Blond or Blonde?
Before the grammar/spelling police show up!!!
The words blond and blonde come from the French and follow somewhat the French pattern. Blond (without the e) is used to describe males, mixed gender, or uncertain gender. Blonde refers to women or female gender.
In modern use, blond is sometimes used for female as well as male, but blonde is preferred for female.
“mixed gender, or uncertain gender”....
So what is a “mixed gender”? I can understand someone who is not quite certain if they are male or female, it happens pretty regularly (sarc)
A blonde gets pulled over by a cop. The woman cop, who is also a blonde, walks up and asks to see her drivers license.
The driver appears to be confused as she paws through her purse, picking out one thing after another, looking at it and discarding it.
Frustrated, the cop says, “It’s a small rectangular thing with your picture on it.”
The driver squeaks, “OH! Here it is!” and hands a small makeup mirror to the cop.
The cop takes it, looks at it, looks back at the driver, looks back and the mirror...and then hands it back to the driver.
The cop says, “Why didn’t you just tell me you were a cop in the first place?!”
