iam90sbaby 2,120 Posted January 13, 2017 1) what is this "tilt" sheet. 2) Where did snowflake come from? It's funny..but how did that start? Tilt basically means the conversation has taken a turn and the other side has gained momentum in a debate/arguement. Snowflake is what the ugly red headed step child of a generation likes to call Millennials. It is actually quite funny and amusing. They point their finger at us like we don't have a clue. Going to be pretty entertaining to watch this generation (Gen X) struggle in the coming decades as they quickly lose touch with reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality 2,710 Posted January 13, 2017 Snowflake is what the ugly red headed step child of a generation likes to call Millennials. It is actually quite funny and amusing. They point their finger at us like we don't have a clue. Going to be so funny to watch this generation (Gen X) struggle in the coming decades as they quickly lose touch with reality.

WhiteWonder 2,170 Posted January 13, 2017 A lot of millenials (of which I am) are extremely delicate due to coddling and can't always handle when things don't go their way. They lash out. They feel their uniqueness is first and foremost and when you read articles about petitions they start to be able to wear whatever they want to work or that universities have special places for them to go to cope with the election outcome it doesn't do much to combat the special snowflake moniker. As for tilt, I always thought it was a poker reference that people use when a person on one side of an argument has gone full retard. That person is "on tilt" like a poker player who took a bad beat.

penultimatestraw 473 Posted January 13, 2017 Tilt basically means the conversation has taken a turn and the other side has gained momentum in a debate/arguement. Snowflake is what the ugly red headed step child of a generation likes to call Millennials. It is actually quite funny and amusing. They point their finger at us like we don't have a clue. Going to be pretty entertaining to watch this generation (Gen X) struggle in the coming decades as they quickly lose touch with reality. Tilt means going off kilter, being extremely frustrated or confused and pursuing a bad strategy. It's used in poker, but probably originates with the "tilt" message on pinball machines that were bumped or tilted in an attempt to cheat. Snowflake is used to describe the current generation, implying they are delicate and easily offended as a result of parenting which fostered their uniqueness. I've never heard anyone outside this bored use the term, though I guess most here are Gen Xers. ETA What Whitewonder said... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,631 Posted January 13, 2017 Tilt! is basically the written equivalent of a white flag. Overtly or otherwise, it is used when a particular poster has no intelligent, informed or even reasonable basis in fact with which to support his or her spurious opinion. - Usually as a result of turning off Sean Hannity too soon In order to post his inane baseless rambling onto the GC bored and claim such moronic sophistry as one's own. ...Though, is it even possible to turn of Sean Hannity 'too soon'?

wiffleball 4,631 Posted January 13, 2017 As the Geek Club's Resident Contextual Historian, The fairly nascent use of the expression "Tilt!" (arriving in the bored lexicon somewhat before, but usually uttered by the same individuals who employ the nonsencial term 'cuckold' ) Can have its etymology traced back to the use of the word "Pwned!" in the late 20th and early 21st Century. Again, both "Pwned" and "Tilt" share a common usage by the lesser educated, North Amurican Big Breasted Chicken Hawk. This particular Ornithological denizen, whilst possessing sufficient nasal capacity, generally prefers to oxygenate oneself via oral means. Otherwise known colloguially as "mouth breathing". Alternatively, others choose to mask their nomenclature by adopting an entirely different, unattributed Nom de Guerre and, to avoid detection, rather than using the telltale "Tilt" or "Pwnt", simply employ their alternate identies in the use of the modern day hieroglyph (aka "Emoji") : , or the lesser used: Regardless of nomenclature nor hieroglyph, all are considered to be used by the somewhat lesser educated, lower socio-economic class and therefore, should be avoided entirely or minimally included in day to day lexicon - except in its most ironic usage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hence the term means someone who thinks they are special and unique, like a snowflake. Snowflakes DO tend to complain a lot. However it is because they are SOOOOO special that they can not be treated like normal people. They are UNIQUE and you WILL treat them that way or they WILL throw a fit like a 3 year old.
