I see this on my Facebook news feed from some Americans I know through my business. I think she covers what makes a 'snowflake' a 'snowflake'.
Gosh, she's lovely isn't she. Not. If that video turned up on my Facebook newsfeed I'd think really carefully about who I was Friends with. Funny, I'd occasionally heard the term used in the sense that @Tin Pot suggests - to mean someone who is a bit 'precious'. I'm not sure I'd realised quite how much vitriol it carries for some.I see this on my Facebook news feed from some Americans I know through my business.

In 1980 my uncle, then an NCO in the Scots Guards was bemoaning the quality of recruits he had to work with in basic training. He complained they weren't as fit, strong or capable of enduring hardships the way his generation had been in the 60s. He felt the army was going soft. Two years later some of the recruits he was so disparaging about force marched across the Falklands in winter, fought hand to hand against troops in prepared defensive positions and won.
