Solid Mantis's definitions

Mouthy

Talking all the shit you can't stomach, rather than really speaking your honest thoughts, feelings, or opinions on something.

The mouthy girl couldnt bite her tongue or hold it in her stomach any more, she didnt want to get called weak for the rest of her life, the way she had been called weak her whole life to that point, so she said some bullshit that seemed like what somebody speaking their mind would say, even though it wasnt close to what she really thought or felt. That way it was always the other person/people that were heartless and cold.

Sports

Nowadays, with people who focus on just breaking records or mindless stats, the focus on why people came up with sports in the first place is lost. A group of kids with no pads and no formal rules getting together to play sports in a neighborhood is less likely to end up with any serious injuries than in pro sports, especially when kids know they're going to see each other again on a regular basis, in case the kid with the chip on his/her shoulder is thinking about breaking some bones and taking another kid out for an extended time, or in case another kid is thinking about hiding out for an extended time over an overextended ankle or sore thumb.

People who want people to focus on mindless stats or broken records are missing the point of why there are sports in the first place. Superheroes don't exist, so the point of sports is not to become one.

Poser

Someone who starts claiming to be tough around the edges at some point as an adult, though it's not who he/she is or was as a kid.

The poser kept posing as somebody with a rough edge, even though giving intel (or counter intel) to teacher's and authority figures, and other shit that he/she did as a spy kid was closer to his/her own definition of smooth, always evading trouble for himself/herself while getting everyone else in trouble. Really, the poser's rough edge image was created as a defense to keep people from messing with him/her like they did when he/she was a kid.

Athletic sex life

What a track athlete and cheerleader would have, which is weird to imagine.

Track athlete-Cheer me on while I jump you baby.

Cheerleader- I hate it when you jump me, I'm not a hurdle. Gooooooo, fuck yourself tonight, I'm not in the mood, woooooooo!

Track athlete- I thought I was gonna get a trophy or a ring for my athletic sex life.

Disturbing

Waiting until someone has been dead and gone for a long time to say something about them you could have said while they were alive is disturbing.

He/she had to be chicken shit to say somebody was disturbing to be around years after they died. Its disturbing that there are people who wait until somebody's not around to talk about how they were to be around.

Low set thumbs

More people listen to people with low set thumbs, because they are considered more courageous and give compliments to females.

Guy- I wanted to keep my thumbs low a little bit longer, but I didnt feel like being brave or complimentary today.
Guy with low set thumbs- You lazy fucking coward piece of shit, lower your thumbs before I break them.

History

Something that doesn't need to be torn down or replaced. As long as people are (mis)led to believe that out with the old, in with the new is really in their best interest and not in the financial interest of some developer from another town or state, they will keep falling in line with the agenda of these folks and never taking a stand against their agenda. It's a good way to lose any history that people came to love about a place, in favor of building a new order and a new agenda of peole that don't really give a fuck about them or anything but dollar signs.

History isn't removed or replaced by something new, it's really an attempt by some people or groups to show that somebody new is in charge here now.
