So here's a hot take: it's not cool to shame people. However, people are smart and proficient in different ways. Some people have small penises. Others are idiots who are barely literate.

Substance**, not sustenance.
Or is telling you that vocabulary shaming? If it is I'm very sorry. 🙏
A knife is far more intimate!
Thanks! It was the hobbits that I couldn't remember (or never knew).
How do we figure the aristocrats? Not contradicting, just asking.
So you can go park and abandon it in front of the gas pumps in some tiny trump town in the middle of Indiana or something?
Because nuanced discussion often requires context where colloquialisms typically don't. You could absolutely say "jobs that require no specialized training at the outset", but if you're writing a paper or having a technical discussion in a labor field, that is really cumbersome. It's easier to pick a context-appropriate one or two word solution. This is generally called a term of art.
It's worth looking up "term of art" for a few more examples if my description didnt do it for you.
Or perhaps people should not expect that every turn of phrase is a colloquialism?
The answer here being that unskilled labor is not derived from everyday language, and people who can't conceive of that being the case are angry about it. And, by probability, are more likely to work jobs classified as "unskilled labor". 🤷
all work is knowledge work
No. This is the follow on to "I didn't read the definition of unskilled labor" vis a vis "I didn't read the definition of knowledge work"
Damn. We should all quit our jobs and become billionaires!

This is a life at stake. Don't tell this guy to be a pushover to spare a feeling. It's way WAY worse to fuck a whole life thinking you've got a career that your parents know something about when you DONT.
This is a shitty, entitled take. Some people are good at some things. Some are good at others. Don't gaslight your kid to think he's an astronaut and let the world teach a lesson. That makes you a SHIT parent.
You know who makes 6 figures? A fucking lot of people. Cool, good on you, you're not a unicorn.
