Solid Mantis's definitions

Cam Newton

The day Cam Newton stopped having fun playing football was the day Cam Newton started thinking about winning and losing, and started blaming racism and all the outside stuff that didnt matter. Since racism doesnt define who and what somebody is, neither do slogans and phrases, or police incidents, even if theres a lot of focus on these things by the media. The media doesnt define all of what somebody is, it doesnt encapsulate somebody.

No team wants to lose, no team likes to lose, it's not human to enjoy losing. Still, theres not much of a point to winning if you're not having a good time, and when winning becomes more important to you than having a good time, youre missing the point of it all. The point is not to win sometimes, it's how you got to where you're going that you go back to if you get lost, or lose sight of what you were once trying to (or succeeding at) do(ing). People in Carolina didnt want to see Cam Newton go, but he did have a choice, he wasnt left with no choice.

False shark

One way you know people that say that they are sharks are not sharks is sharks don't try to run off other animals. Sharks can also swim without the use of tanks and scuba diving apparatus, that's another way you know that people aren't like sharks, even if they claim to be.

He/she must have been in a silly mood when he/she claimed to be a shark, but nobody thought he/she wasn't a false shark when he/she made the claim.

Infravert

These people are sensed as heat rather than seen and heard. Out of sight out of mind? Not at all, people can tell they are not alone, but they cannot prove it to themselves.

The house down the street growing up was not haunted. The man who lived there was just an infravert, that's all.

Dexter holland

A guy from Orange County that makes fun of kids from somewhere like Omaha for wearing Fubu or listening to rap music, but has dreadlocks in his own hair.

I was one of those kids that thought Dexter Holland wrote the song Pretty Fly for a white guy about himself until recently. He just seems like a poser who tries to make fun of posers in real life, even if you would think he was a badass from his lyrics.

Senior officer

What both officers in the Minneapolis area killings were, they weren't new guys.

It doesn't seem to be any coincidence that both officers getting nailed to a cross, as some would call it, are senior officers and not newcomers.

Double standards

Asking other people an endless amount of questions to keep them from questioning you is trying to set expectations of them higher than you want them to set theirs for you (a double standard).

The girl could see and desperately try to pick at everyone's double standards but her own.

Machiavellian princess

A manly princess. Not to be confused with a true tomboy that does things guys do, a Machiavellian princess appears/seems to be a tomboy or like a tomboy on the surface, but is actually excessively masculine by nature, and someone you would think would have had a sex change by now, but hasn't done so only for fear of the social stigma. A Machiavellian princess is called a Machiavellian princess in the same way an effeminate prince is called Machiavellian, she is the female version of a Reptilian effeminate prince.

The Machiavellian princess wants everybody back in line.
