Changing lanes without signaling

It's when a man goes from the vagina to the anus in one quick motion without warning his partner.

I was changing lanes without signaling on Renee in the shower and she went deaf for a minute.

Shit Signaling

Actions that run counter to societal norms so as to prove your love and loyalty to friends, loved ones, etc.

'Did that guy just knock over your beer?!'

'Yea, that's Dan. He's just shit signaling. Don't judge him by this interaction alone.'

Virtue Signaling

A virtue signaler is a trendy poser ego-maniac who perplexes old school trailblazing liberals. Their ego takes precedence over the actual issue, and it's painfully obvious. It's also a great rebuttal tp a meritless claim that one is racist.

Debator: Remember when we all used to get along? At least it seemed that way. Now social media is perpetuating shock value and BLM seems to have been hijacked by violence.
Virtue signaler: You're just racist. Black Lives Matter!
Debator: Yes they do! What you don't know is that they matter more than your virtue signaling.

master-signifier

In Lacanian theory, a signifier which stops the slippage of the signified under the signifier and fixes meaning, thereby forming a stable symbolic order. It is a particular signifier with no signified of its own, which stands in for the "fullness" of the meaning of the symbolic system itself. However, since contingency and lack are taken to be primary in Lacanian theory, it is necessarily arbitrary and is unable to guarantee its own primacy except through arbitrary and ungrounded violence. It is always haunted by the return of the Real.

In my view, this concept is useful but its basis is mistaken. What is repressed is active desire, held down for fear of punishment, and not some kind of ontological void. Lacan is wrong to pose his problems on such a metaphysical level.

Virtue Signaling

Taking a selfie with a COVID mask to show that you are complying with CDC recommendations to protect your neighbor even though you are perfectly healthy.

Also...adding a "frame" to your profile picture saying that you got vaccinated.

She posted another masked selfie...she is just virtue signaling
