A Beginner's Guide to Tumblrisms -

[R.A.E.L.]

The biggest ones have already been mentioned, but what the hell.

I can't - A shortened version of "I can't handle this." Used when a Tumblrite is overly emotional about something.

My precious child/son/daughter - AKA "I love this character because they're cute."

Trash - Someone hated or judged for their questionable actions.

Inspired by recent threads:

KMS -- Kill myself. Standard boiler-plate attention whoring of tumblrites. The appropriate response is DIF (Do It Faggot).
KYS -- Kill yourself. This is totally not an abuse because they respect your triggers, though this phrase remains problematic because it assumes everyone answers to the pronoun yourself.

Added.

KMS/KYS: Kill Myself/Yourself. Appropriate response to someone who disagrees with you.

Fuckboy/Fuccboi- The new neckbeard/shitlord. Basically a male who is "gross" and not a quirky harmless attractive white guy.
Surprisingly enough, I've heard that fuckboy is actually an offensive slur, but feminism said it's okay!!

People who call their favorite characters that make me nauseous. Also, some call their faves "trash baby" and "garbage child"

People who call their favorite characters that make me nauseous.

What if they're just saying it ironically?

What if they're just saying it ironically?

I've seen plenty of people saying it unironically too, but you're probably right. It just sounds so mushy to me.

So they finally realized that shitlord sounded utterly retarded and replaced it with something even dumber. . .

I can't imagine calling my favorite character or my favorite actors or my friends trash or garbage. That's just mean.

Spoiler

That is only for me to use on myself like the fucking sad, nerd trash that I am.

Tumblrspeak is irritating. It's overly sweet and ingenuine sounding -- like a middle-aged woman talking to a small child or a mentally disabled person.

I'm not a fan of the superfluous "ok but." You could remove that phrase from any given Tumblr post and it wouldn't change a single thing.

How have 10 pages gone by with not a single mention of Tumblr's absolute favorite word queer?

Queer can be used to refer to almost anything! Cis girl who thought a girl was pretty once? Queer! Heteroromantic heterosexual grey-bisensual maybe? Uwu. Straight cis college guy who rapes women at frat parties but can't hold down a relationship? You're not a sociopath, you're just heterosexual aromantic and queer just like that kid you assaulted last week. People who are not in nuclear families are queer. Straight girls with pixie cuts are queer. Hell, your dog is queer. Uwu.

In a world where everyone is queer, no one will be.

How about adding the most prevalent genders?
nan0gender: Mostly something else, but slightly boy or girl
demigender: Half something else, half boy or girl
magigender: Slightly something else, mostly boy or girl

I had no idea what the differences were for a while; turns out that IDCP invented magigender and explained it in a helpful post (I think it was on the softcisphobia url).

Every time I've heard the term fuckboi in real life, it was girls referring to a promiscuous attractive (usually effeminate) guy they were dreaming about molesting.

Crytyping: Purposely terrible typing meant to suggest the Tumblrina is either crying so hard they can't read the keyboard, or shaking because they're panicking after being triggered. Used to solicit asspats and/or weasel your way out of being called out on being a dick.

Receipt blog: A blog whose content consists of screenshots and other pieces of evidence to showcase someone's bad behavior. Usually they are made by former friends of the blog subject and are created to warn others not to associate with the person.

BYF: Before You Follow; essentially rules you must abide by in order to follow the person's blog.

Notably, it is usually immediately followed by a series of perfectly spelled tags.

You get called a fuckboi a lot, then?
