Sotonians is an educational experience. We benefit from a range of intelligent and articulate views, which serve to inform those who read us. Our demographic skews smart, so we’re comfy with big words in the main. Some folk just operate on a level that my poor brain can’t keep up with, though. None more so than @barry-sanchez . I thought I had _reading_ in the bag. I thought it was _done_. “No more training do you require”, as Master Yoda might say. Bazza challenges that assumption. He introduces words that I’ve seen before, but don’t know what he means when he uses them. This thread aims to dispel some of the mystery, with our Barry’s help. The first entry I would like to cover is **snowflake**. Now, Barry, what do you mean by this? Is it:- > A term used to describe extremist [liberals](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=liberals) that get offended by every statement and/or belief that doesn’t exactly match their own. These individuals think they are just as “[unique](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=unique)” as [snowflakes](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snowflakes), when really their feelings are just as fragile. Or:- > A [snowflake](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snowflake) was a person who was opposed to the abolition of slavery. They were called [snowflakes](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snowflakes) because it said they valued white people over black people. * * * ---

I kind of have handle on what Snowflake means, but I am wonder why. I mean, why Snowflake? What is the etymology? Is it cos snowflake is melt away when things get too hot, or is it more that Snowflakes think they’re unique+special, or is it cos when you get a load of snowflakes together you can get a damaging & destructive avalanche covering Everything? Or is there some other aspect I have not thought of? ---

Could a “snowflake” be a racist liberal…or even a liberal racist…or a cold fanny…or an ageist name for silver-haired old folk with funny ideas? Confused. :lou_sad: ---

I feel like I had a flake bar one time but it was a white chocolate one and it was called a Snowflake, but I ain’t seen one for years. I wonder if they got rid of them cos of confusion with ppl who are pro-slavery. ---

Liberal fascism, a real term I introduced the learned members on here last week, it took them 2 years to grasp extreme left so this taking hold and being accepted may be swimming against the tide. Liberals are good at being enraged but not much else. ---

In point of fact, now I think about it, I feel like it was white chocolate in the middle but brown chocolate on the outside. More akin I suppose to someone doing a blackface, or when Hollywood gets Jude Law to play Martin Luther King in a biopic, or something. ---
