Phrases, terms and words you're not a fan of

[eleuin]

all heccing doggo talk, y'all finished or y'all done

I also hate "I'M SCREAMING" when someone refers to finding something funny. And we thought lol was an over-exaggeration.

[Himu]

"Living my best life"

Get the fuck outta here with that shit. 

Love, live, laugh

Laugh, and grow fat!

“You’re cancelled”

[Momo]

I'm not sensitive about race, dont worry you havent offended me. I don't remember much about that era except kids getting dragged from school and being beaten, public infrastructure being set on fire every other day and my folks not allowing me to go outside of eyeshot. I remember super secret meetings in my front living room with my dad's freedom fighter friends but ya. I never really got the back of the bus and whites only treatment much growing up cause my folks would simply not allow me to go near white people, caught more shit from other brown people. Walking around in SA today you can still feel the hostility Afrikaners have towards black people for simply existing though, to be fair they are a small percentage, but like your southern redneck types they announce themselves super obviously.

Pretty much

Some anti lgbt person using lgbt phrasing makes me want to die

Momo that’s some serious shit.

[Momo]

Yeah why don't you say you're bleck more often, momo

It shouldnt matter, I'm just me, y'know? 

[Momo]

sounds like you had some amazing parents momo

You dont always think this when you're a kid, but yeah.  By my late teens I looked around and realized how lucky I was to be clothed, fed and still alive. My folks are the best people I know.

[Kara]

Most of the people in the US would actually go wild at the fact that I describe myself as culturally colored.

I'd ascribe that to a pervasive ignorance of South Africa here though.

that's kinda sad, we 'ave a lot of stories to pass along and things to teach when it comes to dealing with racism.

I agree.

Meant to say this in the Musk thread when we were talking about union power / rights in the two countries, but you have to keep in mind that one country actually ended colonial rule and the other just cut ties with the metropole.

[Himu]

Sound like amazing people tbh

And you’re amazing for being able to recognize that and appreciate them.

[Momo]

I dont talk about myself because I dont like drawing attention, it generally never ends well.

Blockchain

If I see one more job posting using that fucking term I swear to god

Same here for "startup". I am getting so many job offers that are obviously sent out in bulk that basically read like this:

"We are a dynamic small startup prepared to revolutionize the blockchain"

"Here at SimpleChain Mike, John, Blooper and Nancy are looking for fun, diverse and curious people to join our workforce of entrepreneurs, marketeers and developers.
In 2005 John Simple and his goldfish blooper sold his stock and left his job at Microsoft. Soon after he met me (Nancy) and with my brother Mike we created SimpleChain. A simpler blockchain"

Colonial rule was largely broken by labor groups, it's amazing the power a workforce has when the upper echelons of society gets a taste of what it would be like if the plebs told them to go fuck themselves. Of course it has negatives too as seen in England with workers vs Thatcher, tbh it's probably better the US doesnt have strong unions right now because with the Trump climate dumb stuff would likely happen, but I do hope US workers get some semblance of rights, collective bargaining power and for labor unions to become bigger parts of their political system someday.

[CatsCatsCats]

Look at all you ❄️


Edit: I didn’t read the second page and now I feel my comment is tone deaf. Sry

[HardcoreRetro]

Blooper probably spends all his time around the water cooler. Something fishy about it.

Edit: Don't worry. Just some zwarte mens talk.

Early Industrialism very much resembled the feudal system of old.

Unions were able to rest some power away because the location of the workplace itself was once critical to the success of the business and owners lived in the same communities as their workers.

Once those factors diminished (and owners removed themselves out of the community where the work was being done) unions/workers lost whatever inherent leverage they had.

[Momo]

Speaking of zwarte piet, did I mention we still have minstrel shows exclusively run by brown people, formerly called the coon carnival and no one really gives a fuck lmao

It worked for us because no one would provide labor for the apartheid government except Israel, so the National Party was fucked. It continues to work for us because labor is a big part of the governing coalition so they bake protections into local industries preventing labor from being shopped overseas (too expensive due to tariffs etc) for certain key markets.

I think on Curacao both zwarte piet and sinterklaas are played by bla.. bro.. people of...     Curacaoans?

"Living my best life"

Get the fuck outta here with that shit. 

We started saying that ironically a few weeks ago and this past weekend noticed it has crept into drunk lexicon.

The thought of miserably kneeling over a toilet and then barfing up your night's excesses only to look up at your friends and exclaim 'Living my best life!" tickles me to no end.

people desperately trying to force-meme Drake song titles. Like

"nice for what"

shut up bitch

[Cerveza mas fina]

African American?

Nicca is from fucking Africa

Country is litteraly called South Africa

[agrajag]

"Gross"


if you don't get the fuck out my face with that corny shit

I think we’ve covered this here before, but I will slap your tongue away from whatever anus it’s in if I EVER see ANY of you say “Latinx.”

  u guys

[agrajag]

African American?

Nicca is from fucking Africa

yeah, but people use that to call black people who aren't from Africa, so he might as well be African American too

And African African doesn't quite roll off the tongue

[Cerveza mas fina]

I know you are fucking with me now

He's just South African

[agrajag]

I keed bro.

[Himu]

Well thankfully Cindi got you to bring up your terrible childhood for no reason then

Yup. Can't ask an online buddy I've talked to for years a personal question during a time when things get personal.



Meanwhile, Momo doesn't care and is enjoying banter between online mates. Get off my dick. You have issues, sir.

[agrajag]

haha that African American bird has a great expression

[Himu]

Not as mad as you appear to be in this thread.

Is that like, Malcom but Hispanic?

[Mandark]

"Mexican" as a catch-all for Hispanic/Spanish-speaking. It's especially silly around here where there are way more Salvadorans than actual Mexicans.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Since nobody has posted it yet, "woke"

I haven't seen an instance where it didn't mean "insufferable douchebag"

To speak their truth those Central American Latinxs with migrationshintergrund most likely came seeking refuge through Mexico.  Might as well be Mexicans

Whimsy - idk it just feels wrong. I’m fine with whimsical.

one is noun, one is adjective

[Valkyrie]

Heck and uwu make me want to stab shit

Have you seen owo

owo Cindi-senpai pls nuzzle me ^-^ nya~

[Himu]

Not as mad as you appear to be in this thread.

Literally not mad about anything in this thread whatsoever, you took a shit post seriously 

You make passive aggressive posts anytime I post something. You look like a straight up bitch any time I post. I’m sorry but it’s true. You can hide behind “it was a shitpost” all you want.

[Mandark]

Stro's a shitposter, Cindi's perpetually mad online. Move it along.

hissssssssssssss
