Spitting rhymes

The expression of deeply rooted observations that come from within a human body and result in a monologue that is not exclusive to documented language.

Anthropological source: Any culture that is dependent on oral history will very likely utilize this discourse as primary form of communication.

Facing dystopian times I find myself spitting rhymes, Son.

Shifting the Burden

The tactic of moving the burden of proof from the one making a claim to the one questioning it. Shifting the burden is what happens when someone says "prove me wrong" instead of supporting their own position. It's the logic of "you can't prove God doesn't exist, so he does," of "you can't prove vaccines are safe, so they're dangerous." Shifting the burden inverts the normal rules of argument, putting the challenger in the impossible position of proving a negative. The cure is recognizing that the burden of proof lies with the positive claim, not with its critics. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not extraordinary skepticism.

Shifting the Burden Example: "He claimed the election was stolen. When asked for evidence, he shifted the burden: 'Prove it wasn't.' She couldn't prove a negative; that's not how proof works. But shifting the burden had worked: now she was on the defensive, trying to disprove his unsupported claim. The argument was upside down, and he liked it that way."

Shutting cracker

Another name for a fortune cookie. I created myself on accident as a child and only just figured out isn’t a real term so I made it one.

“What’d you get in your shutting cracker?”
“You mean fortune cookie?”

spitting bloody Chicklets

Chicklets is a brand of chewing gum that’s popular in many neighborhoods. When you’re at the top of the food chain in the old town and a known tough guy you could often put a would be challenger on notice by telling them this. If you don’t watch out you’ll be “spitting bloody Chicklets”. This can be both a warning and an actual threat.

Man Ronnie was running his mouth at Big D and Ronnie ended up spitting bloody Chicklets.
