JellyKnees Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 1 hour ago, PaulWarning said: the fact that Snowflakes get upset by being called Snowflakes proves the point doesn't it? Sticks and stones and all that Nah, it's just a pathetic cliched insult thrown around by (usually) right wing pseudo-macho keyboard warrior types in a fit of pique at their inability to deal with the rapidly changing modern world, which they perceive as threatening their way of life, their fragile little egos, and ultimately their complete lack of self worth. It probably gives them a little frisson of excitement when the say it, they may even become mildly aroused and as they verbally lay into someone they perceive as being less tough than them, in the same way they probably enjoyed pulling the wings off flies when they were an unhappy child. That's the problem I have with it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthurhenry Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 People who use the term "snowflake" probably also say "Twenty four seven" (5 syllables) instead of "All the time" (3) and refer to inanimate objects as "bad boys". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem I have with it. Oddly enough all the people I know who use the term (and by extension go on long protracted rants about soft lefties and how we need to take our country back etc.) are usually overweight middle aged blokes who couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag and would be blowing out of their @rse running up a flight of stairs. Maybe the hyper-macho posturing is compensating for something? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
