Fuck off all of you, pleb tryhards. The only reason you're mocking these literary microcliches, is because they're entirely common and semantically reasonable. There is literally nothing wrong with either of these examples you dolts are posting. Youre doing nothing but quoting miniscule parts of a text that are too insignificant to affect any literary merit or quality in any way. Some of you aren't just shitposting and trolling, you actually think you've criticised something. Gits.

Using them in inappropriate contexts can be annoying, I cringe when dilettantes throw them out in casual conversation where I know there are people involved who don't have the background to get anything from it.

You have to know your audience.

I truly believe some people on this board don't even read frequently, and are only here in an attempt to validate their own intellectualism. I think a lot of them crosspost on /pol/ and /r9k/, and it's glaringly obvious that their knowledge is solely derived from internet articles and posts on 4chan.

I've also come to some startling conclusions. It appears to me now that 4chan is mostly visited by unemployed or underemployed male's with too much time on their hands. Very few of the people who post here are actual academics. In fact, a good proportion of the posts are actually memes. It's hard to even tell what is meant to be ironic and what isn't sometimes.

It appears that it is also hard to recognize sarcasm.
