Omg, you are part of the conspiracy! I just don't like that it's on everything from trucks, which is okay, to SUVs, to crappy compacts, etc. Shows how lockstep all the companies are that the color just popped up en masse in a single year. Dark metallic blue and various shades of darker flat blue were the prior hip colorways before slate, and darker metallic orange shades before that. It's weird to see a truck w/ big tires that isn't festooned w/ MAGA crap. There's a dude who stays in my closest grox store's lot far in the boonies w/ the other homeless folk, so I'm assuming he's one, too. He has a MAGA flag on the back of his sh and plays right-wing radio while milling about on foot at the tailgate w/ other militia chums, I guess. Makes me nervous when he's there because I don't know if that's the day he's gonna go in and shoot up the place. This is one store where the mask mandate lift might be a good thing. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

210) infarction. Or as Ton' Soprano called it, "an in-farc-whateva-da-foq". They really suck beyond the word itself. They can result in cardiac tamponade.
hahaha I never realized how dirty you feel when that word is said out loud
If you're fortunate enough that a consenting adult of sound mind and free will lets you to touch her very-personal accoutrements, you probably don't want to remark about how you love to do so using that particular word. There's no way that won't sound weird. And definitely don't say it in a creepy clown voice like I did. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
Antelope is the antecedent to eloping. What you do before eloping. Cantaloupe means you cannot elope. El Guapo is IN-famous, meaning MORE than famous. C M B uses the term "mope". Mopery is exposing yourself to a blind person as defined in Revenge Of The Nerds 1. Cop: "We're charging him with Mopery." Just FYI. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

"Peacekeeping Mission"
... because apparently anyone involved in one will either be shattering the peace that already exists or inserting themselves into a situation where the peace has already been broken.
Sorry, Jeopardy. Potable w/ a long O no less. Derivation of that word has to be wacky. Potent Potables is a hard category for me, too, maybe that's why I dislike the word. I'm not extremely worldly on booze, tho I did get the joke in Airplane! about Ted Striker in his Navy days being stationed off the coast of Drambuie. None of the Millenns who post reaction videos to Airplane! understand that reference. They also don't get the Ethel Merman part. Ethel was a reference for old people even in 1980. And, of course, June Cleaver speaking jive doesn't compute. They need the baseline info on Leave It To Beav.
"This area is irrigated by non-potable water." Maybe Tom Cotton should've asked KBJ if she knew the percentage of people who have drunk graywater from public sprinkler heads, especially those that irrigate spider plants on the hills along freeways. That's where you see non-potable signs the most. Judge Brown-Jackson, do you know the percentage of people who drink non-potable water on the sides of busy freeways? _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

205.) "boots on the ground" especially in non-military references
201) warfighter
It's the modern version of soldier. It popped up out of nowhere a few years ago and is being used to near 100% levels to replace any other word such as solider. It's one of those rarely used terms/words like hanging chad, parsing (as w/ Billy C), doubling down or tranche that got used the first time and were instantly adopted by all other people talking into microphones. I think it might be used to refer to any US military actually in action, but wiki just says it refers to members of an army. Wiki is never wrong.
200) theater
Theater of war. It's one of those words you use to sound worldly in history class, but why theater? Is Cinema of war equivalent? Battlefield seems a more logical replacement, but that apparently denotes something within the theater of war.
199) battlespace
What they now call a battlefield. This proves the military makes this stuff up as they go along. Like the evolution of the term shell shock to battle fatigue to PTSD. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
Sheesh. Trucks I can handle, cmon. Priuses and puny cars and clean vehicles? Blech. Overused. I sometimes watch those Barrett-Jackson or Mecum auctions on telly. Older cars like 50s Caddies looked SWEET! in slate. McQueen's (iirc 70s era) Porsche looked COOL! in slate. Cars like that, and it was a rare color before now where every 5th car is that color. Shameful. Yers has my seal of approval, tho, so you no longer need to worry.
Extra fun fact cus you deserve one: Slate is the colorway of the black mamba. Some are light slate and others are bi-coloured dark over light gray as in sharks. Depends on the region. Black refers to their mouths which they flash as a warning (black = bad color in nature). Why are they notorious? They often go into human dwellings, highly toxic venom and rapid acting. That's the key, Mule. Rapid acting. Depending on severity and location of the bite, it could 6-8 hrs if you're lucky or, if a facial/chest bite, 30 mins to kill. Purely neurotoxic and will lead to total paralysis to include the iris muscles in the eyes IF the patient is having mechanical respiration. Person will usually die before full effect. The most toxic snake in Africa is a tree snake called the boomslang, but it has a slow acting blood destroying venom that might take a day or so to kill a healthy adult male. Mamba = rapid venom, paralyzes diaphram - quicker death, close contact with people, quicker to bite than boomslang. There was one of those "smart idiots" as Maher calls them who catalogued the effects of a boomslang bite and croaked at the 24 hr mark. In 1957, there probably wasn't antivenom anyway, but he didn't want to go to the hospital because it would interfere with his notes. He thought he was getting better after bleeding all day (from all orifices including tear ducts) and ate a full breakfast and then croaked when he thought he had gotten over the worst of it.
