Another great example of this is when companies advertise they are hiring "Rockstars". Name your fav examples of words that have lost their meaning.
No when I say I want a goblin I mean I need a woman who is three feet tall, green, and has huge pointy ears, who can regale me with riddles when she's not complaining about tricksy hobbitses
Honey, what's wrong? You've barely eaten your cave maggots and fluorescent mushrooms
It's nothing baby I was just thinking about the ancient Ayleids :sicko-wistful:
Hacker/hacking: Fuck off, writing shitty Facebook PHP code is NOT fucking hacking, god dammit
the guy who decided "you're a hack" was actually a compliment: :up-yours-woke-moralists:
Gonna have to call the real thing ogre mode instead :shrek-troll:
I promise that my ogre mode is not something anyone would find attractive.
what is the "Goblin Mode" dating strategy and I am accidentally already doing it?
I'd wager a guess it's like presenting yourself as openly cringe and it's successful because you more quickly find somebody you get along with. It sounds like bullshit clickbait and I'd never bother to confirm if it's anything else. I recommend you take my interpretation of the headline and join me in not bothering to check
My ex had a suspicion that Winston Rowntree is a pseudonym used by a woman.
She said that Winston's observations about sexual/romantic relationships between women are too on-point for them to be a man.
you've made me want to rewatch it maybe i'll take this theory into account :comfy-cool:
also fuck Cracked for being a place that used to produce shit like that. fuck that buy-out killing all the cool it had
I mean they're sorta trying to rebuild that, but everyone who used to work there is in a far better position now.
And while they have a crew, they don't interact with each other the way old Cracked staff did.
excellent. my collection of dirt, rocks, feathers, and animal bones is sure to be a hit.
Whuzzup choom, cracking into death wheels my homeslice? I can dig it
This is your slang needs to be used for the most egregious reasons. No editor at NBC is going to write an article entitled “Why Zoomer Soyjaks Are Resisting Wage Cuckoldry”
As a Harry Potter fan, when I say Goblin Mode - I mean only dating Jewish women and bringing them bagels and cream cheese.
Breaking up with a short Romanian dude by giving him one of my socks.
Normal everyday living
E.g. being too tired to tidy up your home every day
lmao i have been single for literal years, and i never allow anyone into my house without having cleaned the place thoroughly. Apparently i've been doing it wrong.
I mean, I've had people over with some unfolded laundry out or some dishes soaking in the sink
Which I guess is the difference between Goblin mode and being Mr. Clean I suppose
It doesn't mean anything, Juniper made a fake headline that stated (paraphrasing) "Julia Fox opened up about her relationship with Kanye: He didn't like it when I went 'goblin mode'" (the joke is that the reader is left hanging about what going goblin mode on Kanye even means), and it shoot up from there. Baffles me that it latched on, but I guess people intuit it means "slovenly" I suppose.
Literally just an algorithm doing find-and-replace against a template headline with whatever was trending six months ago. This isn't even co-opting so much as it is a glorified regex command allowed to run wild.
I thought goblin mode was like, ripping off your shirt, going tits out and not giving a fuck, which might be good dating strategy i suppose.
How's he gonna know if you're into him if you dont let out a primal scream and eat all the appetizers.
They actually have a rule at this restaurant that you can't eat all of the fully loaded nachos if you're sharing the plate. You have to share
Tired of all these cob nobblers and lamestains horking our shit
