Freudian babe i know i fucked up7/29/2023 ![]() ![]() “ Amok” derives from mengamuk, which means “rampage” in Malay/Indonesian. To this day, the term is often used in Britain to off-handedly disparage gay sex. “Bugger,” then, was appropriated as slang to diss other apostates involved in damnable practices, particularly sodomy. ![]() Translation: What a little Bulgarian homosexual! Yup…“ bugger” evolved from “Bulgarus,” a name given in the 11th century to a sect of Bulgarian heretics. If it’s so miserable that it might as well be sucking a penis, it must be really, really fucking miserable. Mmmmm, are you though? Not being able to afford a $50 dinner in the wake of your most recent Rag & Bone shopping spree isn’t exactly representative of actual poverty, babe. To “gyp” someone, then, is to cheat them like a filthy Indian subcontinental. Hopefully, you know that “gypsy” is a super reductive term widely regarded as a racial slur, as it was historically (incorrectly) used to disparage Romani people, an ethnic group who got a bad rap for swindling white Europeans when they arrived on the continent. Almost two centuries later, we still haven’t busted the myth of the “hysterical woman.” 20. ![]() In the mid-19th-century, a really cool physician named George Taylor posited that one in four women suffured from “ female hysteria,” an entirely bullshit, misogynistic medical diagnosis given to women who were, you know, nervous, sexually hungry, irritable, crazy bitches. Remember a few years back when Rush Limbaugh got hella heat for accusing Michelle Obama of “uppity-ism?” That’s because, back in the day, racist white southerners designated “uppity” to describe Black people who who didn’t know their place. Turns out my confusion was well-founded this sweet little nursery rhyme evolved from a violently racist version of the same jingle, which was used in the chorus of Bert Fitzgibbon’s 1906 song, “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo:” “Eenie, meenie, miney, moe…”Įven as a kid, I wondered why I would ever be tryna catch a tiger by his toe…makes no sense, u def can’t catch a tiger by his toe, and even if u did, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be the one hollerin’. “He sold me down the river.”Ĭheating/betrayal sucks, but…did he? Did he really “ sell you down the river” like American slave-owners did their misbehaving human chattel? 17. Unfamiliar with the seriously racist/classist history of this ostensibly innocent phrase? Allow me to enlighten you: during the 1800s, “ peanut galleries”-interchangeable, then, with “nigger galleries”-referred to the cheapest seats in the back/upper balconies of vaudeville theaters, where the under-educated, overly-vocal (Black) patrons sat. Tell me I’m over-sensitive/dramatic/“politically correct” when I rant about the sore reality of rape culture/a society that methodically desensitizes us to the gravity of sexual violence through images and words, and then tell me how often you flippantly use “rape” as metaphor. “There’s a piece of clothing in our culture affectionately nicknamed after beating the crap out of your wife, and for some reason, this is offensive to nobody.” -Louis C.K. Don’t reduce it or appropriate it to detail how entirely impressive it is that you *must* make your bed every morning. Real people suffer from real mental illnesses, of which OCD is one. “Go fuck yourself.”Ĭuz what’s more vile/upsetting/damaging/taboo than masturbation, right? 12. You sound hateful, stupid, and terribly unoriginal. Thank you! I kick soccer balls like the U.S. “He’s a real son of a bitch.”Īh yes, if he’s a raging asshole, it’s obviously because his evil (probably whorish) shrew of a mother made him that way. Those things can take a pounding.” In other words, tenacity, courage, discipline, and grit do not belong to “man.” 8. As comedian Sheng Wang brilliantly quipped, “Why do do people say ‘grow some balls?’ Balls are weak and sensitive. ![]() I know, I know-unlike very strong, very hard penises, pussies aren’t built to endure the pain of childbirth, so it makes total sense that we equate them with weakness. I always forget how that story goes, fml. Riiiiight, because it was *The Indians* who ripped off white people by tactlessly retracting their gift of land. Butthurt = so bent out of shape that he might as well’ve just taken that joke up the ass. “…No homo.”Īnd if you feel compelled to use this disclaimer after you say something suggestively “homosexual,” my guess is that you are, in fact, a closeted homosexual. “Gay” is not a synonym for “stupid” or “ridiculous.” If you disagree, you’re stupid and ridiculous. It’s 2015, y’all, and it’s officially no longer chic to be a homophobe. To say that something you deem low-class/trashily flashy is “ghetto” is to talk out of your goddamn ass. A ghetto is a slum-a place where minority groups are relegated to live. ![]()
