Fags always want to change tradition and language.

Verbing, uptalk, and now pronouns all come from fags.

“For those who are confused...”

I got an email from a client that signed off with:

“And to avoid any confusion, I now go by the name Stephanie [instead of Steven] and use pronouns she/her.”

I thought to myself - boy, talk about being confused!

I love Jeopardy but have noticed it is getting very woke recently. A lot of AGW questions, a lot of obscure Black history and author questions, which interestingly no one even tries to answer.

I wonder if they would have counted it right if he had answered, “What are woke words that the far left made up because they don’t like to use real pronouns?”

You mean Art Flaming?

Are you implying that there was anything peculiar about Fleming's sexuality?

A smart contestant would have said “What are nonsense words?”

Stopped watching ages ago and I was a big fan way back when. I noticed the slant in questions and topics for a long time and eventually ended it for me.

"What are pronouns for carbon-based lifeforms who come from Uranus?"

(Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, and democrats pulled all the other genders from Uranus).
