When someone thinks they're so original and clever because they thought up something everyone has heard before.
"I like to call Target 'Tar-jay' to make it sound fancy."
"I don't watch that show, and none of my friends do either. They should call it 'Everybody Hates Raymond.'" (waits for laughter)
"I heard that from someone else today. Enough fake originality."
To think independently.
Word very misused today. Today it is used as "being different from the rest." Maybe so, but not in all cases. Originality; being yourself, doing what you like. If what you like happens to be the trend, you are in fact, original. Losers try to be original by just being different, which results in not doing what you want to do. Just do what you want, and like it. That's your own originality.
A disorder that plagues conservatives on the internet. Conservative Originality Disorder or COD occurs when conservatives steal a creative argument or term from people that disagrees with them and changes it around to uses against their critics. This most often results in ConservaFail. See cheap shot
For Example a original term like Conservative Hate Culture gets turned into Liberal Hate Culture by some butthurt conservative.
COD often comes along with ignorance toward their own hypocritical ways as well as a snobby attitude towards those who don't agree with them.
Individuals who obhore stereotyping and attempt to be unique and invididual by engaging in such things as alternative hobbies, hairstyles, music tastes, clothing, hang-out spots, and wordviews. Ironically, they simultaneously become un-unique by unconciously placing themselves in the stereotyped group of people who are attempting to be unique, coming full circle back around to square one - unoriginality.
