Phrase from the internet funny man himself, Alpharad. This means that styling on your opponent is much more important than winning the game. Usually used in Smash Bros.
Opponent: “Why did you go for that forward aerial offstage with no jump?”
Alpharad: “Because it’s not about winning, it’s about sending a message.”
"It's not about winning, it's about being the most toxic" is a team motto started by four teammates in the Call of Duty clan TOX1C, who frequented Warzone lobbies together.
The motto went viral on Call Of Duty News on July 20th, 2022.
Traditionally the phrase is split into two parts when a "toxic" play is made.
Traditionally it is used to acknowledge a players toxic play:
Teammate one: *Uses grenade launcher*
Teammate two: "Its not about winning"
Alternatively, it can be said in unison, when plays are made in unison:
All teammates: *riot shields*
All teammates: "It's not about winning, it's about being the most toxic!"
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
