Judging by most Sherdog posters, the majority of MMA fans don't think for themselves; they change the way they talk by using terms that aren't even real words just to try to be accepted. They just want to fit in with the rest of the sheep. It's pathetic. Where else but in the MMA culture do you ever hear people use the non-word "nut hugger"? But since Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman say it in "The Smashing Machine" the MMA fans copy the way those two guys talk to try to gain acceptance among them. It's goddamn pathetic that these fans can't think for themselves and use real words to express themselves because they're sheep.
Have you noticed how often the posters here will say a fighter "gassed"? That isn't a word in the sense they think it is but since they heard a fighter or an MMA commentator say it, then without any critical thinking about what they're doing they just blindly use the same terminology. What they really mean to say is the fighter fatigued, ran out of stamina, or simply got tired. If they're educated they might say the fighter accumulated an oxygen debt which led to him not having the energy to continue fighting at the necessary pace to win. They don't think though; they just say "he gassed" because they heard someone else say it and without thinking just mindlessly repeated the term "gassed" because they're sheep who are either unable or are too lazy to critically assess why it is that they would use these terms that are either not words, or at best, are real words but not the proper words to describe what they are trying to describe.
