Ads

It's not an acronym. It's exactly what you think it means. "Give me your money! Meh! Don't you want this thing? Do you want these glasses? What about a nice juicy burger? Did you know you wanted it before some idiot sold your attention to me so that they could better convert your viewership into revenue? I paid him to show you this. And now you're seeing it. How does that make you feel? It shouldn't make you feel anything. Because you are irrelevant. If you were relevant wouldn't be watching this. You'd be doing something in front of a camera and I would be paying you to show the people who watch you do the thing you're doing the item I want them to see. But you're not. You're just you. So be you and do everyone else does and buy my thing. It's good. It's a good thing I promise. The guy you like wouldn't have sold you to me if it wasn't good."

Iam "Apparently, what I'm doing I derivative of a concept in the book "Cashvertisement". I don't remember the name of the author but apparently if you see ads you don't like you can email the owner of the company and tell them how to make the ads better and they give you money or something. I just heard about the book the other day. And just like that this post became an advertisement. I wonder if I predate the concept written about in the book. What effect have I had on the world? Oh God! What have I done!?"

Hym "I feel like we never use the word 'affect'..... We have to be using the word 'effect' wrong sometimes... There's no way we (in all of our writing) have never used the word 'affect'?"

Iam "Did I use it right just now?"

Hym "Google says you used it right...."

Iam "Should.... Should we start googling it every time we use either?"

Hym ".....That sounds like a lot of work..... Shit! This turned into an ad for Google! Quick! Stop referencing things! They haven't given us any money yet!"

ADS

Short for "Aim Down Sights".

In shooters, aiming down sights means looking through the scope of your weapon, in most games by pressing right click, or the left trigger.

"They're so far away, how can I aim at them?!"
"Don't you know how to ADS?"

(D²)ad

Sometimes referred to as a Disposable Daddy, a D Squared Dad is a person that insist on keeping their f*ckboy/f*ckgirl tendencies despite being in a different dating class that has different set priorities than they realize. Usually they are constantly looking to get laid by someone in order to prove to themselves that they "still got it" and to eventually become a leech on any and everyone they come into contact with. Love and loyalty are usually just words to them rather than actual concepts.

Woman 1: Hey does the new clerk at work seem like a Disposable Daddy to you?
Woman 2: Oh, they are definitely a D Squared Dad. I heard they go to they bare every weekend to hook up with anyone they're able to manipulate. Usually they tell people they're an Influencer on Vacation and they could make people famous if they have the talent.
Woman 1: Gross! Can't believe that line actually works for them. That's definitely a (D²)ad for sure.

ad hom of him

Hatriotic version of (argumentum) ad hominem. Whilst "(argumentum) ad hominem" is a fallacious argumentative strategy marked by the avoidance of a genuine discussion of a topic by attacking an attribute of the person making an argument instead of the argument itself, "ad hom of him" is a phrase preferably used over "(argumentum) ad hominem" when attacking a certain individual using Latin and failing miserably at it.

David, who loved the game Pacman, was accused of using an "ad hom of him" argument.

A: Dunno, one minute he's doing the migraine skank and then he pulled an Ade.

He is a ad domus conservationist. He only cares about the environment at home.
