Is "dragged" the new "slammed"?

Gen Z journalism entered the chat?

Reporters threw Elon Musk off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table after his chatbot admitted he spread lies.

Holy fuck. I miss shittymorph just for his creative responses using this.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Yeah man. Those were the good ol’ days, when X was called Twitter lol. Musk was absolutely spreading misinformation when it was still called Twitter also, before he owned it. I remember when he started talking complete rubbish about Dogecoin, making its price oscillate all over the place that whole week. One of his fanboys bought in…like hard. A 30-something year old, and he put his whole life savings into Doge at its peek, only to lose it all the night it was revealed that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

Where I'm from, "dragged" means to be removed against your will.

You know, like "the pitcher got dragged after the first inning".

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

It's a refreshing change of pace

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I was hoping a horse was involved.

They seem to be in a testing phase for the slam replacement.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

For a trip to the gallows

Does it in here to you?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel like dragged predates slammed as slang but it definitely wasn't popular headline material

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So did bell bottom jeans but gen z thinks "they discovered" fashion

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Every generation thinks they invented the things they appropriated

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Some people within a generation did invent something though... But Fashion has been in recycle mode since late 20th century... Best they did in 21st is introducing plastic slop for plebs to feel "rich"

"I wore it once and i can keep consooming"

I don't think it's really new. Just short for dragged through the mud. super old phrase + ellipsis
