Are You Angry LOL?

Look, folks, when you're pissed off, angry, or furious, don't use the following words when you post about it:
grumblegrumpsnortlolshame
These instantly turn your post into a whine or minor complaint. Notice:
"I just learned the GOP in Oklahoma passed the strictest anti-choice law in history. Grump grump."
or
"A terrorist in Las Vegas shot and killed more than a dozen people. Shame!"

Notice that the posts look like someone's kidding, or not really angry at all.  "Shame" is the biggest culprit.  "Shame" is for pets who mess on the rug, not for murderers and Republicans.

Words to use instead include:
furiousangryhorrifiedenragedincensedlividshocked
As in:
"I just learned the GOP in Oklahoma passed the strictest anti-choice law in history. I'm livid and horrified!"
or
"A terrorist in Las Vegas shot and killed more than a dozen people. I'm shocked and furious."
Don't make fun of your own anger. Use the right word and take back your power.
