threadromancy

The resurrection of a dead thread in a forum. It's a simple contraction of thread-necromancy.

In our forum, threadromancy is frowned upon.

Bob is an annoying threadromancer.

euphemism treadmill

The process by which a pejorative term is replaced by a more politically correct term, only to over time be corrupted and used pejoratively itself until a new term is introduced, upon which the cycle repeats itself.

So named because walking on a treadmill gives you the illusion of going somewhere, when actually not making any progress. Basically a form of political correctness masturbation.

The best example of a euphemism treadmill is the word "retarded", which was originally adopted as a more apt and kinder alternative to previous medical terms such as "moron", "imbecile", and "idiot".

"Retarded" is currently considered a pejorative insult, so new terms have been invented such as "special needs" and "intellectualy disabled" , which will in time become pejorative insults themselves. Thus retarded SJW's, downie parents, and the self-righteous will always have something to bitch about.

Tampered Thread

Tampered Threads: Adjective/Slang
It's used to describe an article of clothing that looks really dope. Usually, it's a unique thrifted piece, that's almost impossible to find anywhere.

History of Tampered Threads:

This word originated during the rise of thrifting -fits, at a time when people started to care about the overwhelming market of Fast Fashion and clothing waste around the world - from over consumption. These people are inspired by the past craftsmanship of clothing and appreciate the pieces that were once were (new threads) and now carry another story of glory and pride from people nationwide. In other words.. dope ass clothes.

Synonyms: Fresh, Dapper, Dappress, Cool, & Dope, Trendy.

Person 1: "Dayyymmn Bro, where'd you find that Tampered Thread at?"

Person 2: At tamperedthreads.com
