I’m allergic to glib. — a glib response inspired by the style of the playwright Bertoldt Brecht that foregrounds the apparatus of glibness used as a counter offensive weapon.
This is a 21st century technique derived from the of 20th century insult of introducing a landline interlocutor to your friend “click” and hanging up a phone rapidly terminating a conversation.
Because of the way we now communicate, “snark” is the “word play of choice”. And many people have become “keyboard commandos and combatants”.
Often a dismissive rejoinder is required to reply in as few characters as possible based on 21st century attention spans and mediums of choice like text or Twitter and Facebook.
“I’m allergic to glib” is a wonderful way to terminate an electronic conversation while simultaneously dismissing the “snark-er”.
Like most comebacks, ultimately, this will become overused (see speak to the hand); so, use it while it lasts.
The good news is that if one uses and studies the writings of Bertoldt Brecht ; then, the only limit to creatively generating Brecht-ian conversation rejoinders is individual creativity and wit.

I actually read hard copy books and stay away from electronic platforms like Facebook and Twitter because I’m allergic to glib.

Get the GLïfe mug.Means "It glides in". Was originally the fight song of the Swedes during the World Cup hockey championships of 1995, held in Sweden. Also intended to be the official song of the championships.
Unsurprisingly, it became very popular in Finland after we won the World Cup for the first time ever. Our national hockey team, the Lions, actually recorded it. Even now, people sing it when they gather in bars to watch hockey games, no matter who the opponent may be. All the better if it's Sweden.
