Socially tone deaf

a condition of being oblivious and/or clueless regarding the existence of social cues, nuances, mores, norms, et cetera, within a given social subset, or more often than not totally and completely and all the time. This is distinct from the more estimable traits of being indifferent or irreverant, where one is aware of social expectations, cues, et cetera, but simply doesn't care or flat out mocks and/or rejects them. Socially tone deaf people are blind, deef and dumb to the normative social standards and expectations of behavior around them, and demonstrate this with regular incidences of egregious and embarassing faux~pas and party fowling. Consistent responses to the socially tone deaf include head shaking, eye rolling, clandestined warnings under one's breath, and quick-thinking, opportunistic ditching. Syn (masc): fuckstick, (fem): bobblehead.
-Look out, here comes everybody's favorite conversationalist; for pete's sake don't get her started you know socially tone deaf she is.

-Bob is so socially tone deaf, I can't take him anywhere with me.

Tony Zaret

Actor and writer who creates skits parodying popular memes and trends in a sarcastic sense. His characters are flat earthers, middle-aged conservatives, storytime animators, stereotypical millennials, and anything in-between. He seems to really passively-aggressively hate this website.

dulcet tones

A sound or voice so gorgeous you just have to listen to it again and again no matter what.

So recognisable that even the faintest hint of it in the distance can send your mind reeling.

Tone Tags

Tone tags help convey tone of voice over text. Often used by those who are neurodivergent.

I advise people to use tone tags to prevent future confusion and distress.

Guide:

/j = joking
/hj = half joking
/ij = inside joke
/c = copypasta
/ly = lyrics
/t = teasing
/lh = light-hearted
/s = sarcasm
/rt = rhetorical question
/srs = serious

/g = genuine
/p = platonic
/r = romantic
/neg = negative connotation
/pos = positive connotation
I love you!!!! /p”
This could have been read as romantic but the tone tags helps you realize it is platonic love.

earth tone hipster

Breed of hipster who dresses exclusively in earth tones - tans, grays, dark greens, etc. - and sometimes other muted colors. To the untrained eye (i.e. someone only accustomed to hipsters who wear bright, multicolored and/or metallic clothes), an earth tone hipster may fly under the radar.

Earth tone hipsters often have intellectual inclinations and their 'quieter' clothing (compared to that of their loudly-colored cousins) reflects their 'introspective' tendencies.
Nick: Hey, you said your school is full of hipsters but I don't see any metallic silver leggings.

Sophie: Shh, they're all over the place. You just can't see them because they're all intellectual-type earth tone hipsters and they blend in with their surroundings.
