useless and quite frankly infuriating. It is doing nothing but gaslighting the opinion giver.

Example of the Reddit hive-mind in action #1:
OP: Can weed make you as intoxicated as alcohol?
Redditor 1: No, and why do you ask? Please don't tell me you're going to use weed as a date rape drug...
OP: Ummm... what? No, why would you even assume that that was my intention?
Redditor 2: Because the way you phrased it seemed like you were asking to use it on somebody.
OP: *feeling astonished* I-I literally was never even aware of the way I phrased it.....
Redditor 3: Well now you're aware.
OP: .....I'm sorry? What did I even do wrong?? I was literally just curious, jeez people.
Example of the Reddit hive-mind in action #2:
OP: I think that every topic can be joked about, within reason.
Redditor 1: Soooo basically you don't think every topic can be joked about....
OP: What.... well I mean yeah I guess if you put it that way, but that wasn't really my point. Obviously some jokes can't be taken to the extreme.
Redditor 2: But that means you're implying that people can't freely express what they might think is funny. You have no right to control someone else's thoughts or humor.
OP: You know what? Just shut the fuck up. I'm sick and tired of the Reddit hive-mind.

Get the Reddit hive-mind mug.Everyone knows what anime is by now.
But it's arguably also one of the most basic examples of "cultural capital" (the sociological concept), especially and particularly for kids and teens at school.
If you're not a jock, preppy or just an all-round popular kid, then having some basic knowledge about anime is one of the most indispensable forms of cultural capital any kid could have in order to fit in. This is considerably more true today, as the antiquated stereotype that "anime is uncool/is for nerds/etc." is slowly waning.
And let me tell you, as someone who unfortunately lacked any knowledge of anime starting from 6th grade, I had trouble conversing with most of my (non-jock) classmates. This resulted in two unpleasant outcomes for me: be a loner or mingle with the rowdy jock kids. But that was 13 years ago. I would think most if not all kids today watch anime, since cable TV is a thing of the past.

Just like how an iPhone is worth a lot of money, being up-to-date with anime and weeb culture is worth a lot of cultural capital.
