In many contexts, details and specificity are good. For example, I don’t want McDonald’s to mess up my burger order since I want to enjoy my rare guilty pleasure. But too much specificity can sometimes become suspicious, like when someone’s excuse sounds just too rehearsed and detailed or when someone denies doing something bad way too fervently.
There is a subreddit that collects online posts that are just a tad too specific — “Suspiciously Specific.” Sometimes, folks just give too many unnecessary details. Other times, their attempts to look innocent backfire spectacularly due to excessive insistence and denial. If the “Don’t be suspicious” meme from Parks and Rec could be a subreddit, it would most definitely be this one.

Gracelynn, Where Art Thou?
Decades later, I remain slightly amused by the fact that some of the Evangelical girls in my school during the "designer jeans" era got around the fact that their parents made them wear dresses by simply wearing jeans *under* their dresses. As far as I know this was a very localized rebellion, but it did go on for a couple of years.

We had a guy in Chattanooga. He rode his bike around to different restaurants/bars downtown selling flowers to guys out on dates. Dressed, shall we say, flamboyantly. As near as I can guess, he made out well. Flower Guy passed a few years back.

In other words, we are transphobic; and also super stupid because we don't have the slightest idea what mRNA actually is, that our cells are naturally full of it, because it's literally the messenger ("m" in mRNA) that translates the information in our DNA so our cells can use it. (The mRNA-based vaccines just harness this natural process; and they are much easier to produce than previous vaccines because the design has a standard base that can quickly be updated to "plug in" the profile of a new virus. And scientists had been working on the background idea for *decades*; I heard a piece about how well it was progressing on the "Naked Scientists" podcast (produced by Cambridge University in the UK) about 10-15 years ago.)
