Perpetually online losers whining over things they know little to nothing about, or are entirely fictitious.
Ryuji: "Hey ren-ren! Baldur's Gate 3 made Fire Emblem Three Houses discourse pop up on twitter again! Wanna see me write some tweets?"
Ren: "Shut up, nerd!"
Basic human rights is a catch-all term, mostly used by the ideological left wing, used to describe whatever social issue is topical this week as somehow beyond criticism.
Often uses false equivalencies, like the idea that healthcare, the act of preserving and celebrating life, includes abortion, the act of killing a child whom is financially inconvenient.
Restaurant: We will not serve you as you have donated to an organization that denies LGBTQ2SIAA+ people their Basic Human Rights!
Me: Bro I just gave $20 to the Salvation Army. I will use the money I would have spent on your food to donate to them again.

(Adj.) The characteristics consistent with the original writing and intent of J.R.R. Tolkein and his works, such as literary Romanticism, poetic dialogue, and characters who believe in a greater good than themselves.
Aragorn: Rings of Power doesn't feel very Tolkein.
Arwen: Why? It's still about Middle-Earth.
Aragorn: Yes, but the heroes are depicted as virtuous solely because they believe in themselves, and the narrative seeks to blame humans for the evils of the Orcs. That's not Tolkein.
A person that you are in a relationship with that doesn't actually do what a romantic relationship entails. They don't care for you emotionally, unironically using the term "emotional labor" as a turn-off. They neither cook nor clean. They may offer sex and they may look pretty for you, but that's it. This isn't love.
Hence the word "paperweight," a pretty thing that is actually useless.
Cardi B: "I don't cook, I don't clean, but let me tell you how I got this ring!"
Me: "Isn't this just glorifying being a paperweight partner?"
