Anyone not saying "acetic acid" is committing a microagression
I hate to go all "ackchyually" on you, but vinegar is a 5-8% solution of acetic acid. Anyone not saying "a 5-8% solution of acetic acid" is committing a microagression. Pure acetic acid is referred to as "glacial" acetic acid, which is clearly cultural appropriation by northern Europeans.
I actually say acetic acid as often as I can because I am a dork
Denigrated
That one that means 'cheap or thrifty' that is so close i won't even say it
I only eat sashimi for that reason
Always wanted a girl that can't say "No"!
Actually, not really... super rapey.

"Do you want to sleep with me?"
"False"
Doesn't need to say "no" to decline.
"Wanna fuck?"
"I don't. Fuck off."

I don't know if it was a joke but I remember seeing a black American lady having a moment when they heard that Montenegro is in Eurovision. Chuckled at that
Reminds me of the sordid history of the word "niggardly" (which means cheap/stingy).
And apparently has nothing to do with the word "nigger". I think the word was used in my translation of The Twelve Caesars and I had to look it up. Turns out there's a whole Wikipedia article on it

Nah dude Suetonius was just mad racist
Suetonius dropping hard r before it was even invented. He was just that sort of guy
I want to shake this brave womans hand so much right now
Btw how did the n word become like this? Why isnt it like queer for example?
It was going that way, but the anti-racism movement changed the course.
