Critical Race Theory

The most misunderstood theory in history.

This theory was meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but apparently a few people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.

In all seriousness, for one to understand CRT, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am referring to the philosophical theory and framework written by Adorno & Horkheimer, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.

If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.

Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "Critical Race Theory is a bunch of BS"
๐— ๐—ฒ: "No, it's not. Either you misunderstood the theory, or you haven't grasped the underlying philosophy behind it."
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "I don't think I'd care enough to learn about it."
๐— ๐—ฒ: "If you don't wish to know more about it, that's fine, just admit you were wrong."
๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ: "Okay SJW."
๐— ๐—ฒ: "Look bro, I'm just being pedantic. Call me a nerd, a know-it-all, but I ain't got nothing to do with SJWs. In fact I'll happily listen to critiques against CRT."

Sirius XM

Some wack music streaming service also dubbed "radio" that caters mainly towards middle-aged conservative Americans (i.e. none of those reading this definition).

I've noticed that many companies like to give away free Sirius XM subscriptions in exchange for trying out their products/services. But unless you're into classic rock or sports, it's worth absolutely nothing for those that fall outside its main demographic. Don't even think about trying it. Just use Spotify or TIDAL.
Friend 1: Hey I bought a PS5 and they gave me 3 months of Sirius XM for free, you want it?
Friend 2: Ew no, that's like Spotify but for boomers

Dementia

The best response to anything and everything that seems unhealthy, including laziness/sedentary lifestyle.
Person 1: Omg you gotta try out this freakshake!! They put a whole ass cake on your shake!!
Person 2: Uhh no thanks, that sounds like a recipe for diabetes, and dementia.

Guy 1: Hey man wanna chill at my place and get stoned af?

Guy 2: Nah I'll pass, I don't wanna raise my risk of dementia

User 1: Do you play league?

User 2: Does it look like I want dementia?

Default skin

Somebody who is enlightened with the truth that spending money on a game is merely a flex and doesn't automatically make you a pro

bish

Wlile bish may sound like a more friendlier version of bitch, do not be mistaken, as this word actually means "a mistake or blunder" in British vernacular. So the next time you say bish, you are actually calling them a mistake.
Some girl: Heyyy bish!!!
British girl: Wtf, did you just call me a mistake?

His/Her

Imagine making a big fuss about a pair of pronouns. It's a gender-neutral reference to the third-person singular, and that's all there is to it. Some people may say "his/her" instead of "their" as that's what they're used to, just like how some people may choose to say "buy" instead of "purchase". And that's A-okay.

And to be fair, this is mostly used in more formal speech or text, such as an essay or a legislative document. Obviously you're not gonna say this in casual dialogue (again, no problems if you choose to do so).
Me: ChatGPT, can you help me make an example of "his/her" used in a sentence?

ChatGPT: Certainly! Here's an example of "his/her" used in a sentence:
"In the course syllabus, it says that each student should bring his/her own textbook to the class."
