The prefix "neo" means "new" – neopronouns are new pronouns, typically ones that are used to avoid "he" or "she."

I quit watching Jeopardy when they started having trannies on there.

“What are fake pronouns” was the correct answer.

I gave up a few months ago. I can’t remember a panel over the last couple of years that didn’t have at least one freak.

The ACTUAL correct answer is to not buzz in.

Who are she sponsors of this show which insults us?
Let them hold their contractor accountable, like in other businesses

For those who are confused, please refer to this handy chart.

This chart actually comes from a university website. So while our students are studying the chart, Chinese students are studying engineering and physics.

Alex was Woke before his time and would have no problem with neo-pronouns.

It’s crap like that which causes viewers to permanently move to a different program. I used to watch Jeopardy a lot but I stopped immediately when there was something similar a few years ago... can’t remember exactly what it was anymore.

It would be interesting to watch the viewership numbers for the next week....

You can consider me a former Jeopardy fan.

Also a former Ken Jennings fam.
