thread chicken

If you aren't sure if you're going to run out of bobbin thread before finishing your current seam, but you keep stitching without re threading your bobbin, you are playing thread chicken.

I totally lost a game of thread chicken, and now I have to re-sew the entire fucking seam.

/thread

/thread is used ironically uncommonly
when someone quotes dumb post/s on the imageboard and sums up ironically the value of the message behind them

When posting for example on lgbt board things like;
The female body is beautiful and aesthetic. You'd have to be fucked in the head to not like it.

and the other user quotes your post and writes;
/thread
