This post was spawned by a re-tweet of mine.

Retweeting as a display of how to be stupendously entitled. Don't be this image, kids. https://t.co/Ip84Eg2zH5

And then a response from DirtyKlingon:

@wolfyseyes i hate the word entitled. i tend to hate those that use it. please don't use it. i mean i'm not your mom or anything but

Which ticked off a whole line of tweets back and forth between us in a conversation that got my wheels turning and made me consider how certain words really need to be re-adjusted.
