“We are living in the age of insanity.” - the late, great George Putnam
I have *no* idea what they’re talking about.
Been here my whole life.
Be careful with that. Remember the line about, “Everybody has a crazy relative that they all talk about. If you don’t have one, maybe you’re it.”
Preggers?
I read the article and the comments, and still don’t get it. Help out an outsider and tell me what is offensive about “PG”? Short for PiG? I don’t get it.
PG is an abbreviation for Prince Georges County.
I lived in the Washington DC area for many years. People called it PG County but it was just a shortcut not a pejorative . I have no idea what these people are upset about.
I think that is what is meant, but how it applies to Prince Geo. co. is beyond my reasoning.
Probably only us older folks will remember that term.
pg county stands for petey greene’s county, its most famous native.
for those outside the beltway, utube him. his Herschel walker piece was especially prescient.
rip petey. you are missed.
“I don’t want no crying and most all no signifying.”
At 180 dollars a pair, they are taboo to me too!
I’ve know and used the term “PG County” for many, many years. Just like MoCo stands for Montgomery County. Some people need to find anything and everything offensive just to prove they are offended.
I grew up in PG county . Always call it PG county. Never meant it as a negative.
I am most definitely *that one* and I revel in it.
A Peacock in the henhouse, am I.
;)
I found Paris Glendenning (spend-denning) offensive. He hailed from PG county.
Does this clown find DC, DelMarVa, NoVa, PA, and the O’s offensive?
Even Montgomery County gets abbreviated..Moco.
“Just like MoCo stands for Montgomery County.”
Just wait until they find out we who grew up here learned to call it “Monkey County” because as little kids we couldn’t get our mouths around “Montgomery.”
Moco means snot in Spanish. Should we feel microagressed?
Some people call it Monkey County.
Feel micoragressed all you want. It’s not like I give a moco.
