Intelligence signalling

To broadcast or telegraph that you are more intelligent than you actually are by attempting to educate people and provide unsolicited advice under the guise of helping them.

Includes an element of virtue signalling as the goal is both to dominate by making yourself appear smarter and more virtuous in juxtaposition to the receiver or audience.

The intention (as well as virtue-signalling 'helpful' advice) is to self-level-up and often to make it seem like you have more knowledge in a given field. Since you often target someone more specialized or experienced than you are your advice is either common knowledge, making you appear like a douchebag in the eyes of the receiver, or it is made up bullshit.

My mistake was when Joe asked me how my marketing business was going and I said 'slow'. For the next hour he was intelligence signalling useless advice. The only thing I learned in that hour was how little he knows about marketing.

Doppelganger effect

A causality exists in which after spending enough time with your best friend you start to dress, look, act, and eventually think the same as each other.

“Notice how those two guys sitting together on the bus have the same sunglasses, rings, haircuts, phone brand, shoes, etc. That’s the doppelganger effect. And look in the seats behind them are two girls who dress, tilt their heads and even laugh exactly like each other too”

Feminist Boolean: All men are pigs
Non-Boolean : maybe you Booles just hang around with too many intellectually challenged pigs

Pink Blazer

Hiking or trekking a trail and adjusting your speed to meetup with a female of romantic or sexual interest, often doing things above and beyond what a normal decent person would do.
Basically offering yourself as a tool just like a marker on a tree helps you where to go trail blazing (origin of the word)

“Now the pink blazer is carrying her backpack because she said it was heavy”

“Yup, she’s totally encouraging him too”

Right Click Rip

To save (rip) someone's published photo then re-upload it as though it was your own, rather than just sharing it.

Freezing my ass off all afternoon to finally get that awesome sunset only to have someone right click rip it and take all the credit.
