@ginaintheburg @thejfreakinc It is my opinion that it is not illegal arrest but abduction.

And it is my opinion that you are whitewashing, bagatelizing and euphemizing their behaviour by calling it "illegally arresting" and "detained" instead of "abducting", and helping the perpetrators, siding with them and standing on their side and betraying the victim by doing so.

Would you say that a rapist abductor murderer "illegally arrested" and "detained" a woman or would you say that he "abducted" her?

I analyse language policing demanded in a video that crossed my feed.🧐

This woman calls out corporate media for soft-pedalling charges against alleged culprits and victims, or as she insists, rapists and children. Her request is not neutral.

I can see that.

Not sure I'm meant to see that but I can anyway.

It's a bit more subtle than, "Baby can I park my red hot rocket in your love garage" a la Surrey Hills 1985 but still blatant.

What a #euphemism: “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment."

Everybody from now on should start using "kinetic anomaly" for pretty much every unexpected event.

"You're late.
Sorry, the bus experienced a kinetic anomaly."

"And then, suddenly, 66 million years ago, all the dinosaurs experienced a kinetic anomaly."

"Don’t give a f#@&" – give an...e.l.f.? A new ad slogan plays on a popular sweary idiom. @Fritinancy takes a look: https://stronglang.wordpress.com/2025/11/21/dont-give-a-f/

"Clusterbleep". Not its first use, but a notable one from an Irish politician https://www.thejournal.ie/barry-cowen-clusterbleep-gavin-6872025-Nov2025/

A quotation from George Carlin

The fanatics have another name for fetuses. They call them the pre-born. Now we’re getting creative. If you accept pre-born, I think you would have to say that, at the moment of birth, we go instantly from being pre-born to being pre-dead. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Technically, we’re all pre-dead.

George Carlin (1937-2008) American comedian
Book (2004), When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, “Euphemisms: Political-Interest Groups,” “A Bunny in the Oven?”

Yes, refineries do need repairs after Ukraine blows them up.

But they don’t want to admit that. ⛽️💥

New #euphemism:

"X strikes a #deal with #Trump (administration)".

Translation:
X totally submits to Krasnov's ridiculous demands while gaining absolutely nothing in return (as if any guarantee made by #Krasnov ever had meant anything in the first place).

Examples:
"Ukraine strikes weapons deal with Trump."
"Ursula von der Leyen strikes tariff deal with Trump."

Today's #euphemism: "running errands" for "going home to take a nap".
