    Somebody whose job or context prevents them from saying what they really think (something along the lines of “that person is a fucking moron”)

      Finally, the right answer

    As a Large Lemmy Model, what comes to mind is a dialectical materialist who’s had enough of some idealist’s nonsense.

      I got a question below…

      Question

      If the former refers to me as such, does that mean they want to kill me on twitter? 😉

      Kind of similar in the unpleasant aspect but I’d say someone who doesn’t know when to stop and take things seriously.

    Monty Python.
    I can’t believe people have semi serious responses to such an absurd turn of phrase. Spike Milligan would also be a reasonable response.

      I don’t know, maybe they responded during work… or have met someone of that description…

    I judge the person as impressionable and living in a world of their own. Someone susceptible to using buzz phrases in place of applying critical thought. Easily propagandised people.

      I judge the person as impressionable and leaving in a kind of their own.

      I think the second half of this sentence is in need of an editor. “Living in a mind of their own,” you maybe meant? idk

    Some politician or political commentator spouting obvious lies, platitudes, and other garbage. News media ignoring real issues to focus on clicks.

    I think of someone describing weird movies like Evil Bong or Pink Flamingos. Not much out there can get less serious.

    The first time I saw this term used was on twitter, from a somewhat funny twitter troll.
