Should I have the 2nd jab?

@fmf said
I haven't even had a first one yet as vaccines are in short supply in the Indonesian city where I live.

So I have TWO jabs that might nearly kill me to look forward to! LOL.

The side effects of the jabs / jabs are quite a big talking point here in the uk where there seems to be a large differential of after effects between different demographics and different vaccines.

The people I know here who've had it say much the same.

It's just a turn of phrase.

I don't know what "racists" you are referring to. No one has claimed anything about "the great power of whiteness". It is you who is talking about it. You made an error in misinterpreting what the ironic turn of phrase "It nearly killed me" actually means. You then based an entire post on your misinterpretation. I thought it was worth pointing out to you.

Could you note down exactly what they said please as I would like to check that it wasn’t “HYPERBOLIC EXAGGERATION” and that they have a “doctor’s certification” for their complaints and that they aren’t just being “an arrogant self-pitying [insert skin colour] [insert national identity] without a shred of empathy for less fortunate people, who are whinging about [insert gender pronoun preference] temporary discomfort after vaccination in desperately appealing for attention.

Thanks.

Duchess64, I can assure you, it's just a turn of phrase. It's only "over-the-top" in so far as countless hundreds of British turns of phrase derive their ironic sense from exaggeration or saying the opposite of what is true. It's called irony. It's just a turn of phrase.

Oh well. that's nice. But you dropped a clanger with the expression "It nearly killed me."

How so?

So what are you ranting on about then?

Perhaps some further Google level research on the phrase “you’re killing me” will help. Try looking up movies containing the phrase; you will find at least a couple. If that fails to convince then you could look through Urban Dictionary, although I would be careful there though, especially around “M” (malignant) and “N” (narcissistic personality disorder).
