Functional marginalized whiner

A black kid that never got their ass whooped by an authority figure (such as a parent) as a kid, then they get out into the world where not everybody has to be nice or refrain from cursing all the time and all of a sudden it's harder to be them than it is to be anybody (especially somebody with lighter skin/hair).

Nobody ever picked on the functional marginalized whiner, instead people usually picked on people they thought were easier targets, people with lighter skin and hair, people that seemed more childish and fucked up, people that didn't seem as together.

killer margins

Margins so good only a killer could achieve them. Since it takes very little money to kill someone, most of the money killers make are pure profit.

Sammy made 40% from his $100,000. That’s some killer margins.

Marginalize

If you're a black guy, a Jew, or a Mexican/Latin American, the police are going to act a little different when they get a call about you versus one about other groups. It's really a matter of what somebody looks like and not where the call was made.

Really the rest of us are together in this to marginalize Black people, Jews, and Mexicans/Latin Americans is what it seems like. The rest of us almost made the Indians disappear already, and don't treat Black people, Jews, or Mexicans/Latin Americans much better most of the time, day to day.

A margin maker is a colloquial term, often used internally within a sales or business context, to describe a specific type of conditional discount offered to a customer.

Essentially, it signifies an agreement where the seller reduces the price (thereby impacting their profit margin) in exchange for the customer accepting a monthly guarantee.

marginalization marathon

When people bicker about who has it worse or is marginalized worse, they have a marginalization marathon.

My friend group was talking about how hard their lives were and made it a fucking competition.. I swear I am so sick of their marginalization marathons!

Marginalized

A fancy word people of certain groups like to throw around to sound like they’re actually talking about something important, but mostly talking about one or two incidences, rather than the interaction most people experience.

Bethany: Our people are being Marginalized!
Grace: what does that word even mean?
Bethany: I don’t know, it just sounds good!

Social Marginalism

An academic theory that tries to explain society not by its core values, but by the perceived value of the last, most optional bit of social interaction (the marginal social unit). It asks: does adding one more rule, expectation, or person to a group increase cohesion or just become coercive? The theory suggests that social pressure, like a product, has diminishing returns. The first few norms that keep us from chaos are high-value, but the 100th nitpicky rule about how you must behave is often low-value and purely coercive, creating resentment instead of unity.

Social Marginalism Example: In a tight-knit neighborhood, the first few social expectations (e.g., bring in a neighbor's trash can, wave hello) have high marginal utility—they build trust. But when the neighborhood association starts mandating the exact shade of beige for your curtains and fining you for not attending every block party, that last social unit has low utility. It crosses from cohesion into coercion, making people want to move away. Social marginalism analyzes that breaking point.
