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?

When I was young I had a random username generator give me 4994 as the suffix to my username to avoid duping, I got so lucky that when I forgot my passwords I'd shift the outer numbers going 5995 rather than the inner going 4884.
