Most have ridiculous egos, and for good reason; it's hard to be humble when you are the best kind of nerd on the planet. Capable of typing extremely fast and crazy buff from carrying tubs of evidence everywhere. Favorite words: legit, sketchy, spread, sexy

Such debates commonly happen over the rights and medical treatment of transgender individuals, but it can be over any topic and still have the term apply.

"Yea, that thing lasted for fucking hours before todd just muted everyone involved"
"Cmon guys, I don't want everyone getting into another trans debate over immigration of all things!"

"You watched the Presidential debate last night?"
"Yeah, and I got covid because of it."

My favorite arg: Foucault, baby. Debaters are generally smarter than you, hotter than you, bigger than you, badder than you, and generally better than you in any way imagineable. especially policy debaters. Big shout out to all my TOC homies out there GOOD LUCK.
