"Per WIKIPEDI

Snowflake (Slang)

Snowflake as a slang term involves the derogatory usage of the word snowflake to make reference to people. Its meaning has varied, but may include a person who has an inflated sense of their own uniqueness, has an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or is easily offended and unable to deal with opposing opinions. Common usages include the terms special snowflake, Generation Snowflake, and snowflake as a politicized insult."


By that definition, we are in blizzard country around here!

From our friend Miriam,

In the 1999 movie adaptation (from the book Fight Club) the lines go like this:
“Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not the beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. We are all part of the same compost heap."


Cow dung? A piece of crap from a shithole?

Hell, anybody seeming as educated and genteel as my ownself could in reality be a 800# Jamaican Redheaded transvestite in a pink tutu and how'n the hell would you know?

True enough. I'm pretty sure you're not a member of our Greatest Generation as you've clearly implied.
