Engaging in prostitution 

I didn't engage in any prostitution that I'm aware of. Unless I've been set up. Which I will just appeal because I wouldn't pay a single cent for the last sex I've had and if someone else did then they wasted their money.
Hym "Engaging in prostitution? You are trying to make me guilty of everything of everything I said you are doing and everything I said I would do. And that's the difference. I'm both biased and objectively correct and you're just biased. It's just more biased pearl clutching. Oh no muh kids parish the thought and then you pretend to faint because you're a fucking actress. You're ridiculous. Isn't a good thing you're always wearing make up. That probably makes it super easy for you to throw on your red wig and hop in your for your side gig. Jesus! Seriously. We wouldn't even need politics if you idiots could step outside of yourselves for even a single second. A bunch of partisan hacks! All of ya!"

Dismissive engagement / dismissive engaging 

Dismissive Engagement / dismissive engaging

When someone half-heartedly enters a debate just to shut it down, insult, or provoke — then immediately claims they don’t care, cutting off any real discussion.

They engage long enough to invalidate your point (or rile you up), but then retreat into “I don’t care” mode so they don’t have to defend themselves. It’s basically a one-way valve for arguments: their opinion goes through, yours gets dismissed.

• You: “I think the government should…”
Them: “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But I don’t care anyway, go argue with someone else.”
• You: “Here’s why I like this policy.”
Them: “LMAO that’s trash, but whatever, not my problem.”

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
