alternative facts

A term that REALLY just fucking means lies, but thanks to postmodernism, we're not allowed to call them that anymore, because everyone's viewpoint is equally valid, there is no such thing as a false narrative, and everyone is entitled to their own personal reality.

You say the sun is made of hydrogen and helium, I say it's made of whale farts and silly string! Those are my alternative facts! Nobody is right or wrong, there is no such thing as objectivity, we have to respect everyone's viewpoint!

Libertarian

An edgy conservative who likes to smoke weed.

Larry Libertarian believes that workers have no rights, taxation is theft, racial discrimination should be legal, regulations that protect clean air and water should be rolled back, and everything else that a Republican believes...but he wants to legalize the marijuana, so all the 20-somethings think he's cool.

praxis

A word that extremely-online Marxists and tankies like to use, that no normal person knows or cares what the fuck means.

Some edgy communist online started mumbling some shit about praxis and the finer points of Bolshevism vs. Trotskyism, and I told him to go outside.

spirituality

A term that means absolutely nothing at all, but that people claim to practice when they want to sound deep, and mystically wise, but it's not RELIGION, they would never practice anything so crass and gauche as RELIGION, of course, they want to let you know that they're not like those silly God-botherers, no, THEY just engage in the exact type of magical thinking as religious followers, but don't even have the "God" excuse to fall back on.

Dumbass: Ever since I fucked up my life, I've decided to begin practicing spirituality. I'm not religious, I'm spiritual.
Rational Person: What the fuck does that even mean?

patzer

In chess circles, a bad chess player. Often, but not always, an opponent who is not only much worse than you, but actively pisses you off with poor sportsmanship, bad manners at the board (or online), or just general dumbassery.

Keep in mind, patzerism is relative. Everyone is a patzer to someone better. A person who casually plays chess is a patzer to even someone with a basic knowledge of tactics. That person is a patzer to a decent club player. The decent club player is a patzer to the club champion. The club champion is a patzer to Alexandra Botez. Alex is a patzer to Levy Rozman. Levy is a patzer to even a mediocre GM. Every other human being alive is a patzer to Magnus Carlsen, and Magnus is a patzer to Stockfish.

This patzer got his queen out on move 2, coughed in his hands and then touched my pieces immediately afterward, and then offered me a draw after he hung his queen. What a dumbass.

virtue signaling

Something conservatives accuse liberals of doing any time they show any virtue at all.

This person told me I should be nice to gay people, I'm so sick of this virtue signaling!
