I don't know how old this one is....Colbey has made a point of being such a man and finding (virtue signaling) his
new found sobriety, but somehow, I'm questioning it, especially after his unsolicited PM to me, out of the blue and stuff like this.

It was in an are zoned Mixed residential and commercial.
He was asking if anyone knew the decibel level allowed late at night. I told him to go ahead and call the city on him.
In Cody's mind that meant I was too ready to call the law on someone and that the guy should just go talk to the noise makers.
My opinion was why do that when you don't even know if you have a legal right to complain.

He told me to be myself. (stop being you). Which is weird, because we don't really post the same at all. Sometimes we do, and agree with each other but really quite different.

I hesitated to reply to this string because I hadn't heard the term "virtue signaling" before. My opinion is it's not a good term because it isn't apparent what it might mean but that's just me. I did look it up and my immediate impression was "what, we're really sub-categorizing arrogant pricks to that fine a point now?"
Then after reading the rest of the thread I think staying out of this was the thing to do. Those quoted posts don't make much sense to me. English may have just evolved beyond me.

Like I said I never heard it before either although it was used towards me. But I didn't pay any attention because it was a loopy loon who said it. I thought it was some shit he made up.
Those quoted posts don't make much sense to me They were not meant to LOL It was for Juniper.
Anyway I don't see anything wrong with the phrase. I think it means blowing your own horn and you don't think others know you are.

Of course, blowing your own horn is what it means. I think what sets my teeth on edge about it is the double standard of it. While decrying the behavior, you kind of do it yourself. Or, at least people I've seen using it seem to do that. It's only something that's come to my awareness these last few months, mostly by this idiot TV and I have seen on FB, but I've noticed it cropping else elsewhere. I think it bothers me, because it seems to be a catch phrase of one group against another. Kind of like calling libs "snowflakes". It's not that it's an inaccurate phrase to use if used correctly, it just seems...contrived somehow.

But still if it is calling someone out for blowing their own horn then the one using it may just be calling a spade a spade and still be humble LOL.
