The weird passive-aggressive posts this sub attracts
Since we just got another one earlier this morning, I wanted to make a post to discuss something that's been on my mind off and on for months: genuinely what on Earth is it about this sub that makes people vent about personal grievances in this very specific/recognizable and bizarre way. What about a subreddit called "Words" could possibly attract weird angry cranks. What about it causes them all, with apparently no prompting or other coordination, to decide that the way to express this anger is by lazily coining a word or phrase with a stupid probably portmanteau etymology and a stupid overly narrow definition which is blatantly obviously inspired by recent events in their life.
Like at least once a week we get someone going "New word I've just coined: Neighbhorrible. It means when someone who lives next door to you, rather than acting neighbourly, acts horribly, perhaps for instance by regularly mowing about a foot into your lawn with the lawnmower blade set too low which kills the unique blend of bluegrass you've planted even though you put up two signs saying why they can't do that and it's illegal. Just as an example. Anyway anybody else want to use this new word?"
