normal people call movies movies. people obsessed with movies call them films.

normal people call lego lego. people obsessed with lego call it bricks.

normal people call guns guns. people obsessed with guns call them firearms.

why are obsessed people so autistic and have to use special words for their hobby? i think the only sane people are skiers cause we literally just call it skiing, just like anyone else.
 
Oh yeah? What do you call it when you ski backward? Normal people call if backward. Obsessed people call it switch.

Your argument sucks.

yea but that's a specific thing within skiing. of course people use proper words for specific things.

but skiing in general is just skiing.

and the thing is, normal people don't even know what switch means in the context of skiing. which is why they call it backward. but normal people DO know that film means movie, but they still use the word movie. normal people DO know that firearm means gun, but they still use the word gun.

and impressing girls is pretty much the only reason to ski switch, and if you use the word switch then they know you are probably a real skier and not a poser cause a poser would just say backwards.

did you ever ski switch and then ask a girl out and she said no? I bet not, cause no girl will ever turn you down if you ski switch.
 
I'm obsessed with guns and I call them guns.

But if we're talking mags, and you call it a clip. You're a fudd or a retard or both.

Can’t have a secret club without a secret password. If you don’t know the password, you can’t be in the club.

well good for you, if you have friends who also obsessed with guns, if they ever call them "firearms" then you should call them autistic

It’s not a firearm it’s a “weapon system.”

Tbh I love that term lol.

Also, "primary" and "secondary" if you're carrying a rifle and sidearm.

a gun is just a weapon, not a weapon SYSTEM. a weapon system is something like a starship with a bunch of laser cannons on it, and batteries powering those laser cannons, because it is a whole SYSTEM of stuff

I became aware of this at work. One of my coworkers a few cubes over just randomly blew up and was like “God Dammit Tony if you refer to AR build as a weapon system one more god damn time I am never talking to you again!”
 
A very small minority of people say "movie" in Europe but either way I'm not entirely sure what ur point is... a film is a movie, they literally mean the same thing

normal people call it a grilled cheese, i call it a melt

A grilled cheese consists of only these following items. Cheese. Bread with spread (usually butter). This entire subreddit consist of "melts". Almost every "grilled cheese" sandwich i see on here has other items added to it. The fact that this subreddit is called "grilledcheese" is nothing short of utter blasphemy. Let me start out by saying I have nothing against melts, I just hate their association with sandwiches that are not grilled cheeses. Adding cheese to your tuna sandwich? It's called a Tuna melt. Totally different. Want to add bacon and some pretentious bread crumbs with spinach? I don't know what the hell you'd call that but it's not a grilled cheese. I would be more than willing to wager I've eaten more grilled cheeses in my 21 years than any of you had in your entire lives. I have one almost everyday and sometimes more than just one sandwich. Want to personalize your grilled cheese? Use a mix of different cheeses or use sourdough or french bread. But if you want to add some pulled pork and take a picture of it, make your own subreddit entitled "melts" because that is not a fucking grilled cheese. I'm not a religious man nor am I anything close to a culinary expert. But as a bland white mid-western male I am honestly the most passionate person when it comes to grilled cheese and mac & cheese. All of you foodies stay the hell away from our grilled cheeses and stop associating your sandwich melts with them. Yet again, it is utter blasphemy and it rocks me to the core of my pale being. Shit, I stopped lurking after 3 years and made this account for the sole purpose of posting this. I've seen post after post of peoples "grilled cheeses" all over reddit and it's been driving me insane. The moment i saw this subreddit this morning I finally snapped. Hell, I may even start my own subreddit just because I know this one exists now.

You god damn heretics. Respect the grilled cheese and stop changing it into whatever you like and love it for it what it is. Or make your damn melt sandwich and call it for what it is. A melt.

If I ever heard a car person refer to something as "autos" I would think they mean they have an automatic transmission.

-a car guy
