We all know you read the thesaurus

A phrase used to describe someone who uses fancy and/or excessive speech. In the context of Limbus Company, the phrase was used in a scene where a character explains as if they read the thesaurus, causing one of the main characters to call them out.

Person A: I was struck with sorrow upon the sight of their entrails. In fact, I had gained an epiphany: why must the innocent bear death and mutilation for a root impertinent to them? Had the madmen been any wiser, the townsfolk would have not suffered this tragedy, and would live on to an untroubled life.

Person B: Yeah, we all know you read the thesaurus. So anyways, you saw those poor innocents’ corpses and you want us to take revenge? Y’know we’re not some heroes fighting for justice.

Read their rights

To respectfully or disrespectfully check a person. To put them in their place.

I just had to read their rights to these racist people

Pisani-Reade Effect

When someone or a group of people lie and make false accusations for serious crimes, including rape, pedophilia, etc in order to hide the fact that they're either doing something just as bad if not worse than the person they're accusing or trying to con people that support them in a mega grifting scheme. People that participate in such activities will also harass, guilt trip and back stab other people behind their backs while pretending to care about said person to their face. They also have a large victimization complex where they pretend that they're the victims when they get caught

Did you hear about those people that were lying and falsely accusing that kid of being a creep because of something super arbitrary and stupid?
Oh great did the Pisani-Reade effect hit the fandom?

Third-Reading

When one is reading a romance book and feels as though they are third-wheeling with the characters.

“Omg Rebecca I’m reading this book and I’m totally third-reading with the main ship”

required reading

Just another bu**s**t compulsory activity (like in-depth studying of history or science or chemistry) in school dat usually just wastes your time/energy/patience and very seldom has any use in future life or employment.

I imagine that "required reading" has often significantly contributed to childhood dissatisfaction and lack of bonding among siblings, since many a youngster has had to sadly play by himself because Big Bro/Sis had to study books instead of paying attention to said toddler.

Reading

Look behind you :)

I know you're reading this. The knowing of being watched.
