Jose, you ungrateful cur! I spent a good 6 minutes making that avatar! And insult to injury, the replacement is a stylized J with a non-transparent background!??!!? Now I know I'm being trolled.

Sugarpie! I've kept it for so long. I agree, that the stylized J is pretty crappy, and I will seek something better.

btw you dabble in words like an artist dabbles in oils. I love the use of cur here, an alternative way of calling me a ***** that no else has thought of. Imma use this!

If anyone can offer an avatar that you suspect would be "chop approved" please send via dm.

Mine is from a pretty famous album.

I mean, you can say that, but it's still indiscernible.

If you know the album you'll recognise it immediately from the avatar.

Nice. Does it piss you off that people always use it wrong? It pisses me off that the way people use it wrong makes more sense than the real meaning.

at this point, due to nonstop incorrect usage, the current meaning has now changed to become the previously wrong meaning

which should absolutely piss you off

IMO the phrase 'begging the question' is a very poor name for the logical fallacy where the conclusion is assumed as one of the premises of an argument.

When you have to move to the right to stay on the freeway you're already on. Bull****. Stay on my freeway should always be left.

If I understand that one correctly it's pretty backwards and should definitely piss you off.

If I start suddenly get super trolly people are going to call an ambulance differently to when Rexx does that.

Hard for me to imagine me posting “girls are dumb and clueless” unless I am specifically and expressly referring to one person in particular who still owes me an insightful summary of basic cosmology.

What is the current but incorrect usage? I understand it to mean an argument that assumes it’s own truth.

As in, "the fact that Bob paid $8K for a wheelie board not only shows that he's an idiot, it also begs the question 'where did that loser get the $8K in the first place?'"

I feel like this should piss us off. They're almost certainly walking right down the middle of the bike path too.
