What's your definition of 'salty'? I think you can definitely be politely salty, and dang's comments are all saying (at least) 'don't do that' which seems to fit.
- smacktoward 8y agoMy understanding of the word lines up pretty well with the Merriam-Webster definition (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/salty https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/salty): feeling or showing resentment towards a person or situation; bitter. By that standard, just telling someone not to do something wouldn't be salty. Salty is telling someone not to do something because only an idiot would do that.
- gnode 8y agoThis seems to me to be detecting how "snarky" a comment is, rather than how salty, as it seems to include snappy, sarcastic, and impertinent comments.
