    It was grind's idea.

    I expanded the usage and started using it everywhere, though. Grind mostly just meant "poor person", whereas I used it more as "poor uneducated religious rural conservative". Now that Dixie's using it, I think it's just being thrown around as "your stupid!", which takes the emphasis off of the original focus on the prolees lack of 1337ness and refinement. This must be stopped.

    And, yeah, I'm pretty sure grind got the original word from 1984. It was the term the Ingsoc government used to refer to the 85% of society that was not in the outer or inner party and was left to revel in ignorance and poverty.

    George Orwell actually made this part of my lexicon, probably before waterhead and grinder were even born. You should give credit where credit is due, rather than lavish praise on these two nitwits.

    I just started typing out a reasonable counterargument to Dixie, and then deleted it. All arguments with Dixie are like this:

    Dixie: argument A
    Poster: rebuttal of A
    Dixie: argument B (moving forward as if his previous argument hadn't been destroyed)
    Poster: rebuttal of B
    Dixie: argument C (again, offering no defense of B in response to the rebuttal)
    Poster: rebuttal of C
    Dixie: argument A (as if it hadn't already been rebutted)
    Poster: WTF?!?!?!?!


    x infinity


    He just keeps on switching between fallacious arguments over and over again. This is because there is no logical reason for him to believe as he does. He just acts the way he does because he's evil.
