Possible missing slang sense

[edit]

It seems to be (Internet?) slang for choosing the craziest members of a movement and using them to discredit the whole movement. Not sure whether that meets our CFI. If so, it needs a separate etymology, as it's probably a blend with nitpicking (compare netpicking). Equinox 19:18, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

It's been around for long enough; I've added it to nutpick as a verb, and will add cites. grendel|khan 07:04, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
