It's not a word ever used in the U.S., unless the speaker is mimicking a pretentious, pompous elitist who is attempting to call attention to their formerly elite status, or their separation from the 'poors'.

@_chris_real @futzle Alternately, the speaker is a Wiccan holding a ritual. However, there is a tendency for it still be seen as a little over-precious even then.

@Ashmire @futzle

I'm gonna ask for evidence that a 'Wiccan is holding a ritual'.

The rest of your presumptive post is not distracting to me.

I want the answer to YOUR assumption/assertion/insinuation.

Also—and btw—can you show me why you can't be proven to be a bot?

@_chris_real @futzle What? Why would that need any evidence? I didn't disbelieve what you said even though I've never actually specifically heard it used that way (it certainly sounds plausible). So I supplied my own experience, which is that it's used in Wiccan rituals occasionally. And you can go look up '90s Llewellyn books on your own for proof of that if you care so much. But I guess you're one of the reasons why kolektiva.social has such a terrible reputation now. Go to hell.
