You hold the fort. It's a military term. It's not taking off if you let go of it.

It could become accurate. I mean, with global warming and extreme weather increasing.

You all know what I mean: that 'I'm trying to make my voice croak but can't manage it." intonation.

"cis" I feel like it's an extra term for "straight". The "default" for lack of a better term (and one that isn't othering) is near the not trans & not gay part of the gender / sexuality spectra. To me everyone in that zone is "straight" (boring/default/whatever).
"begs the question" because people exclusively use it wrong. Just say "leads to the question" or "poses the question."
And I'm still really salty about everyone giving up on the term "literally" to allow it to mean its exact opposite.
