Vowels matter. Phonics matters. Spelling matters. Logic matters. "Mid" for mediocre is misspelled. Should it be "med?" (sounds like need) "Mid" calls to mind middle, as in middle of the road, which may or may not be mediocre. Med could mean medical. An understanding of the phonics of vowels is essential to the study of words, especially when you're translating something into an acronym or abbreviation or shortening a long word into a prefix. Phonics matters. There's a difference between the long sound and the short sound - between the long "e" and the short "i." Spelling matters. Perhaps not so much for slang words. But everyone can hear the difference between "med" and "mid." Especially when mediocre uses the long sound of the "e." It's interesting how such flawed logic can become a thing, used with an almost arrogant authority that exposes the shaky "sus" foundations this type of propaganda is based on. It can easily morf into something sinister and Trumpian. Which only goes to show how poorly educated the new generation is and the superficial ways these influencers think they are creating new words. Trying so hard to be trendy and cool, sounding so rizz, no cap. Double plus good or double plus bad? Read Orwell and then lat's have a discussion about the words you think we need to know to understand the news.

History matters. Culture matters. Why does his explanation for "spilling the tea" make no mention of the Boston Tea Party? Avoiding politics in today's polarized world, or so ignorant of history to actually believe this term is new and so confusing that the public needs your tutoring to understand it ? Dumping tea into the Boston harbor was a political protest. The ramifications of that event echo through 21st Century geopolitical issues, from terrorism to tax policy. (For the moment, we can leave the assumptions about Native Americans and India on the back burner.) "Spilling the tea" is an old term, rooted in American history. But perhaps it's new to social media influencers who live in the present and have a limited understanding of US History. The Boston Tea Party was a surprise attack. A clandestine activity that symbolizes one of the founding principles of the American Revolution. It reflects our colonial ties to the King of England and the tyranny of the Stamp Act. You would use "spill the tea" if the information you seek is important enough to be concealed. You wouldn't use it for silly gossip. Before Trump and MAGA, there was the Sarah Palin and the tea party. They still have a caucus in Congress. If you were to ask Ted Cruz or the late Queen of England to "spill the tea, " you can bet your life the issue in question would rise above gossip in the ladies restroom. (Maybe not by much, considering British tabloid culture.) In any event, people who have been using the phrase "spilling the tea" for centuries have done so with a historical understanding & cultural context. To define this term as something new without acknowledging the origins of the term undermines your authority . And you've pulled me into this trivial discussion in such a way that now we're both "hoisted on our own petard." (That's Shakespearean for smelling the perfume of our own farts. The arrogance of believing our own shit doesn't stink.). Perhaps the social media influencers might find the bard a source of inspiration for the next list of trendy urban slang.
