Billy: So, I visit this new social media website claiming to be all about free speech, and the next thing you know, I am reported for saying Trump Americans are better than others. What's wrong with them!?! Are they too weak to hear the truth!?! And, here's the kicker! I ask the admins why I was reported, and they respond; it's because I said something that hurt someone's feelings. What's wrong with them!?! Just deny the report and say it's because "We defend free speech!" It's that simple!
Jeff: Must be one of those Gen Y websites. This generation is completely befaggotted. Even if you say Hi to them, they get offended.
Carl: I went to this club Hooligans we used to dance at when we were in college.
Mark: Oh yeah!? Saw any hot chics there?
Carl: Not exactly. I saw a dude acting like other dudes were women. I don't know whatever happened to that club! It's become befaggotted!
Mark: Must be one of those stupid policies about welcoming everyone regardless of rape inclinations (aka "sexual orientations").

Get the BIFI mug.Dave: So, what do you think of React?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: OK, Golang?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: What about Node?
Tim: BIFI
Dave: Wow! Are there any technologies that are not BIFI by the estimation of software architects?!!
Tim: All technologies that fit a pro & con trade-off analysis! Unfortunately, none of the technologies you mentioned make the cut if a software architect were to put two and two together. Many wannabes these days don't even think about why they are applying a technology. They just monkey see monkey do!
Matthew: Tim, the software architect, told me that React is BIFI, but I don’t understand why?!!
Joe: React assumes a dumb audience to start, among many other reasons.
Matthew: Are you suggesting they assume I am dumb if I were to use React?
Joe: Exactly! For example, bidirectional (two-way) data-binding has been a staple in desktop application GUI development for decades, but React refuses to support it because they say most developers are too dumb to reason about it successfully.
Matthew: What’s wrong with that!? They’re making things more easy for us, no!?
Joe: I doubt any beginner would call React’s style of code easy, so I’m not sure they are anywhere near the target they claimed they were aiming at if that’s what you’re asking.
Matthew: Are you suggesting the makers of React themselves are dumb too?!!
Joe: Now, you’re truly getting to the bottom of why Tim used the term BIFI about them. React is literally By Idiots For Idiots!

Get the BIFI mug.As someone who's come from an upper middle class family, got rich in early 30's, lost all money over women and got poor in mid 30's, got rich again briefly afterwards, got very poor again afterwards living in a shelter, and then finally got rich yet again... I can attest that every time I got back up, I pulled myself up by my bootstraps. It was a very effective technique. I recommend it!
Joe: Mom, they fired me from the job! Said I can't code for shit!
Mom: Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps son! Life is tough, but you gotta be tougher and beat it!

Get the Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps mug.Tommy: So, this Hacker News website looks like it's from the 80's. Yes, I mean from before the Internet was born.
Jonathan: That's because it was created by Indians. It's as ugly as Bollywood movies, what else did you expect?

Get the Hacker News mug.An unvacation is a nice trip that you take to pamper yourself or to enjoy some activity while still working full time or part time.
It is especially applicable to people who have the job flexibility of remote work.
For example, a person taking an unvacation to Cancun might decide to work full time during the day and party every evening, or otherwise work evenings and go to the beach during the day.

Get the Unvacation mug.A squeakfest is pretty much any social media website where all people squeak constantly non-stop about unimportant stuff while getting too emo about it.
Big obvious squeakfests are Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook to name a few.

Tom: Twitter claims to be a diverse all-inclusive website, but everyone on it is an emo squeaker. I don't get what's diverse about that when everyone on it is just squeaking non-stop. Point to me one Twitter account of someone who is not a squeaker!
David: I cannot! I'd have to go on Twitter squeaking to do so. I'm not a squeaker either, so no dice! Twitter is definitely a squeakfest!
