It's time for the moderates to come out and say it: we won't be defoo'ing or firing people for supporting Hillary and we won't be defoo'ing or firing people for supporting Trump.
Or Johnson or Stein or Harambe, for that matter.
- wincy 10y agoSort of off topic, I agree with your sentiment. However, has the word defoo'ing come to have a broader or more generic meaning? I was under the impression that defoo stood for "departure from family of origin" specifically.
- adiabatty 10y agoOh, I had no idea — where did this word come from? In what circles is this word popular?
- wincy 10y agoStefan Molyneux of Free Domain Radio coined the term. http://defoo.org/defoo/ http://defoo.org/defoo/ He's sort of an anarcho capitalist voluntaryist turned men's rights advocate who has some pretty extreme viewpoints, one of which is that if your family of origin doesn't agree with your beliefs you should completely detach and disengage from them. Stop all contact. I'm not saying I agree with it at all, but it was interesting to see the term used here.
- thisisparker 10y agoI think this is just the de- prefix with the generic placeholder "foo".
- wincy 10y agoWell defoo means abandoning your family and cutting all ties. So it would fit here if you extended the meaning a little to mean cutting ties with any relation not specifically family.
