"Thick Skin" definition from Wikipedia:
1. The ability to withstand criticism and/or sarcasm.
2. Literally thick skin covering the body of an animal, such as an elephant or rhinoceros.
3. Callus, an area of thickened skin
Callus vs. Callous:
"Callus" is a noun meaning a localized thickening of the skin, and a verb meaning to form a localized thickening of the skin.
"Callous" is closely related to callus, but it’s figurative, and it is never a noun. As an adjective, it means toughened or unfeeling. As a verb, it means to make or become callous.
[From the author]
"Thick skin" are the tolerant recipients of callous comments and abuse.
"Callous" are the senders of outlandish criticism, sarcasm and narcissism.
So, my question is, "Who is the elephant in this forum?"
