You nailed it. Obviously it's an effective term.

I mean, not that it's that horrible, as insults go, but it is becoming awfully tedious. Original, witty disses are a lot more effective, I promise. And far more fun to read.
If the snowflakes would stop doing what they do and making the news, we'd probably stop talking about them, so until they decide to grow up and participate in the real world like adults, they will be discussed. I'm still waiting for that one that is so out of touch that they get the "super snowflake" label.

Well, this is certainly devolving into a no-humor zone.

*chuckle*

I don't care about anyone's short entertainment/attention span.

Since you want it, what names do you have in mind?

I'm just glad I'm not seeing "teabaggers" used as a derogatory term 24-7 anymore.

Frankly I always found it odd because it has an anti-gay connotation....like just slightly less offensive to gays than "fogbogger" if you fixed the o's.
Good one!

They're not being original. Their favorite blog sites or propaganda outlets are using the term snowflake, so they all start using it.

It's not new. It's just that with all the hysteria over the past year around Milo Yiannopoulos appearing on campuses, people asking for safe spaces, and now the election - we can't help but use it.
