Anarchists and elitism, can you imagine?
Doesn't lend well.
This just in: gay people are elitist because they have their own culture and in-jokes! How dare they exclude homophobic straight people by calling themselves fags and other things
Of course I was.
Oh no, I know it's my fault. You know I have a folksy, colloquial way of speaking, and I type like I speak.
I kinda just completely misunderstood lmao oopsies
It's okay you're still my babe!
(Unless you dislike southern US style terms of endearment. In which case you're still my... uh, m@te.)
I type like I talk, and I work with folks in a caregiving capacity who respond well to someone who doesn't sound clinical, who maybe talks like just another person in the community, and here in the southern US, that's a specific accent and affectation... So...
"Can you imagine?" in this context usually is a scoff or an expression of disbelief.
"Doesn't lend well" here means those two things don't mesh.
