>literally an oxymoron, brine is by definition a salty LIQUID. Anyone who uses the term "dry brine" is certifiably retarded
Never heard of the phrase "dry brine" until this thread, but that's a stupid complaint. Language constantly changes by its nature and most of it isn't meant to be interpreted literally off of a naive reading of the original meanings of the components that make it up devoid of context. You might as well complain people who use the phrase "brewing coffee" are retarded because they're not really using fermentation to make it happen most of the time.

>That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. "Dry brine" is literally a term used by zoomer faggots and youtubers who thought it sounded cool.
Looks like at least one person mentioned the exact phrase "dry brine" as early as 2005. Still possible it was someone who used youtube, but not super-likely since youtube only just started existing that same year.
