This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What you're describing is the new popular and also wrong use of this great and useful and specific word which fills a legitimate lexical gap. I'm not hating on you. I'm just very passionate about this. Liminality is a great concept, great term, very useful. Turning it into "le creepy empty room with le slenderman" as is popularly becoming is very irritating to me because we already have words to more or less accurately describe that.
