Heartiste sends me scrambling to Urbandictionary all the time.

RE: Does The Manosphere Have A Secret "Anti-Language"
I think what we do sometimes would be better classified as insider jokes ,rather than an actual anti-language.

From QC's original post:

Quote:From London to Timbuktu, there is a teeming underworld of rebellious “anti-societies” who speak a mercurial, ever-changing code. Their words are, quite literally, gobbledygook designed to confuse authority.

We are not like gays, or trannies or feminists, who are finally true subcultures that cannot really survive without a dominant culture to get things done for them so they can live in comfort in their little circle on the fringes. Everything we talk about is with an eye to finding out what is true and actual. We are not trying to rationalize away the bullshit of our opinions or our lives.

Making up your own language that no one else knows is a juvenile impulse, like when a fourth grader walks up to a kid she hates and says, "I really like you a lot," and then laughs when the kid believes it, thinking, "Ha ha, I really hate you."

This is the strategy of the weak who know they are weak, and they are coping with it by coming up with weird rituals and words to make themselves feel better in an absolute parody of exclusivity.

Yeah, you are so exclusive that no one wants to be you.

I don't have to use the word hamster, I use it because I find it endlessly entertaining even now. I like the creativity of expressions like crybully or chick crack or doggy dinner bowl eyes. None of them are necessary at all.

Instead of hamster, you could simply say: Men reason, women rationalize.

In fact, you could even reduce most of the Red Pill or Neomasculinity down to a couple of sentences. You could say something like:

Men use their reason to figure out the right thing to do. Women do the wrong thing, and try to rationalize it as right.

We don't create expressions and concepts in order to obfuscate. We create them to entertain ourselves and each other as we figure out together what's what.
