Chandlerism

A swift moving, hard-boiled style of writing, generally seen from the morally upright, wise-cracking characters of novelist Raymond Chandler, most notably in the form of Philip Marlowe.
"From 30 feet away, she looked like a lotta class. From ten feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from 30 feet away." - Chandlerism spoken by Philip Marlowe

"He looked about as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food."

Pretty much the coolest, most amazing practice you will ever come across.

Chandlers Ford 

As a response to the definition I saw l, I have decided to create my own. Chandlers Ford is not a snobby town and there are plenty of roadmen who go to schools like Toynbee and Thornden. Not many people are 'rich'. And people live there because its a nice area. Of course its not a perfect place (and the town has a lot of anime-obsessed year 7s) but it's not snobby
Bob: Wanna go to ASDA in Chandlers Ford?

Smith: Yeah sure, I mean maybe we could see some Naurito running year 7s.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
