I'll start: "Shoving x down our throats"

the amount of people who have told me i'm one of the good ones because "at least you don't shove gayness down our throats," or "i'm fine with it if they dont shove it down our throats" has made me cringe whenever i hear that phrase used in any context, even harmlessly. how about you guys?

Anthony Bourdain is my Nemesis even from beyond the grave. He had made working as a line cook fucking insufferable with all this romanticized foodie bullshit. The Menu would have never been written if it weren't for him. 'Authentic experience' hipster bullshit that is now just status quo pretention. Have a charcuterie board with your imperial stout and talk about the finer qualities of one prosciutto or granary padano here compared to other places even though our town has a single meat and cheese supplier thst isn't Sisco.
