great new word: "Caucacity"

The top of this tweet is good and the new word is towards the bottom. We all know--we KNOW--that if the murderer were anything other than Caucasian the "bad day" excuse would not have been even a remote possibility:

Caucacity is a slang term used to make fun of behaviors perceived to be stereotypically white or to call out what's seen to be a particularly bold instance of white privilege or racism.

Caucacity is the audacity of white people. Meaning, the willingness to take bold risks only white people feel safe doing.

blew away her classmates because she "didn't like Mondays."

This song by The Boomtown Rats was about this incident:



Here's a portion of the lyrics:

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole day down
