picking violets

Picking violets is part of the flower code for lesbians. The phrase comes from the famous poet Sappho of Lesbos (for whom the word lesbian was named) and it was thought that Sappho would give violets to the girl who she was wooing.
“all the violet tiaras,
braided rosebuds, dill and
crocus twined around your young neck” -Sappho

Picking violets:
Me: picked any violets lately?
Girl: No but maybe we can pick some together?

Me: (thinking) yay she’s gay!

Cherry Picking

Cherry Picking, is the act of going out of your way to make something look bad.

It involves highlighting isolated instances or minor details to create a skewed or misleading impression about something, typically to make it appear worse than it actually is.

In essence, cherry picking involves taking a small part of a larger picture and using it out of context to support a negative or biased view, which can be misleading and unfair. It's important to consider all relevant information and context when forming an opinion or making an argument to avoid falling into the trap of cherry picking.
