"My mother's story about a former friend was a pretext to micro-critize my life's choices."
"He made a micro-criticism when he said to me that he hates that other person's pants, while I was wearing the same kind.
"When I confronted her for insinuating I was fat, she got defensive and said I misunderstood, she was talking about other people, not me. I felt bad for getting mad, but we were talking about me in the first place. Was it a micro-criticism, or am I overly sensitive?"

A male who has no brain cells as-well-as refers to stuff in such a manner that makes it comedic for others to enjoy of the shear ignorance. They also refer everything foreign to a slang term. And they are incredibly spastic.
