You get a bit of bonus smartness points for that one.

Dude's nouning an adjective. That's a smart person move, and dude does it twice.

Imposter syndrome was a real problem for me.

One of the things that really helped with that for me was when a colleague I really respected confided in me about their imposter syndrome.

Edit up top: you lose points for the wrong they're. I didn't even notice it until now, so I also lose points.

Fair enough answer, but plenty of ways. That's the point of the question. To hear people's answers. Their creativity.

If you win the Nobel prize, you should reasonably be able to say you are really smart.

If you voted for Trump, you should reasonably be able to say that you are really dumb.

Additionally, lots of people know Dunning-Kruger about how dumb people overestimate themselves, but that has another part: smart people underestimate themselves.

That's what they want you to think.

If they come out and say "I am very smart" everyone will make fun of them.

Eh. That probably means you're right.

It's both.

It's also a non sexual postural issue.

The cat? Nibbler!

We're not talking about twerking. You are correct in twerking is a dance that does in fact present the person sexually. That is its appeal.

It is the bending over and sticking out your ass that is lordosis.

It is in fact lordosis. Lordosis is the posture and the presenting for copulation.

I can't imagine why you'd say loosely approximates. Bending over and sticking out your ass is literally presenting of the vagina.

The fact is human behavior is more complex and is not as simple as a cat in heat should not need to be stated.

Op asked a question. Root post answered the question. I added the scientific support.

If you don't think that there is a huge amount of scientific interest in human sexual behavior, you are the one who needs to get out more.

We're also not talking about twerking. That is a dance that is appealing because of it's similarity to the mating behavior that is the answer to ops question.

What other subject?

This is the exact, scientifically supported answer to ops question.

Lordosis is the name for the behavior the women are engaging in.

Why would describing human sexual behavior using the proper biological terminology be cringey?

The entirety of sexual presenting behavior is lordosis.

So no, there is not more than lordosis here. By definition.

lordosis

Edit: I have no idea why the responses below have been taken over by pedants lacking in reading comprehension. Lordosis is the name for the behavior, the reflex, the posture, all the things. We're taking about presenting the vagina for copulation here. That is what the songs are talking about. It's not literal mating, but it's sexually exciting. These behaviors are deeply embedded in the primitive levels of our brain. It's even hypothesized that this is why we have butts at all.

The part/whole phenomenon is called synecdoche and is extremely common in all forms of communication.

Opioid pain management is a major part of the problem as well.

That's why the pharmaceutical companies are getting sued.

It used to be that you only gave narcotics to patients while they are getting surgery or very shortly thereafter (and in smaller doses) or when they are terminal.

Talk to an old anesthesiologist about this change and you will get an earful.

I learned how to make some very fancy furniture off of YouTube. There's lots of excellent videos in techniques.

I remember woodworking for mere mortals being good when I was a beginner. (I'm still a beginner compared to plenty, but I can definitely design and build a bench on my own).

It gets like that.

Once you're a few years in, you can't really leave without starting over or being ABD, which is a really bad resume blemish (because it usually happens to people who aren't smart enough for a PhD and get kicked out with the consolation prize).

Although, there is a really prominent researcher in my field who only has a master's. It's like, you know if I were on your committee, you could just staple a few of your papers together, and I would sign off on a PhD.

By the time you've done enough learning to get a PhD, writing a dissertation is not much trouble.

It's been over ten years, do you want me to talk about mine? For a solid week? Unprepared?

No problem. I already have.

In the US, PhDs, in STEM at least, are fully funded. Either by research or teaching assistanship. This is the same as in Europe and students are frequently exchanged.

You'll only be paying for yourself if you're in art history or something stupid like that (even then you could get a TA) or you haven't demonstrated that you're smart enough to get a PhD.

Edit: it's so weird how this completely factual statement has been so controversial. I actually went through this process.

Umm.

PhDs in things like engineering are typically fully funded. They paid me while I did mine. It's not much, but it's enough to live on.

Art history, sure, you pay for yourself.

In STEM, you would get an RA or at least a TA.
