insecurity indicator

a word, phrase, acronym, emoticon, or babble appended to the end of a typed line in chat in order to make the typist feel that he has decreased the severity or conviction of what he typed. often used by an insecure person who wishes to test the waters of what he is saying without appearing serious and committed to it.

Pete: "Robert's a loser, haha."
John: "What? Robert's awesome."
Pete: "Oh, I know, man!"

Pete: "I hate Robert, asdkfjadsf."
John: "Robert's a great guy."
Pete: "Oh yeah, I agree."

Pete: "Robert's gay ;x"
John: "Dude, he's definitely straight."
Pete: "I was just kidding, bro. I know he's straight."

Pete: "Why does Robert act so stupid? lol."
John: "Actually, I think he usually acts pretty intelligently."
Pete: "Oh, my tone was meant to imply that I meant the opposite of what I was saying. Irony, you know? You just didn't catch it."
John: "Right... can you stop trying to use the insecurity indicator on me? It's an obvious indicator that you're insecure."

Indecent exposure law

One of the most stupid law in the world. What it says is that they human body that is one of Gods finest creations is dirty and should not be seen.

Repeal indecent exposure law.

indica

A strain of marijuana. The cannabis plant will be smaller and stoutier. The high you get from an indica strain is more or a couch-lock high.

Opposite of satvia, which is a more laughy, active high.

Tone Indicators

A very useful thing. Some people might find it cringe, but tone indicators are seriously useful for anyone who finds it hard to understand the true meaning or implications in someone's texts, especially someone you don't know well. I would go so far as to say it's an evolution in our way of communicating online. They should really be used more often by people who naturally text in a cold and dry manner.

Scenario 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 tone indicators involved:

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok
Person 1: ??
Person 2: what
Person 1: Is that like a genuine ok or a sarcastic one or...
Person 2: I just meant ok
Person 1: Ohh, gotcha. Sorry my brain kinda interpreted it like you thought I was bothering you😅

Scenario 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 tone indicators involved:

Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok /gen
Person 1:👍

See how much less problematic the 2nd scenario was?

Indoctrination Camp

A place a human-being is sent against their will to receive a washing of the brain, so as to stamp out independent thought and deep contemplation associated with meta-cognition and philosophy. An indoctrination camp will relentlessly smash into the brain of unsuspecting children ideas such as Germ Theory, Theory of Evolution, Dinosaurs, Helio-centrism etc, etc.

Sheep: Gonna send my little Johnny to the indoctrination camps so he can get his PHD and continue to push the absurdities of the modern world into the next generations.
