subtlecide

The act of deliberately engaging in unhealthy/self-destructive behavior in an effort to expedite one's own death, but to do so in societally acceptable or neglected ways. Subtlecide is portmanteau of "subtle" and "suicide", or to "subtly work towards suicide". Subtlecide is a strategy generally used by the terminally mentally ill to achieve death without bringing unwanted attention to oneself, such as pressure or disapproval from friends and family, or involuntary psychiatric commitment. Common methods of subtlecide include tobacco use, drug and alcohol use/abuse, reckless/promiscuous sexual activity, among many others.

Last time I tried to commit suicide I was hospitalized and then incarcerated, so from now on I'll only work on my subtlecide.

Subtle Curry Trait

Little things that curry eating people living abroad can identify with; for example the smell of curry on your hands even after you wash your hands, parenting hacks, wedding hashtags, bolly humour

Well that is a subtle curry trait I’m proud of .

Subtle conflation

Subtle conflation between sucess and intelligence or education and intelligence.

Hym "The only real measure of intelligence is verbal intelligence. The ability to convert abstraction into articulated thought and then speech. And is largely learned. As opposed to mathematical aptitude which is largely inate or inherent. Nice subtle conflation though. Just admit that you want everyone to be nice to retards. That's all this framing of intelligence really is. Nice to retard mean to 'bigots". That's you're conceptualization of intelligence."
