Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

It's all about the phrasing.

Other things that suffer from this have been listed in memes.

"Butt dial." Vs. "Booty call"

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." Vs. "Sorry Daddy, I've been a bad girl."
