freedom of speech
The freedom to an opinion and the right to express it in a non-violent and non-threatening manner. It does not, as opposed to what many people think, grant the freedom to say anything without consequences.
John: "I can threaten to kill you and your family all I want, it's freedom of speech."
Dave: "You're an idiot."

freedom of speech
A non-existent ideal created by America but never respected or set in motion. There is absolutely no such thing as "freedom of speech" if the things that you say can be censored, silenced, or even erased. People try to exercise their right to freedom of speech, but no one ever succeeds because there will always be some asshole out there who thinks that you are wrong for whatever reason, and makes it his mission in life to censor whatever you have presented to the public as your opinion. No one anywhere in the world really has freedom of speech.
Say something that even ONE person disagrees with - on the internet, in a magazine, newspaper, on TV, or even verbally - and you get shot down and told that you're "wrong". Did I mention that this is because ONE single person disagreed with you? "freedom of speech" is a joke.

freedom of speech
I'd like to provide you all with some text i've recieved in a journalism class. The entire first quarter of the year was spent on the first amendment. Our rights of the first one inlclude ONLY these: Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and right to petition. For the freedom of speech part, there ARE some limits. Some legal limits. They are:
Clear and Present Danger
Fighting Words
Libel and Slander
Obscenity
Conflight with Other Legitimate Social Or Governmental Interests
Time, Place and Manner
So no, you dont have the legal right to say 'fuck you' on national television, or show your tits during a superbowl halftime show. I agree that we SHOULD be able to curse etc. as we feel, but there do need to be a few limits so that we dont abuse it. Just so everyone knows, the 5th one means that in times of crisis(war) the government can restrict it for security(idioticly). They can also place a gag order on the press during war and participants in a trial. I agree this is idiocy, but you have no constitutional right to tell someone to fuck themself on CSPAN.

freedom of speech
The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable

freedom of speech
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
In short, we can say what we want to say, within certain limits. Yes, you can say "FUCK YOU" to a police officer and call your lawyer (if you're stupid enough) and get away with it. You can't give threats or endanger public safety, however.
Basically, if you want to use it, keep your lawyer on speed dial and have deep pockets.

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

Glippy
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.
Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”
Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
