urban co-opting

Posting a previously submitted definition on Urban Dictionary (almost verbatim) just to inflate one's sorry, battered ego by getting votes up, collaterally.

See: vaguebooking (definitions # 1 & 2.) Obviously, Bambimasticator is Urban Co-opting.

E-girl optics

The processes e-girls go through to increase perceived attraction in their social media photos through the use of deceiving angles, filters, makeup, and editing.

Have you seen her IG? She's such a baddie!
Nah, have you seen her at school? She's a 5/10 at best. She's just mastered e-girl optics.

how is that even an option?

When a choice someone makes has no logical or acceptable reason why it was made and you have to question how it even became an option before said choice was made.

John: That lady at the gym with a mustache can bench 300.

Larry: She has a mustache? How is that even an option?

Potato Bob: So yea, I got a pet Dandelion the other day.

Larry: ...How is that even a option? Of all the pets you could choose from you got a pet plant. You could have got something normal like a cat, a dog, a bird or even something a little different like a ferret or pig but you chose a motherfucking Dandelion? QUESTION FUCKING MARK. THE FUCK IS YOU TALM BOUT?

Optimist

The idea that everything is best, and all things happen for a greater purpose. In other words, a waste of time.

Oh, look, there's an optimist on the street thinking he will one day be able to walk and live like a normal person when he's a paraplegic with no arms, legs, and the speech ability of Helen Keller.
