The r/writing subreddit Principle
The r/writing subreddit Principle states that if your question starts with the words "Is it ok" or something similar to that then the answer is invariably yes.
"Hello, r/writing. Can I use a particular gimmick or a plot device that has been used before but because I don't actually read books or do any research I just assume it to be a highly original idea?"
"According to the r/writing subreddit Principle, the answer is always yes. You can write whatever you want."
"But is it ok if, like, my main character dies in the end? I'm afraid the average reader will be put off by my creative genius."
"Yes! Stop asking other people for validation! Grow a backbone and write what you want!"

Linking subreddits outside of Reddit
Subreddits should only be linked in reddit. It's very cringy to do it outside of reddit. You'll see this very often on Youtube comment sections anyway due to the upsurge of dumbass YouTubers narrating various subreddits, with their main audience being kids who have never actually been on Reddit before.

Subbed
The act of being humiliated for an extremely long period of time, most of the time the subbing subject is about grades, how smart the aggressor is, or how much more intelligent he/she is, which can be quite “funny”. Usually done by an extremely smart individual that is also funny and humble. Being subbed can entail the victim being humiliated and “roasted” by the more intelligent aggressor.
Safe Space Subreddit
A place where a group of people can gather if they have been subjected to ideas that differ from their ideologies. These safe spaces have circle jerks, pointless discussion and a delusional moderator team. Presumably, this allows them to recover from the trauma; free from any lasting damage resulting from exposure to ideas that conflict with their beliefs.

No Surprises Wedding
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.

Blexas
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.
