Add me to the list that had no clue it was a derogatory term towards transgenders. I’ve only known it to be used to describe people who get offended by literally everything, want everything for free and thinks the government needs to take care of everyone. Seems to get thrown around improperly in political debates when someone runs out of substance and then resorts to personal insults.

Rocker Failure? On cars that aren't 2013s and 2014s? Does that even still happen anymore?

42K+ posts and 4 years on this forum, you should know better than to be using language like that. A definition of a "snowflake" is:

"US, informal disapproving an insulting word for a gay person:
Example: Once again, a Facebook troll called me a snowflake."

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/...lish/snowflake

It's nice to know that the gay community is hated in this forum. This kind of bad behavior has destroyed bloging sites when all advertisers pulled their advertisements because of things like this.

Not in my 75 years have I heard THAT definition of a "snowflake" - :iono:

It's the snowflake definition of snowflake.

The only nail you hit on the head is the one that outs you as a biggot. You couldn't even come up with a website quote of a real dictionary site, you had to find an obscure definition from "the urban dictionary"?

Nice try to pass this off as a "I didn't know that it meant that". That's like saying the N word really means your Nigerian. Your so full of it. "Reign in the indignation and sense of offense" to try to turn this into something else? Only a bigot would say that.

Lets see...the urban dictionary says that the N word definition is
"A fully grown nigglet
Look at how fast that nigglet grew up. He's a N..ger now"

By your logic, I guess you can use the N word in the forum too and use urban dictionary to feign ignorance. It doesn't mean that in Canada!! Don't be offended.

Even if your local area in Canada uses the word this way, you can't be dumb enough to not know it's used in a derogatory way against transgender and gay people in the U.S. and other countries. Just be a man and apologize to the gay/lesbian/transgenders that are too scared to say something and move on.

I do a lot of business in the gay community and they are the most picked on group on the planet. They are the most loyal clients out of all the clients I have. If my wife and I get invited to a gay bar, we are not called names and harassed because we are a straight couple in a gay bar . On the other hand, I've seen my clients being called snowflakes for no other reason than the person saying it is a piece of crap and it sickens me.

Btw, 42K of posts and you don't think the forum rules apply to you?
1) Respect. By far the most important rule here. Basic rules of real life apply here - show each other respect and you will get respect as well. Don't bash someone else here because you feel like it. Disrespectful, derogatory or insulting attitudes or remarks will not be tolerated. This applies to all corners of the site - including posts, profile visitor messages, and thread tags.

3) Disagree, don't attack. Disagree on topics, but try to leave it at that. Just because you don't like someones opinion on the car's engine, doesn't mean you should call him and his mother all sorts of names. Debates are always welcome, but don't go out of your way to insult and flame someone. Please consider if you would say to someone's face the same thing you are posting.

4) Help. Be helpful, we are all probably here because of a question and people will go out of their way to help you. Try to do the same if you have the answer to a question posted. True enthusiasts are helpful to others, noob or veteran alike. If you think not telling others about some technical info you have will make you and your car unique and prefer to be unique rather than share this information, then this forum is not for you. Help each other with questions and answers and I guarantee you, one day it will pay you back on here.

You totally ignore the first definition to say I used it as the second. Your reference is the ONLY place I can find that uses it that way. I did not know but will continue to use it in the context that it is commonly recognized.
I am not apologizing to any community because I have not insulted any community. You have tried to twist the use of one word into something totally different . That is on you not me.
You cite the rules and then proceed to break just about all of them in the same post. Yet another sign you are a true snowflake.

Hmmmm not a single reference as a derogatory term for any sexual orientation.
Pretty accurate description of how I used it though.

"but the meaning at first was a bit softer, referring mostly to millennials who were allegedly too convinced of their own status as special and unique people to be able (or bothered) to handle the normal trials and travails of regular adult life".

The only difference I would give it is that I would not say specifically millennials but it applies to any and all people that think they are somehow special and have such delicate constitutions that they cry as soon as anybody disagrees with them.

man why can't we have an Annual Clown Contest each year where we vote for our favorite posters through a single elimination draw....guess I miss menstennisforums :(

OP probably has the best collection of posted threads out of any '18 member.

Different forum with different regulars these days. Not sure it would go over as well now.

Why not just go to the gas station when your empty light is on, and idle till it runs out of gas? Then you could fill it with whatever and flash the tune.

This is not good for the fuel pump, but since you're getting some warranty work done anyway might as well throw that into the mix too.

It was an example.
