Refers to da random bu**s**t blinker-operations dat you brainlessly display to hapless fellow motorists after your having partaken of one or more "tall and strong" bartender-blended drinks in Margaritaville.
Sending mixed signals during turns or lane-changes may not actually indicate dat your car is low on blinker-fluid; instead, it may show dat YOU YOURSELF are "over-filled" with some OTHER type of "fluid! :P

Get the mixed signals mug.The act of signalling exclusivity or secrecy, even when there’s no substantial reason. It mimics in-group dynamics to create a heightened sense of importance, often leaving outsiders feeling excluded, even when the content is trivial.
Super-signalling can be thought of as a kind of unintentional gaslighting. The term comes from the 1938 play Gas Light, where a man drives his wife to the brink of insanity by gradually dimming the lights in their apartment while pretending that nothing has changed.
Super-signalling operates similarly, although more subtly. There’s really nothing there, yet our very human Fear Of Missing Out is triggered. While gaslighting is deliberate, super-signalling is often unconscious—those engaging in it are likely unaware of the (super) signals they’re transmitting.
The behaviour is rampant on social media. Vague status updates, cryptic tweets, or ‘stories’ that hint at something significant without revealing any details are the digital equivalent of those whispered huddles. They tap into our instinct to belong, leaving us wondering what we’ve missed.
The same is true for airy corporate slides with conspicuous stamps of saying “CONFIDENTIAL,” when it’s apparent that they contain little of substance.
Or scientific presentations where heavy smoke screens of technical jargon obscure the fact that the subject being studied is actually quite inconsequential.
As Gertrude Stein once quipped: “There’s no there there.”

Get the Super-signalling mug.Bullshit repeated over and over again by every astrology girl on planet Earth.
They use it because they just so happen to have no personality, so they like to lean on whatever the garbage horoscopes are cranking out this week.
They base their entire life off of whatever month they happen to be born in, and I guess they were right on how your zodiac sign makes a difference because their one made them fucking retarded.
Oh and don't get me started about all this "compatibility" bullshit like they will actually fucking leave you because of your birth month. Don't you know compatibility is based off of actual fucking compatibility and not what start was in the sky when you were born?
Of course you didn't.
In short, zodiac signs mean that someone is too retarded to have any personality traits or unique qualities about themselves so they consult to the nearest crackpot retard in a 10 mile radius to tell them what to do.
