Bob is an annoying threadromancer.

Panda Threat Level

Panda Threat Level

The Panda Threat Level (PTL) is a subsequent result of harvesting Panda Points into an undesired amount. Although the expression of the level is different per individual the increase is paired with increased explicit comments, sexual harassement or obscene gestures.

Oh my, your Panda Threat Level is high, isn't it? Are you that desperately in need of some attention?

minor threat

A influential punk band in the 80's. They were instrumental in the formation of the DC HarDCore scene in Washington, DC. The band was fronted by Ian MacKaye and included Brian Baker on bass, Lyle Preslar on guitar, and Jeff Nelson on drums. The band is probably most famous for the song 'Straightedge'. MacKaye currently fronts Fugazi, and Baker plays in Bad Religion.

Dude, Minor Threat were an amazing example of DC HarDCore.

euphemism treadmill

The process by which a pejorative term is replaced by a more politically correct term, only to over time be corrupted and used pejoratively itself until a new term is introduced, upon which the cycle repeats itself.

So named because walking on a treadmill gives you the illusion of going somewhere, when actually not making any progress. Basically a form of political correctness masturbation.

The best example of a euphemism treadmill is the word "retarded", which was originally adopted as a more apt and kinder alternative to previous medical terms such as "moron", "imbecile", and "idiot".

"Retarded" is currently considered a pejorative insult, so new terms have been invented such as "special needs" and "intellectualy disabled" , which will in time become pejorative insults themselves. Thus retarded SJW's, downie parents, and the self-righteous will always have something to bitch about.
