"When you start looking at a post about some foreign language's oddly specific word for something that you never thought there would be a specific word for, remember that English has a specific word for tricking people into listening to Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up'.

"English also has a single word for 'manipulation of electoral boundaries to reduce the influence of opposing political groups in future elections'."

Regarding the first half, there's actually a super-neat explanation of how the term "rickrolling" came into existence and the development of the meme. You can read it here!

I cannot read what that says so I am forced to assume it is incredibly complimentary! Thank you! ;)
