tankhughes commented on the word match my freak
"Is anybody gonna match my freak?"
Nasty by Tinashe made this phrase pop up a lot this year. Often of heartwarming couples being the same type of weird together
Linguistically, it's an innovation to use "freak" like an abstract noun, the concept of someone's sexual fetishes, instead of describing a person as a freak, or as an adjective like in freak accident.

biafraland commented on the word BIGHT OF BIAFRA
Context : Biafraland , Biafra , Biafra Land , Biafra Territory , Bight of Biafra , Africa , Bight of Biafra , West Africa , Central Africa.
Definition of Biafraland : Biafraland is an Ancient , Sovereign , Multicultural , Transterritorial African Region - spanning (both) West Africa and Central Africa , mainly along the contour of the Bight of Biafra, which is an arm of the Gulf of Guinea , essentially stretching from the Niger River Delta in Nigeria , Through Douala in Cameroon , and all of the Way to Gabon via Equatorial Guinea (in addition to many other African Places).
Biafraland is far much bigger in size , in history , in culture (and in scope) than the (much smaller) Seccessionist Biafra Republic , (of General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu) , which only came into prominence during the period of the (1967 to 1970) Nigerian Civil War.
The Term "Biafraland" was originally coined by a Black European (Medical) Doctor of Biafran Heritage , Joseph Chikelue Obi , in December 1991 - after he personally felt that the previous aforementioned names ( "Bight of Biafra" and "Biafra" ) did not really do enough Justice to the Multicultural Nature of Region.
The Official Flag of Biafraland was also originally designed by Dr Joseph Chikelue Obi , in December 1991 - and , to date , is still the only Biafran Flag which tacitly recognizes the fact that Biafraland and the Federal Republic of Nigeria should "Closely Cooperate" with each other.
Out of almost 1000 (One Thousand) Tribal Dialects : 13 (Thirteen) of the Major Official Languages of Biafraland include Igbo , Izon , Efik , Ibibio , Fang , Fula, Pidgin , Camfranglais , Pichinglis , English , French, Spanish and Portuguese (among lots and lots of others).
Professor Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi currently serves as the State Counsellor of Biafraland.
ADDITIONAL (PUBLIC) INFORMATION ABOUT THE OFFICIAL STATE FLAG OF BIAFRALAND :
The Official State Flag of Biafraland is (PEACEFULLY) BASED on the Pan-African (Tricolour) Format of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League.
Apart from the MODIFIED TRICOLOUR CORE of Red, Black, and Green - There is also a Golden Yellow Rising Sun , a Solid Golden Yellow Bar , some Distinct Land Masses , plus a (Nigeria-Related) Peripheral (TRI-STRIPE) Border of Green , White and Green.
The name BIAFRALAND is conspicuously written on it - along with 3 Main Guiding Principles of PEACE , JUSTICE , PROGRESS.
Here are the Relevant (and Intended) Meanings of Each of the Various Colours (and Symbols) - in relation to The Official State Flag of Biafraland:
RED : Red is the Colour of the INTERNAL BLOOD which Flows through the Veins of Black Africans - As Per the Pan-African Tricolour Format of Marcus Garvey.
BLACK : Black is the Colour of the EXTERNAL DEMOGRAPHY which has Historically been used to Describe Black Africans - As Per the Pan-African Tricolour Format of Marcus Garvey.
GREEN : Green is the Colour of the FUTURE PROSPERITY which Black Africans are Still Working (Very) Hard to Achieve - As Per the Pan-African Tricolour Format of Marcus Garvey.
WHITE : White is the Universal Colour of FUTURE PEACE, FUTURE FAIRNESS AND FUTURE JUSTICE which Black Africans are Still Working (Very) Hard to Achieve.
GOLDEN YELLOW : Golden Yellow is the Colour of the FUTURE GLORY which Black Africans are Still Working (Very) Hard to Achieve.
GOLDEN YELLOW RISING SUN : The Golden Yellow Rising Sun is a HISTORICAL ACKNOWLEDGENT of the fact that Ancient Biafrans (MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO) were (AVID) "SUN-WORSHIPPERS".
SOLID GOLDEN YELLOW BAR : The Solid Golden Yellow Bar is an INDICATIVE ACKNOWLEDGENT of the fact that Biafraland still has quite a lot "HIDDEN TREASURES / NATURAL RESOURCES / GOLD BARS" - UNDERNEATH THE GROUND (Hence the ADDITIONAL Tiny Thin Black Strip OF EARTH between the Rising Golden Yellow Sun and the Solid Golden Yellow Bar).
Please be advised that Any VIOLENT (OR MILITANT) Interpretations of the Official State Flag of Biafraland are NOT AUTHORIZED by the Person who originally designed the aforementioned Official State Flag of Biafraland (i.e Doctor Joseph Chikelue Obi , in December 1991).

The Official State Flag of Biafraland is (PEACEFULLY) BASED on the Pan-African (Tricolour) Format of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League.
Apart from the MODIFIED TRICOLOUR CORE of Red, Black, and Green - There is also a Golden Yellow Rising Sun , a Solid Golden Yellow Bar , some Distinct Land Masses , plus a (Nigeria-Related) Peripheral (TRI-STRIPE) Border of Green , White and Green.
The name BIAFRALAND is conspicuously written on it - along with 3 Main Guiding Principles of PEACE , JUSTICE , PROGRESS.
Here are the Relevant (and Intended) Meanings of Each of the Various Colours (and Symbols) - in relation to The Official State Flag of Biafraland:
RED : Red is the Colour of the INTERNAL BLOOD which Flows through the Veins of Black Africans - As Per the Pan-African Tricolour Format of Marcus Garvey.
BLACK : Black is the Colour of the EXTERNAL DEMOGRAPHY which has Historically been used to Describe Black Africans - As Per the Pan-African Tricolour Format of Marcus Garvey.
GREEN : Green is the Colour of the FUTURE PROSPERITY which Black Africans are Still Working (Very) Hard to Achieve - As Per the Pan-African Tricolour Format of Marcus Garvey.
WHITE : White is the Universal Colour of FUTURE PEACE, FUTURE FAIRNESS AND FUTURE JUSTICE which Black Africans are Still Working (Very) Hard to Achieve.
GOLDEN YELLOW : Golden Yellow is the Colour of the FUTURE GLORY which Black Africans are Still Working (Very) Hard to Achieve.
GOLDEN YELLOW RISING SUN : The Golden Yellow Rising Sun is a HISTORICAL ACKNOWLEDGENT of the fact that Ancient Biafrans (MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO) were (AVID) "SUN-WORSHIPPERS".
SOLID GOLDEN YELLOW BAR : The Solid Golden Yellow Bar is an INDICATIVE ACKNOWLEDGENT of the fact that Biafraland still has quite a lot "HIDDEN TREASURES / NATURAL RESOURCES / GOLD BARS" - UNDERNEATH THE GROUND (Hence the ADDITIONAL Tiny Thin Black Strip OF EARTH between the Rising Golden Yellow Sun and the Solid Golden Yellow Bar).

Football (soccer) jargon: to play after having received a caution (yellow card), because another similar offence and a second yellow will equal a sending off (red card).

"Reminder: the term "echo chamber" was popularised by leaked 2003 memos on how PhRMA spent $1 million to create an "intellectual echo chamber of economists -- a standing network of economists and thought leaders to speak against federal price control regulations through articles and testimony.'" (with accompanying Google Ngram chart)

"It is so funny to me that all the chuds on Twitter literally have to self censor the world Bluesky in order to complain about it because they know that Twitter will suppress any mention of a competitor. A+ shit."
