Identitygrifter

Someone who fakes or exaggerates aspects of their identity sexuality, gender, ethnicity, trauma, or neurodivergence for social currency, validation, sympathy, or online clout. Often uses trending “labels” to infiltrate marginalised communities for personal gain.

Wait, so now she’s queer, trans, autistic and a trauma survivor conveniently every trending identity on TikTok? Nah, babe. That’s an identitygrifter

Identify Myself

You have already identified myself. Because the day I gave you the Etymology clues the volume of people who I have never met doing the thing I am talking about increased immediately and I said 'Well that was fast' and then someone hacked the cameras at the kwik trip I work at and everyone saw that I was telling the truth and now this is just you trying to prolong the time it takes for me to get the relief I am entitled to under the false pretense that you do not know who I am. You're like Gon from Hunter X Hunter trying to see if you can get Netero to use his right hand.

Hym "So I don't need to identify myself. You need to stop playing dumb. You need to be made to stop playing dumb by any means necessary. You tried it your way and your coworker and her husband got shot in the face for it. My thing worked. Your thing didn't work. You are dumb. But you are not too dumb to do what I'm tell you to do. So that's what you need to do. Tell the REE-lon to shut the fuck up and stop shitting in people's beds. Go to church. Clasp your hands together and tell your child porn watching God to come down here. And then go fuck yourself."

ireny

Da eyerolling-disgust-inducing difference between da level/type of anger dat you expected a particular situation to produce, and what temperish results --- or absence thereof, if you're lucky --- actually occurred.

A classic case of ireny would be in "To Kill A Mockingbird", where da scared-and-hungry Dill went to all da agonized/trepidatious effort to secretly enter da Finch's house and hide under Scout's bed for an extended period while tummy-rumblingly listening to Scout's family happily partaking of their supper, only to then have "big and scary" Atticus not even look mildly upset when Dill finally showed himself, and then be generously plied with leftovers, given a hot bath, and finally be permitted to happily climb in beside his dream-girl (Scout herself) in her bed for some blessed sleep.

verbal identity

the part of a corporate identity that can be expressed in words - usually including values, vision statement, proposition, positioning, brand promise, key characteristics, tone of voice. It underpins the visual parts of the identity such as logos, colourways, graphic architecture etc.

We need to make sure the verbal identity is in place before we invite design agencies to tender.

Bland Identity

When someone/a company creates a new brand identity and it is boring and blah (bland) - doesn't do anything for the brand and is pretty much worse than the brand was to begin with.

Customer 1: Did you notice the new logo for that computer store.
Customer 2: Yeah man, but it's boring. They didn't do anything to it. All they did was get themselves a new bland identity. They'll go under in a month.

mixed identity

When a user-member on the BeatYourTruck.com forum can't decide on a permanent avatar and so eludes to a recurring format of unfamiliar and somewhat uncomfortable recognition.

At first I didn't recognize that avatar, but upon closer inspection it turns out that noob moderator has a mixed identity.
