Hey I was pro-skub waaaay before all the anti-skub people switched sides.


How dare you use that word. My parents died in the Eastasin Civil war so that I could live freely without you people calling us that.


Skub is a real slur tho so that one doesn’t work


No it isn’t, it’s a reference to a Perry Bible Fellowship comic https://pbfcomics.com/comics/skub/

(This one is sfw, not all of the comics are)

Even urban dictionary doesn’t contain a definition for skub as a slur.


I added one. It's under review. It's very self referential.


>Even urban dictionary doesn’t contain a definition for skub as a slur.

What about this then: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/skub


That literally defines it as a word from the PBF comic I cited? Nothing on that page defines it as a slur, just as a word used to mock people who argue about inconsequential things.


Seems I misunderstood the notion of "slur" as I'm not a native speaker. So now I've learned a bit ;-)


Isn't that a reference to a 10 or 20 year old web comic?


The latter, we're old.


Stop saying it! You're making it worse!
