I guess one good thing about woke is that people have become more descriptivist about grammar. Kids are (I think) being taught more that dialect-specific vernacular isn't WRONG, just nonstandard English. |

Date: April 28th, 2026 5:08 PM Author: territorial indian lodge Cr it's a lot "67" type nonsense and also a lot of the things they say are constructed so as NOT to communicate information. Like apparently it's common for them to say, "That's not..." and that's it, that's the whole sentence. And even the expression "it made me feel some kind of way" makes me think language is kind of going backwards. The point of communicating your feelings is to use your words to say what they are.

Date: April 28th, 2026 5:18 PM Author: Aqua vibrant foreskin hall A Gen Z African American gentleman recently told me that a woman he knew "sold X." I was very confused. It seemed like he was saying that she was an ecstasy dealer. After pressing him for more information he revealed that what he meant was she broke up with her boyfriend before he started working out and lost a lot of weight and got jacked. She sold her exbf when he was at a low point and now he's handsome. She sold ex.
That was a lot to unpack! |

Date: April 28th, 2026 4:51 PM Author: Out-of-control knife pocket flask rofl @ The town was named after Delhi, India, in honor of founder Ebenezer Foote, who was known as "The Great Mogul". The pronunciation is attributed to Foote's rival Erastus Root, who reportedly exclaimed upon learning of the town's name, "Delhi, Hell-high! Might as well call it Foote-high."[4] An alternate explanation of its pronunciation and namesake is due to its location, high on the Delaware River.[3]

What's funny to me is people who think words like ain't are distinctly southern or distinctly black when they were recorded first in England many centuries ago. To wit much of what we attribute to southern or black culture in speech and lexicon comes from poor people from England a million years ago. We should get John McWhorter to do a guest poast about this. |
