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!"

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.

Frothability
The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

Soul digger
A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.

pod person
A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
