Slippery Slope: Narcissist

The internet nudgery has burdened me with thinking about the word narcissist.

I do not even have the muscle memory to spell the stupid word. Mississippi. I can spell that. C-ay-N-ay-D-ay. I can spell that. Carburetor. I still have gas stink on fingers.

But narcissist? What the hell is a narcissist? When I read the ad contexts I think holy fuck, you must mean curmudgeon, or hermit, or whatever the writers use to describe people that were tired of ads on park benches and paving bricks THIRTY YEARS AGO!

If you saw an old person quietly walking down an alley, would you think that person is a narcissist? How about if that person flipped you off when you tried to hand that person a flyer? Or even say hi to that person at a time that did not resonate?

Have a nice day.
