a historically near-sighted person is someone who can only remember recent history, wether it be in the recent few centuries or even just the recent few years.

Get the Historically Near-Sightedmug. This kind of innocence is when someone, generally of a younger age or uneducated, is not aware of jokes and references of historical events, and/or is surprised when they find out about it.
This can also be used to define someone that jokes about tragic historical events and/or support these "ideologies" without really knowing what they are about.

Get the intellectual historical innocencemug. The belief that the present era is inherently superior to all previous periods in history, regardless of evidence to the contrary. This mindset dismisses past knowledge, traditions, and ways of living as primitive or obsolete, reinforcing the assumption that modern society represents the pinnacle of human achievement.
The rise of historical supremacy in modern education leads many to dismiss indigenous knowledge systems, ignoring centuries of wisdom in favor of a narrative that privileges only the so-called advancements of the present.

Get the Historical Supremacymug. Fat and a tiny penis. Back in the day fat guys were attractive because they had money to buy lots of food, so they could support a family, and ancient men were prized for having a small penis. Thus meaning your are attractive in the past but not now

Get the Historically Attractivemug. A penomenon of demonstration in which deconstructionism and therefore formalism can only represent linear time as moving backwards.
Also called "left-wing determinism."

Get the historicitymug. Used to comedy effect to describe the fastest of drivers. When describing the most elite pedallers of motorsport. Adding irony of someone so naturally talented losing to motorsport cheats.
Joey was absolutely on it in the wet conditions at the Formula Ford Festival; he would definitely struggle in historics

Get the Would definitely struggle in historicsmug. History related topics and discoveries that could be controversial and once you read and learn about it is so eye opening that feels like you just heard some hot new gossip that you have to tell someone and share.
