   @STL_Inquiries Why did you call the church’s response a “punk response” ie worthless?

     There's a great quote going around, which I'll paraphrase: "In a time of performatuve cruelty, being kind is punk as fuck."

     @hannu_ikonen @STL_Inquiries Thanks. As a scholar of linguistics I am unaware of that useage of \rebellious\ as positive especially in this case across the varieties of American English. It would have the same negative or sarcastic intent, as would \radical\ causing confusion. I think \astute\ ir well-reasoned response is a more accurate connotation.

     Mrs Cloudy repeated this.

     @carolleisa @STL_Inquiries Punk as in rebellious not worthless in this case.

     @carolleisa @fishidwardrobe @hannu_ikonen @STL_Inquiries I'm in Scotland. Not aware of any particular fad. Understood the point being made immediately because I'm not daft. Only the very determined could misunderstand, and even then, only for their own purposes. You seem quite determined.

     @fishidwardrobe @hannu_ikonen @STL_Inquiries Yes. And your audience needs to understand which is which. It’s often helpful to the speaker or writer to use a common term rather than a fad only understood by few.

     @carolleisa @hannu_ikonen @STL_Inquiries "Rebellious" is surely either positive *or* negative depending on what you are rebelling *against*?

     As for "punk": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_ideologies
