Negging

The act of insulting, deriding, or otherwise putting down of an individual or group by another in an attempt to shake, crack, and eventually crumble their inherent confidence and fortification of self.

Although commonly defined strictly as geared toward women by pickup artists, fuckbois and other douchebag types, the activity is universal in that it is implemented by and against people of all types, genders, etc and does not adhere to any one demographic.

Person 1: I don't get why people feel the need to put me down as soon as they look at me.

Person 2: They're Negging you. They probably see how you carry yourself and, based on internal insecurities that they refuse to acknowledge, arrive at the conclusion that you're too confident and need to be knocked down a peg.

Person 1: But I've never even met them before. And I'm not even as confident as I'd like to be.

Person 2: Doesn't matter if you are or not, you look it to them, that's what they perceive and hence that is what they are going to act on. Maybe stroke up a conversation with them and try to clear that up.

National Rape Day

A day encouraging rape VICTIMS to come together and discuss their trauma and ways to overcome it. It is not nor has it ever been nor will it ever be a day encouraging rape. And no one is trying to make it a day encouraging rape.

Person one: have you heard of national rape day?
Person two: yes and that's disgusting that people are trying to make a day encouraging rape.
Person one: no that's not what it is, idiot. If that were going on that would absolutely be disgusting. However, it is not a day celebrating rape, it is a day raising awareness of it and giving victims of it an opportunity to come together and discuss their trauma and ways to overcome it. And nobody is trying to make it a day celebrating rape.
Person two: oh.... My bad.
