Reddit Special

A response to a question that offers non-responsive answer. The responder, rather than engaging with relevant knowledge, deflects by either answering a tangential question nobody asked, or requesting information irrelevant to the actual inquiry.

The contribution is 'technically' adjacent to the topic but functionally useless — it adds noise, dilutes the information space, and burdens the asker with restating what should have been clear. The behavior is common in online forums, where 'performative helpfulness' substitutes for actual experience.

Person 1: I asked the forum how to setup a home server, but they kept asking me why I needed a home server and told me to use AWS instead.
Person 2: Ah, the 'Reddit Special'

Shockjaw Special

A loadout in the video game "Arc Raiders" consisting of a Hairpin and a Ferro.
The Hairpin is a silenced pistol used for stealth, while the Ferro is a break-action battle rifle.

Combined they make up of pretty good combo, that is both silent but deadly.

That raider used the Shockjaw Special against us and murdered our entire squad! I didn't even know where he was shooting us from.

Raider 1: I cannot think of a loadout to use right now... There are so many choices in this game!
Raider 2: Let's run the trusty Shockjaw Special!
Raider 1: Let's go! The Hairpin is the most underrated gun!
