Womyn, shut your back hole and make me a dam sandwitch!
Speling and w0rds dont mater. Whut matters is that I speek my truff and that everyxne heers muh truff with however dam way I choos to xpress mahself with mah own words!
Seriously though, how am I supposed to teach my kids spelling, writing, and reading with this insanity? I'm going to go live with the Amish. Anyone else care to join?
I'm already standing in line for a remake of The Matrix with an all-clown cast. Of course, the clown protagonist can only manage to get everyone killed. But at least it doesn't take four years, like the clown remake of The Oval Office.
Yes! This thought crossed my mind as I was reading this article. I used to use my dictionary all the time, but modern technology made it somewhat obsolete. Now we might have a "comeback" for old printed dictionaries!
I can just see a future game of scrabble (hey wouldn't using that y earn you more points?): "Yes, it is a word!" ... grandpa pulls out the printed dictionary... "No, it's not in the dictionary." ... disgruntled young person rushes off to consult AI for the "truth".
I've got three printed dictionaries at home so my kids can use them when they're working on vocab assignments. They're from the glorious late 90s and there's only one spelling for woman. And the Webster's New World Children's Dictionary has this interesting tidbit: "Our word woman comes from an old English word that combines the words for 'female' and 'human being.' The part of the old word that looks like today's "man" really means "human being." Hmmm, I don't think "myn" means "human being," Mr. Guardian spelling bee author. Found the dictionaries at library and church book sales...in case you're ever looking for one in the future.
One of my dictionaries is an online 1928 Webster's Dictionary, none of the words they've introduced for social construct is in there hahaha! I too have a couple of hardcopy dictionaries here just in case!
I apologize for the wrong date, it is 1828 not 1928 !!!
I’m hanging on to my two printed dictionaries. My favorite high school math teacher gave me one as a graduation gift in 1982. The same teacher had given my husband one for his graduation a few years earlier. (We grew up in a small town, where our teachers gave graduation gifts to the students, and later were invited to their weddings.) This excellent teacher also taught my dad and both my in-laws in the late 50’s. She’s still living, must be in her early 90’s now. My son met her once; when he told her who his parents were, she said “Oh yes, your mother was a really good student. And I knew your father too.” 😂
Do you suppose Kim Il-Phatslob tolerates use or ownership of old dictionaries? They prop up the illusion that there are other "authorities" than the State.
Yah? Have you ever seen them correct when it really needed corrected?? It's diabolical and can't be trusted as a dedicated speller. Just saying! It's out to get us.
It is clearly insane. I read The Guardian article. It stunk to high heaven with desperation. When they are desperate enough to drag George Orwell into it on the wrong side--they're done. And they know it. So maybe we should celebrate!
A new way to create hate for men. Focusing on the letters that include letters to describe another thing is ridiculous. It is embraced by people who are looking for something to be offended about. Those people are not living up to the minimum requirements for being a decent human being. So maybe they need their own word, but I don't think Womyn is it...
I wrote a sketch comedy bit probably 15 years ago about flying. It was a gal trying to book a ticket and the agent kept trying to "upsell" her on absurd things like Unlimited Urination Packages and Companion Co-flying (if you want to be on the same plane as your spouse).
This was my favorite:
AGENT: Will you be needing any legroom?
GAL: Standard legroom is fine.
AGENT: Oh, no, seats don't come with any legroom anymore.
GAL: NONE?
AGENT: None.
So... what do you do? Like, sit Indian style the whole flight?
AGENT: Well, for one thing, we don't call it Indian style anymore. It's criss-cross applesauce. But yes, that's how you sit.
GAL: For thirteen hours?
AGENT: In this case, yes.
GAL: I'll take the legroom.
Sadly, the majority of my skit has COME TRUE hahahahaha!
😂 🤣 LOL! That's funny. "Criss-cross applesauce." I remember that from kindergarten. I actually wrote a piece about a woke airline last year. It's behind a paywall now, but I can share the first part, with the pilot speaking:
“Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary passengers… welcome aboard Atypical Airlines. My name is Steve, and I’ll be your captain this evening. As an underrepresented member of the aviation community, I’ve been diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, have limited use of my hands, and am legally blind in both eyes.
Many folks in my position would have given up on their dreams, but I decided to say no to all the haters and pursue my passion for flying! Thanks to Atypical and its commitment to diversity and inclusion, I’m now fortunate to be in the cockpit, where I can make a real impact on people’s lives.
Joining me is my co-pilot, Randall. He has ADHD and is excited for his first trip above land. Right, Randall? Are you there?… He’s probably around somewhere (chuckles). He doesn’t like to stay seated for too long.
Okay, we hope you can all sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. We’ve calculated the flight time to be anywhere from four to twenty-six hours. With enough luck, we should land in Rome. We ask that you please keep your seatbelts securely fastened for the entire flight. If you need to use the restroom, you can find emergency potties under your seats.”
Reminds me of the 1980’s when Oakland School District (California) tried selling the idea that Ebonics (bad English spoken by ghetto dwellers) was a separate language and the District needed federal money because it was teaching English as a Second Language to Ebonics speakers 🤦♀️
I should probably be taking this word diarrhea more seriously, but I just can’t go there right now!
Why?
I can’t stop laughing at the list of “5 Deadly Terms Used By A Woman!” Only woman ( like the real ones!) know these deep in their soul! 😂
Calling all real women! Did you not laugh out loud when you read these!? Did you literally think about the last time you thought, “Oh yah, buddy think hard before you utter one more stupid word from that pie hole!”
Wise daughter! Who among us hasn't substituted a simpler word because we were "too busy" too look up the correct spelling of the word we were originally going to use?
My daughter just had her first baby 5 days ago and I have to admit I am not man enough to be a woman. Those who refuse to spell their gender correctly need to man up.
Words carry a frequency, spoken and written. These crazy folks are attempting to hold down the natural progression of awakening. I say if they wish to wallow in the mud, let them. I Just misunderstand their disfunction and explain that in my world we choose to use kind and loving words and full sentences.
I asked Grok what a womyn was. Surprisingly it said this spelling originated in the 1970s! "it’s rarely used outside certain ideological contexts—think academic papers or activist spaces."
Apparently most people have enough common sense to not bother with such abuses of spelling. I'm a bit concerned that "academia" would use it... once again my respect for modern academia drops.
I remember that spelling in the 70’s used by lesbians in particular, who didn’t want any affiliation with “man”. It was used more at the level of bookstores and coffee shops that catered to lesbians, and sometimes on a college campus, but it was NOT part of academia. I was there, so I’m more reliable and truth telling than Grok. Grok is wrong and this is how our history or back in the day, we'd write herstory gets changed, Orwell style.
Just think of all the fun we will have when AI rewrites herstory ({gag} pretty soon I won't be able to read English, I'll *need* AI to interpret it for me). "Germans win World War II"... "The airplane (powered flight) invented by Leonardo da Vinci", etc, etc...
New feature for AI: "Grok, please rewrite this using 1960s English"

How does one shut their “back hole”? Is that like saying “shut your ass up”,or, did you mean “pie hole”?
Asking for a friend..
🤣
Pucker 🤣
Pucker up and make me a sandwich?
Never heard that one…LOL!😗😉
I'm in. Added benefit of joining the Amish: next time they enforce masking, you won't have to wear one if you also wear an Amish dress.
Sign me up for the Amish! I sick of this sh1t!
we are living in clown world
We are living in the Matrix.
I'm already standing in line for a remake of The Matrix with an all-clown cast. Of course, the clown protagonist can only manage to get everyone killed. But at least it doesn't take four years, like the clown remake of The Oval Office.
I feel like the tide may be turning, and it's only still clown world--for clowns!
Once again trying to control the language we use to force acceptance to their lies. Do not comply ever
Don't know why, but I'm a stickler for spelling.
Seven year old's answer was brilliant!
All I could think was, wouldn't "wombyn" be even more upsetting to the trans community because - uh - lack of said womb?
That’s exactly what I thought! There’s no way wombyn is going to be acceptable. It just emphasizes their idiocy.
Whole thing idiotic but
5 deadly terms 😆
Spot on
My eyebrows went to the roof!
🤦♂️ Thank heavens for word processors with spell checking or I might never be able to spell anything "correctly" again! {major face palm}
Hold on to any dictionaries you may have! They shall be worth their weight in gold!

Hmm... Amazon has a Webster's dictionary (1950) going for $200. Old dictionaries might be a better investment than gold!
Good to know! I'll have to take good care of mine.
Old book prices are "fickle". I just bought a book for $10 that was previously going for $150.
That is quite interesting?
Another way to de- humanize us?
Yes, great point!

Stink, stank, stunk!
Ha ha. I make mistakes, like most humans, but the usage of "stunk" here is fine.
(Just so you know...)
I was not critiquing your grammar. What I wrote was what came to mind when I saw the word "stunk".

I fear satirists & comedians are going to be out of work pretty soon. Reality's doing our job for us. 😂

I SO hate that meaning of the word "spaces." 😃
Sounds like "division" and "discrimination" to me. "Hey, we have our own space, you aren't allowed in our exclusive club."
You've outdone yourself....
I continue to wet my pants.....
LOL, thanks kindly, friend! :)
