Since the late 1800s, competitive threading has been an important part of the yarndling fraternity. Marks are awarded for artistic kedding, skilful use of the verricule holder and overall 'authenticity of purpose'. The Tasmanian branch of the Yarndling Association in Hobart, Tasmania is a particularly strong contender in the Antipodean regionals, citing "fun, tempered with social responsibility" as their watchword.
During the 2012LondonOlympics, Team GB would often remind the public of its commitment to the "spirit of yarndling", principally in its emphasis on fair play, equality for all, and competitive threading.
When you want to get fucked up on a whole different level, it consists of smokin that fine ass green, poppin a pill and getting hammered drunk. Basically blackout status
A YouTube channel by two people, Rob Czar and Corinne Leigh.
They make some cool DIYs from Pinterest, but have other series too.
Corinne is normally sensible and careful, but Rob doesn't care about his health and safety generally.
There are several drug jokes, excessive swearing and blood in their videos.
Currently they have almost 4 million subscribers (July 2017)
Me: I was binge watching Threadbanger today.
Friend: Oh god, you must have seen so much stupidity in such a short time!
A euphemism is a term or a phrase used by individuals to refer to a controversial topic as overwhelmingly inoffensive as possible, as opposed to being politically incorrect (aka "enthusiastically offensive").
Unfortunately, the overuse of a euphemism will eventually devolve its meaning to the extent that itself becomes politically incorrect and will have to be replaced with another euphemism. This is a sociolinguistic phenomenon to as the "euphemism treadmill".
The term "mental retardation" was once a euphemism and politically correct term used to describe stupidity. The previous term was imbecile which was an actual medical category which comprised of idiots (IQ0 to 25), imbeciles (IQ26 to 50), and morons (IQ 51 to 70).
Over time, mental retardation and its associated verb "retard" became as corrupted as "imbecile" and "idiot" and was eventually replaced with "intellectual disability". It is now only a matter of time when being "disabled" is offensive and once again, slides down the euphemism treadmill.
Scientists have proof that this is the last thing an Intel HEDT CPU will see before it died
Intel fanboy: I'm gonna buy the 10980XE, it's the best of the best right now
People with a brain: The Threadripper 2970X is a thing you know. I'm going to wait for AMD to release the 3990X with 64 cores. That will crush that garbage you call HEDT and the Xeon Platinum at the same time
The process by which a pejorative term is replaced by a more politically correct term, only to over time be corrupted and used pejoratively itself until a new term is introduced, upon which the cycle repeats itself.
So named because walking on a treadmill gives you the illusion of going somewhere, when actually not making any progress. Basically a form of political correctnessmasturbation.
The best example of a euphemism treadmill is the word "retarded", which was originally adopted as a more apt and kinder alternative to previous medical terms such as "moron", "imbecile", and "idiot".
"Retarded" is currently considered a pejorative insult, so new terms have been invented such as "special needs" and "intellectualy disabled" , which will in time become pejorative insults themselves. Thus retarded SJW's, downie parents, and the self-righteous will always have something to bitch about.
