Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
I would expect a right-winger to use "spout" instead of "spew" in that context. Words I think of as left-coded include "problematic," "gaslight," and "decency."
It does seems as though there is a pipeline of new vocabulary from 4chan to online rightists to extremely online people in general and then to the population at large (see "based") and perhaps another one from tumblr to online leftists to online rightists making fun of them to the population at large (see "woke"). Funny enough, both of those words come ultimately from black English, which seems to be the true source of linguistic innovation in America.
