jerry921 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 larf is the phonetic spelling of the way some Englishmen of low social status and education mispronounce "laugh". The poster probably doesn't actually pronounce it that way when speaking, but wrote it that way to emphasize the lowness of the humor available here. It's not a word that would be necessarily understood by American speakers without guessing or googling. Aussies, who knows. Non-native speakers of course would be left in the dark, perhaps intentionally. I am unaware of any context in which calling someone a snowflake is complementary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate paying for the Badge The "Badge" is usually why people buy these things, much like wearing a Rolex or carrying a D & G bag. It says (or is supposed to say), "Look, I'm wealthy". But in most cases, it is the financier who they are indebted to who is actually wealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally, I had checked exactly that before I wrote my post, because I like to be sure of things I write. So I will assure you once again that you have indeed been put down (but not by me, it was that other guy lol): A term for someone that thinks they are unique and special, but really are not. It gained popularity after the movie "Fight Club" from the quote “You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else." Began being used extensively as a putdown for someone, usually on the political left, who is easily offended or felt they needed a "safe space" away from the harsh realities of the world, but now has morphed into a general putdown for anyone that complains about any subject.

Thanks! But further down on urban dictionary: A very sensitive person. Someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others. This has nothing to do with politics. Snowflakes can be liberal or conservative. Whether it is a compliment or an insult is a matter of opinion and depends on the context. I don't think that Samuel Smith ever read the urban dictionary or any dictionary. He certainly had the insult in mind. And probably it is more used in talking than writing. He simply wanted to sound sophisticated. But as I said, only myself can insult me! Edited July 24, 2018 by bermannor Addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury was a car made by Ford Motor Company from 1938 until 2010. They were nick named "Merc". In the west, we more commonly call Mercedes Benz "Benz" if we chose to shorten the name.

And in my younger, silly days, I had a 55, 56 and a 57 all at the same time. 57 had vette 350 LT1 with a little help, 350 turbo, tricked up transmission, Jag rear end. Wish I had the money now that I pissed away on these toys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
