ELI5!
Yes, I know that title is confusing lol! It stands for “explain like I’m 5”. In other words, explain things in a basic way so we can easily understand <3
So, explain something, or ask for someone to explain something! I’ll post an example below <3
Tongue-in-cheek
Tongue-in-cheek means that you are not saying something seriously, and you are actually making a joke or being sarcastic. It's like when you say something that is silly, but you don't really mean it. For example, if someone asks you if you want to do your homework, and you say, "Oh sure, I just can't wait to spend my free time doing math problems!" you are being tongue-in-cheek. You're not really excited about doing homework, but you're making a joke to make people laugh or show that you don't want to do it. It's called tongue-in-cheek because when you say something like that, you might stick your tongue in your cheek, like you're trying to hold back a smile or giggle.
@jesusredeemedme2425 are ok so it's another word for sarcasm ❤
Yep :)
reading techniques
First, previewing the material before starting to read means looking at the title, looking at any pictures, making predictions about what the book or article might be about and what the key points might be. This will help you focus and understand the material better.
Second, reading the material out loud can help you focus on what you are reading and can help you understand things better. It can also help you remember the information more easily.
Third, breaking down long and unfamiliar words can also help you understand things better. You can look up the meaning of the words you don’t know and break the word into pieces to help you understand it better.
Finally, taking notes as you read can help you remember key points in the material. You can use things like highlighting and underlining to help you remember key facts and ideas.
These are some strategies that can help you become a better reader. By using these techniques, you will be able to understand and remember things better.
diffusion of responsibility
@jesusredeemedme2425 that makes sense, but doesn't make sense
@Tinywhisper11
It's basically "oh, someone else will do it." lol
the word literally
judicial review
Judicial review is when a court looks at something that a government or public official has done to make sure it is legal. It's like when a teacher checks your math homework to see if you did it right or wrong. Judicial review is when a court checks whether something a goverment or public official has done was done the right way, according to the law.
systemic racism
@jesusredeemedme2425 ohh! That's sad to think about 🙁
@Tinywhisper11
It's EVERYWHERE... Also, unconscious bias.

@jesusredeemedme2425 black holes sound scary
@Tinywhisper11
They're farrrrrrr away, don't worry <3
abacus
An abacus is a tool that you can use to do math. It looks like a rectangular frame with a bunch of beads on it. Each row of beads has a different value. The bottom row is worth one, the row above it is worth ten, and so on. To use it, you move the beads to add or subtract, just like counting on your fingers. It makes it easier for people to do math problems quickly, without using a calculator.
@jesusredeemedme2425 thank God for calculators ❤
