Edgy is a word whose meaning has greatly changed over time. Back in the '60s-early '80s, "edgy" referred to talented satirists like George Carlin who took well-deserved potshots at a notoriously conservative, straight-laced, and repressive establishment who had strict rules about what you could and couldn't say on broadcast. Nowadays, since people like Carlin basically won that battle a long time ago, and it's normal to hear people talking about vibrators on Oprah, "edgy" refers to people who just say outrageous things for shock value, or take knee-jerk, reflexive anti-authority/anti-status-quo stances without carefully thinking over the ramifications of what they're advocating.
I spent 10 minutes on Reddit, and in those 10 minutes, I learned from some 14-year-olds that the Holocaust is hilarious, that all fat people are lazy pieces of shit, and that the reasonable solution to environmental pollution is to ban all cars. How very, very edgy.

Get the edgy mug.A word that extremely-online Marxists and tankies like to use, that no normal person knows or cares what the fuck means.
Some edgy communist online started mumbling some shit about praxis and the finer points of Bolshevism vs. Trotskyism, and I told him to go outside.

Get the praxis mug.John is a libertarian. He has a ponytail, likes marijuana, and doesn't hate gay people, but otherwise, he is indistinguishable from a Republican.

Get the Libertarian mug.Larry Libertarian believes that workers have no rights, taxation is theft, racial discrimination should be legal, regulations that protect clean air and water should be rolled back, and everything else that a Republican believes...but he wants to legalize the marijuana, so all the 20-somethings think he's cool.

Get the Libertarian mug.A term that REALLY just fucking means lies, but thanks to postmodernism, we're not allowed to call them that anymore, because everyone's viewpoint is equally valid, there is no such thing as a false narrative, and everyone is entitled to their own personal reality.
You say the sun is made of hydrogen and helium, I say it's made of whale farts and silly string! Those are my alternative facts! Nobody is right or wrong, there is no such thing as objectivity, we have to respect everyone's viewpoint!

Get the alternative facts mug.An affliction that causes people to say things to people over the distance of an Internet connection that, if they ever DARED to say to a person in a face-to-face conversation, would likely result in them getting knocked on their ass and maybe a trip to the hospital, but behind the safety of their monitor where nobody can physically touch them, they can behave like complete and utter shitbirds with no consequences, because as we all know, the Internet isn't real, of course, and the person you're mouthing off to isn't a real human being, with emotions of their own.
It is closely related to the similar affliction that causes people to become total sociopaths when behind the wheel of a car, where they are similarly safe from physical retribution.

If the technology were invented tomorrow to make it possible to punch a person in the face over TCP/IP, Internet Badass Syndrome would vanish almost overnight, and the Internet would be the most civil, polite place ever.

Get the Internet Badass Syndrome mug.More specific than just an asshole, douchebag, dickhead, etc., a shitbird is someone who is extremely selfish, entitled, and narcissistic, and does ONLY what is most convenient for THEM, with absolutely no regard for how it makes other people's lives worse and fucks up the social order. They believe that ALL rules, laws, and social conventions are inherently oppressive, and rebel against all authority simply for the sake of rebelling against authority, even when said authority is 100% reasonable. The shitbird's life philosophy is "My enjoyment above all", and frequently say "You're not the boss of me/You can't tell me what to do!". They do things like drive recklessly, cut in lines, throw trash wherever they want, and whatever else they feel like, with no guilt whatsoever. They think "freedom" means "complete anarchy". Other words for shitbird are "libertine" and "sociopath". Like pigeons who shit all over a statue, the shitbird just likes to shit all over everything, and leave other, decent people to clean up their messes.
People who didn't follow mask and vaccine mandates during the COVID pandemic, because their own personal comfort took priority over not killing people in their vicinity with a deadly virus, are shitbirds.
