It's not a troll tool. It's precision in speech. You didn't create "wiggle room" in the first statement, you specifically stated on the continuum of taste it wasn't "yucky". That does not place it anywhere specific, just above that point.
Not sure why you think of me when arguing with other people. I think you have a problem.
There we go, see, the troll's stamp of approval on how you can make claims but not really make claims.
Oh, and since you are talking about precision in speech (whatever the hell that is), I didn’t drag you into this. It’s physically impossible to drag anyone into anything on the internet. Not to mention that you're like a full time zone away - impossible for me to drag you anywhere. Additionally, you posted under your own free will. Nobody dragged you into anything.
drag (as a verb)
- pull (someone or something) along forcefully, roughly, or with difficulty
- take (someone) to or from a place or event, despite their reluctance.
- go somewhere wearily, reluctantly, or with difficulty.
- move (an icon or other image) across a computer screen using a tool such as a mouse.
- catch hold of and pull (something).
- (of a ship) trail (an anchor) along the seabed, causing the ship to drift.
- search the bottom of (a river, lake, or the sea) with grapnels or nets.
Yeah, nope, I don’t see how any of those definitions are accurate (you meant accurate, right? Not precise - accuracy is the closeness the measurement is to a specific target, while precision is the closeness individual measurements are to each other. You probably meant accurate since you where trying to point out how close the phrase “not so yucky” was to the exact word “like”)
So you might want to brush up on “precision in speech” while trolling.
