Solid Mantis's definitions

Know it all

A walking dictionary. Somebody who either has to have 2 or more definitions per word for every one definition you type, or has to have a comeback example of the word, or another way it is used.

True Know it all- Peace is also an interjection Bart, you didn't know that because it wasn't on your list of uses of the word peace, and you were dead serious when you said it.
Bart-You're being kind of hard on me don't you think? I made a list of everything but interjection for peace, and it wasn't good enough for you know it all.

Triumph

When someone is bullshit, they will go to desperate extremes to push a popular cause. A story or movie about the triumph of a group of people anybody who is human would root for is something anybody could do, from a story about aboriginies to what if the Indians had triumphed in America. You try telling a story about the same thing, the triumph of a group of people, but change the setting to somewhere like Bosnia or Kosovo in the 90s, and you don't really know which group to root for. Disturbing is when someone who's bullshit gets people to root for them and they're never the bad guy or the good guy, they've got too many sides to play to be one kind of person.

A few people really dug the film about the triumph of the lost tribe, though some people knew that like any group of people they were no more or less human than anybody else, and therefore no more or less innocent than anybody else.

Playoffs

Going to the playoffs is nice, but it isnt everything.

Don't start the next season off crushed, finish the entire season before you go into the offseason, even if you dont make the playoffs.

Common sense

Even if you dont have a law degree, or a background in criminal justice, common sense tells you that it's unlikely somebody will still be breathing after their airway has been restricted for over 8 minutes. If you've been on a guys neck for a long time, you dont tend to forget his airway has been restricted by a lot of your body weight for a long time, especially not when he's reminding you by saying he can't breathe. 8 minutes is not 2 or 3 minutes, enough time has passed by 8 minutes that adrenaline has stabilized some, especially with an alleged suspect in handcuffs the entire time, and other officers there to assist you in keeping the alleged suspect restrained. The question you would think a family pressing for first degree murder would ask is not whether the death was intentional (since theres not really a way to unintentionally kneel on someone's neck for 8 minutes, 2 or 3 minutes or so might be unintentional if the alleged suspect still dies), but whether any of the actions of what came before the arrest were premeditated, such as the alleged counterfeiting call and what events lead up to the arrest.

First degree murder is premeditated, that's simple enough, not all murder is first degree. Running over an animal on the road is usually an example of unintentional death, it's an accident and usually accidents happen quickly (though there are people who would run one over and claim it was an accident, most of the time it is an accident). Spending 8 minutes taking a life isn't something you usually do by mistake though, that's all common sense.

Partner

No matter who you meet in life, or have love for, hopefully your partner is your husband or wife, and you don't ever need any other partner.

The guy's wife thought that a retarded guy she knew would never know like she knew that she already had a partner and did not need any other partner, so when she got tired of him trying to play with her hair, she talked to his friend George about it. A few days later George walked down into the woods with the guy, and walked out of the woods back into town alone.

Belarus

A country that isn't going to fully become a dictatorship even if some of the people in Belarus start begging to have their sporting events and public gatherings canceled.

Belarusians- Please, we have had too many rights and laughed about the coronavirus too long, now please take our social lives, we want to freak out over the coronavirus like everyone else, we want to take it beyond seriously like everyone else.

Belarusian leaders- We're not gonna do that, we're gonna keep everything more open than everybody else while they call us the dictators from their locked down, isolated countries. Try and laugh about that.

Belarusians- We're begging you, dont do this to us, please don't.

Emotional repression

Females know males never thought they were more emotional than males, its why they often try to tease males when they get emotional about something, and females do this often. Not displaying emotions is emotional repression, whether its males doing it, or whether its females doing it. Emotional repression is why some females try to come off as tough and badass as a defense mechanism to perceived (or real) bullying, and by being defensive, they're less likely to come off as the bully themselves.

The girl made herself look badass and tried to take away any males right to notice she was a fuckin mollycoddle, and thought that males should be less emotional, and with a little emotional repression, keep them living quietly.
