Thank you for your answer! I remember that someone was following me, but if you say so, I am likely wrong. — Always learning 6 hours ago

It’s time to retire the term “rep-whore” by Jaydles on meta.stackexchange.com

user315433

I remember that "whore" on its own makes a comment auto-nukable, but not sure about rep-whore and repwhore variants.

user315433

Tested: "rep-whore(s)" works.

"whoring" doesn't qualify, though... oops.

now just bundle up your last three messages and post them as an answer

user202362

I know you are doing this out of good will, but I really think this world should be run by people who have a very realistic & accurate view

yes, and then those people should separated off into ministries

I can already imagine four useful ones that come to mind

user315433

"repwhore" without hyphen also works for auto-nuke.

Are goats a protected class?

I'd guess the same applies for goats?

List of goat dishes

This is a list of goat dishes, which use goat meat as a primary ingredient. Goat meat is the meat of the domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus). It is often called chevon or mutton when the meat comes from adults, and cabrito, capretto, or kid when from young animals. Worldwide, goat meat is less widely consumed than pork, beef, and poultry. == Goat dishes == Birria Cabrito – roast goat kid Chakna Chivito Curry goat Dhansak Goat meat pepper soup Goat roti Hyderabadi biryani Isi ewu – a traditional Igbo dish that is made with a goat's head.

Birria

Birria(Spanish: [ˈbirja]) is a Mexican dish from the state of Jalisco. The dish is a spicy stew, traditionally made from goat meat or mutton, but occasionally from beef or chicken. The dish is often served at celebratory occasions, such as weddings and baptisms, and holidays, such as Christmas and Easter. It is also reputed as a hangover remedy. Preparation techniques vary, but the dish is often served with corn tortillas, onion, and lime. Traditionally, the meat is marinated in adobo spices. == In Mexican culture == Restaurants or street carts that serve birria are known as birrierias and exist...

@Telkitty Awwww cute!

@ᴡᴏʀᴅs Do I care actually??

user315433

3:04 AM

One reason to not do that is that on meta, things get argued over. Docs format can't really support that.

user315433

Not that meta format works well, but...

And of course I'm not a goat at any ways.

@ᴡᴏʀᴅs Wow, you got the point!! Where should I send the beer, gimme your physicall address pls.

@ᴡᴏʀᴅs That's been a long time in coming. IIRC, they had a fairly active user quit over it.

At least I'm not the only one to make that particular mistake. Even if I did provide a template for others to follow in doing so :-/

user315433

3:23 AM

I remember their top user quitting, but that seemed to be for a different reason.

Well, for everyone who's interested: This hits my point very well. Though besides making just fun I have my serious points (undercover, like an exhibitionist waiting for their chance)

Booh!!!

user315433

I dislike lazy questions, but I dislike repetitive, trivial questions even more... and in the environment of mass-closing the former, the latter end up with a fitness advantage.

@Downgoat where's your ranch located, I am sure he can come to you (and bring adobo sauce) if it's not too far

@ᴡᴏʀᴅs Wasn't really repetitive, but transformed to something else.

@Telkitty Gathering up for some Lamb barbecue? I'll slaughter a goat to contribute. Is that Okey?

user202362

you need a goat/sheep to start with

user202362

3:32 AM

and that goat seems to be running far, far away ...

@Telkitty Well, I'm usually not falling into that category, ya know ;)

Neither slaughtering goats is my daily businees

@Telkitty Cabrito!

I've got some kittens here in a jute bag, some advice what to do now?

Have their batteries run out?

Should I drown them, or feed some whiskers?

3:40 AM

I giggled: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/329919/2357233

@tchrist Natural beings don't run on batteries, but alcohol or such stuff ...

Bacchus gotcher tongue?

@πάνταῥεῖ Do...... do you want the kittens to live?

Please don't kill @bjb568 that's illegal

@JamesENL I'm currently with Erwin Schrödinger a bit, but may be there's another way out.

user202362

@πάνταῥεῖ I am all suspicious on how you have obtained the bag in the first place ...

I like the Star Trek ping sound here, really amused.

@Telkitty They've being left to me from a goats stampede recently :)

user202362

I would suggest that you feed them so you can use them as heaters in winter

@Telkitty Bringing in kittens smoothes thingz on the interwebz, ya know :P

That reminds me of the cat in the Cat backpack thing. Poor cat

3:48 AM

@tchrist Cats like boxes, that's a thing I know for sure!

@Downgoat And where's teh kitten now actually?

@Downgoat That's a broad face actually :)

@Downgoat Could you try keeping on-topic please? You know what satire means actually? It's mean, but subtle and even worse than plain mean.

Most incompetence is caused by trying too hard to improve others while neglecting yourself.

And of course, by "improve others" I mean "drink"

Trying to figure out if those musings are meant to "improve others" or just musings...

@Shog9 Cheers!

@Emrakul I have a hunch that bringing awareness might actually trigger the Streisand effect which could actually increase its usage. It's not like everyone knows what the term is. It's mostly localized to long-time users. But if you try to massively publicize it (like in the title of a post)... well... — Mysticial 2 hours ago

Hmm, this is an interesting dilemma. On one hand, you increase awareness of why a term should be avoided. On the other hand, you increase awareness of the term -- and there's always those folks out there who will begin to use said term.

Former probably outweighs the latter though.

@Shog9 Have you ever rent out of a house and tenant is more than 2 weeks in arrear? Have you ever paid nearly $2000 for a certificate, and the people took a month extra time because they have stuffed up their own documents, only admit to their mistakes afterwards. Have you ever dealed with bureaucracy that tells you that if you lodge an application for a new electricity account, you HAVE to take the old one down and use a new meter

even though the old one is working and if you are not applying for a new account, you can still use the old one?
