I am so tired of people using the word unpacking this way, thinking it makes them more intelligent.
I wanna see her “unpack” superstitious people who still carry spears here and there, interacting with Red Chinese.
Unpacking. Sounds like another stupid snowflake term like “claps back” and “opens up”.
