Solid Mantis's definitions

Copy

To steal, to take.

Bach said he was there to study/copy/emulate his brother/friend/family's compositions, when really he was there to steal/take his enemy's work and claim it as his own. It wasn't a shot across his bow, it was breaching his hull then walking up behind him undetected, and stabbing him in the heart.

Goody two shoes

Someone who runs to their mother over shit they started ever since they were a little kid, since people don't change.

The goody two shoes looked like an angel in her mother's eyes only. She had a face only a mother could love (as her own father said of her when she was a young kid, in his words, and I quote).

Activist

The worst kind of pacifist, the kind that would kill to prove they're not weak.

The activist would slaughter people before letting them call him/her out on being weak.

Blue/gray divided family

A lot like a Hatfield/McCoy divided family, a blue/gray divided family isn't meant to be functional. As much as the more pretentious family members tend to hide the lack of civility for an everything's fine facade, a blue/gray divided family doesn't work out in the long run.

There was nobody left in the Hatfield/McCoy divided family after they all decided they would be the last family member standing, or every other family member was coming with them, which might have been for the best, as nobody would miss some of them. The blue/gray divided family next door snuck in surplus ammunition.

Heritage

Whether either group likes it or not, both Confederate statues and statues of civil rights leaders are part of the country's heritage. There is no replacing one with the other, and history is never erased, even if there's no evidence of it.

The country's heritage is fucked up, it's not a healthy, clean heritage that's best for everybody. Really it's always been bad for people, it's always been toxic.

Precocious

A guy or girl that hits puberty at 6.

Guy 1-Do you see that kid driving? That kid shouldn't be out on the road.
Guy 2-He has a mustache.
Guy 1- Don't you have to be 54 or 56 inches tall to drive though? His mother and father just let him drive like that.
Guy 2-He's a precocious kid, let him drive.

Wildfires

Thinking that nobody can extinguish wildfires and tell them to fuck themselves is cockiness/arrogance, ignorance, or both.

Wildfires don't burn forever even if it's not extinguished. Its pretentious to think that they will. Stomping your feet won't do anything to a fire that's still burning, anymore than it will do anything about injustice. The fire has to be extinguished before stomping on the embers does anything.
