Fair. Apparently Merriam-Webster does use it with the meaning I intended.
A screenshot from the Merriam-Webster website “Slant & Trending” section reading in relevant part as follows: “rawdog verb | [phonetic] RAW-dawg To do something hard or boring without any aid, preparation, or diversions”

The part that isn’t a joke: Data using drama to explore the human condition perfectly aligns with how Variety reported SAG-AFTRA’s statement about the AI “actress”
A screen cap of a news article. The word “creation” carries over from a sentence not on-screen. The remainder reads “The acting guild believes ‘creativity is, and should remain, human-centered’ and ‘is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics.’”

I was in court this morning in the most bisexual tie I own. It’s like the Disneybounding version of Bisexuality
A tie with silver tie clip, the tie has wide navy blue stripes and alternating thinner light pink and dark pink stripes.

When a mod on r/shittydaystrom has to to go out of their way to explain Nazis Bad in a trek-reference-filled rant, it reminds me why I love this stupid space show www.reddit.com/r/ShittyDays...
A screenshot of part of a Reddit post reading as follows: Let's be completely clear. In our luxury gay space utopia, nazis are not allowed. And, before any of you dorks come in and say "b-but national socialist german worker's party members don't exist anymore", let me explain what we mean by "nazis". While the exact party no longer officially exists (debatable but that's a different story), it has grandchildren. These include, but are not limited to: the KKK Proud Boys Neo-nazis Racist Skinheads White Nationalists and their counterparts from other countries. These are classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups. Pointing out the fact that they're not technically nazis is not the gotcha you think it is. If it crawls like a targ and grunts like a targ, well, it's a targ, even if it's some sort of poodle targ.

Star Trek fandom is older than a significant majority of people alive today
A screenshot from Google reading as follows: Current World Median Age • Around 31 years: This is the widely cited figure, meaning half the world's population is younger and half is older than this age.

This was a rough week for the fandom, but remember. Star Trek is eternal, and its fandom is will endure as long as its ideas endure

and those ideas include six decades of Spirk
A tumblr post from bitchydragondoodle dated May 15, 2019 that reads “Yknow what I LOVE about the Star Trek fandom? It's ANCIENT. I had a talk with a nice old lady at the old persons home that my great grandma is in and she noticed my Spock shirt and was like "oh I love that show I thought the premise was lovely" and you all know THE PREMISE is trekspeak for spirk and I was like "do you accept the premise because I do" and she looked at me with the eyes of someone who is reliving their otp moments and she said "the premise is all I wrote about, dear" and we just talked about spirk for a hella long time and I just love how age doesn't matter in this fandom you can be ninety and still be the biggest spirk bitch ever how rad is that” with the tags #spirk #tos IS LYFE #fan culture yo

A page from a Wikipedia article reading “An eggcorn is the alteration of a word or phrase through the mishearing or reinterpretation of one or more of its elements, " creating a new phrase which is plausible when used in the same context. 2] Thus, an eggcorn is an unexpectedly fitting or creative malapropism. Eggcorns often arise as people attempt to make sense of a stock phrase that uses a term unfamiliar to them, 31 as for example replacing "Alzheimer's disease" with "old-timers' disease", [2] or William Shakespeare's "to the manner born" with "to the manor born". (1) The autological word "eggcorn" is itself an eggcorn, derived from acorn.”
