shit stacking

Short for bullshit stacking. It's a tactic bullshitters use to place a large enough stack of BS consecutively to basically exhaust the willingness of a rational person to unpack it. It's followed by the bullshitter using that lack of willingness as a "victory" for their viewpoint. It's a consequence of Brandolini's law. See Liz Wheeler and Jordan Peterson as shining examples of this tactic.

From facebook, today: "don't claim to be a spiritualist if you bash others beliefs and religions ... you may not do those things under the white light of god but i sure do, especially tarot readings. Do yall know the portals you can open up doing that?? so yes i go by god he is my protector and this is exactly why you guys need educated before speaking on things."
Me: Wow that's too much shit stacking for me to bother unpacking it.

Basic bitch

Like so many labels (e.g., hippy, hipster, chotch) basic bitch is a negative remark about a person's consumption choices. Whereas a hipster my be viewed negatively for the amount of time spent on novel clothing, music, or food choices, a bb is viewed negatively for the commonness of those choices. Think Uggs, Starbucks, Taylor Swift, etc. Another apparent criticism is a perceived increased interest of using social media, which when paired with a more "original" reader/viewer feels grating. All this makes you wonder if there is some happy middle ground where your music is accessible but not top 40, your food choices incorporate a blend of traditional and nontraditional offerings, and your clothing is novel but not too novel. I'm sure someone will come up with a catchy label for that in due time.

-oh God, Chelsea has posed with duck lips at Starbucks every morning this week! What a basic bitch!
- At least she's got a job, bra
