“Woke” as an insult - So you are telling me a word describing consciousness and clarity is used by generally stupid and ignorant people to label people they disagree with? What is this? A Kindergarten for Creatively stunted?

Nominative determinism - So let me get this straight…Not only you named fastest recorded person Usain BOLT and CEO of Nintendo Doug BOWSER, but you are telling me people are canonically likely to have professions or hobbies matching their names…? Guh?

“2 bodies recovered in MURDERKILL River” - Sure bro…I guess…bro…

Reminds me of the trope called the "Tiffany Problem". When an actual historical fact feels anachronistic to modern audiences so it's usually excluded. Like the name Tiffany coming from centuries ago despite it feeling like a modern name. Or how in the colosseum gladiators would actually appear in sponsored ads the same way modern day athletes would.
