I don't understand "bros"

[Kielan]

Who the hell decided baseball was a good separate topic to use to describe the usage of the word stance?

PALM. FACE.

and yes, my sig is definitely awesome

I did, (it was literally the only thing I could think of that I could see even kind of sort of relating).

And Aaron, your sig sucks.

No, every car has A stance. It doesn't mean it's made up. Just like the example of the baseball player. Someone might say he has a nice stance that is made up of "z" characteristics and another might say another player has a nice stance as well which is vastly different from "z" stance, so let's just call that "x" stance.

If you're comparing that to the real word/application of "stance," it's pretty much the same in the automotive world. In laymen terms/very general/non specific, stance is how the car sits/rests/stands/whatever you want to call it; just like the baseball player would.

In more specific application of that word; in the baseball sense: knees, elbows, torso, etc.
In the car sense: wheels, tires, suspension, camber, height, etc.

Because it is all opinionated, it cannot be applied to a single factual definition, so nothing can BE "stanced," but it can have a [nice] stance.

Okay, I understand what you're saying now. That is totally correct. I was merely comparing the word "stance" with the very similar word "position," however. Position doesn't mean just one single set position just as stance doesn't either. Obviously, that is all open to speculation and opinion but position is considered a verb. A baseball player might be positioned to one person and not to another. Just as one car may be "stanced" to one person and not the other. Just as one car may be "dope" to one person and not another. There is no set definition of dope. It's not a good comparison to the word "stance" but since when does a word have to have one clearly defined definition and cannot be applied to whatever the person using it wants it to be applied to? I understand what you're saying, just pushing it a littler farther. Every car has fitment, right? We still use that word in a way that is widely open to opinion. Wow, that car's got fitment. We all know what is ment by that even if it is widely open to opinion. Hell, we even say "that car doesn't have fitment or stance" when it technically 100% does (it has wheels attached to the car, right?)

Saying "that car has stance" and "that car is stanced" have the same exact meaning coming from the same person and both are equally opinionated, and wrong according to you. Yes all cars have stance but that's never what we mean when we use the term. When we say "that car has stance" we never mean "that car has a stance", we mean "that car has a nice stance." I just feel if we begin nitpicking like that, most things that people say (all of us) are wrong.

"That car has stance"- meaning that car has a nice stance.
"That car is stanced"- meaning that car has a nice stance.
Both wrong. One accepted, the other not.


See we can have a real conversation.

according to Aaron, you're the one that sucks Kielan. hahahaha

Shut up Sam, I was talking about snow. Pretty sure most people that know what snow looks like on these forums, have made the same mistake once in their life.

[Uyles]

I know what you're saying, but personally, I don't (and if I have before, it was a rare occasion and lapse of judgment) don't use stuff like "That car has stance/ that car is stanced" I say "that car sits nice" or "That car has nice stance." or "I like the stance." I think the descriptive adjective interjected in there can make all the difference (nice, the (obviously "the and nice" would be relative to whomever is saying it which would be me at the time). To me "stanced" is just another word for "hellaflush," which is obviously a slang word for aggressive wheel/tire/drop/fitment. It's also a website.

I don't know, sometimes things like this just get on my nerves. I say "dope," "hella" and stuff like that which is obviously slang as well, but using stance as a verb ie: I'm going to stance "x" car," "That car is stanced," gets my blood boiled just about as much as the whole "rims" vs "wheels" thing.

People can pick and choose whatever slang they choose or not to use, but those are just personal ones that irk me the most.

[Kielan]

Well saying "That car sits nice" is also wrong Calvin.

[Han]

Well saying "That car sits nice" is also wrong Calvin.

Okay, fine, "That car sits nicely."

[Uyles]

i think there's no way you can say a slang word is used right or wrong. it's slang for a reason.
you can, however, choose to use said slang word or just...refrain.

I get ya. I guess I was just wondering why it bothers some people that much as the English language gets misused constantly in every day life. I, personally, **** the word hellaflush more than the word stanced. I do like to use it in everyday life, though, for the lolz.
ex:
Damn, that BLT is hellaflush.
Oh shit, hellaflush hair cut, homie!

[Uyles]

Damn, that BLT is hellaflush.

[Kielan]

Okay, fine, "That car sits nicely."

Captain of the grammar police just got called out son.

[Petis]

I, too, really dislike using 'hellaflush' to describe wheel fitment. Mostly, because everyone has some preconceived notion of what it means, and when someone says something is hellaflush, and it is contradictive to someone else's definition, it causes bickering.

Nice call on the improper adjective Kielan

Pffft. You're missing some commas in there.
