abies are so passe, even royal ones. The hip new thing to have is a “theyby”, according to a trend spotted by New York magazine that sees parents bringing up their offspring in a gender-neutral fashion.
There was of course nothing gender-specific about the “ba-“ part of “baby”, which is already a diminutive form of the original English word “babe”. The Oxford English Dictionary says that its origin is probably onomatopoeic – two syllables of “ba”, which is a typical “early infantile vocalisation”. So while a baby can call itself a baba, even if by accident, it will take much longer to pronounce itself a “theyby”.

The guardian is a radical left-wing crazy place. Nothing it says is worth listening to.
They be crazy.
They is plural. Does the child have two heads?
The world has too many ahs.
I’m so sick of all this liberal, “let’s-speak-English-MY-way” crap. If you don’t like correct English, then move to a country where they DON’T speak it.
It seems every SJW group, sub-group, and sub-sub-group, wants you to address them only in their version of the language. They expect you to adhere to their gender-specific nouns and pronouns; I want to ask them, “how do you say, ‘screw you’, in your language?”.
The best way to combat it is, when they talk to you, just say, “no comprehende”, and say nothing else. When they see no one will listen or communicate with them, maybe they’ll see the futility of their ways.
Idiot snowflakes.
“The hip new thing to have is a theyby.” Ridiculous. Person - not thing. The Guardian should have written “The stupid new thing to have.”
This is not that Guardian.
Meanwhile the barbarians are at the gate and they don’t call their broods “theyby”. Total silliness.
What do they do about the stuff between the baby’s legs?
Liberals/Hippies just treating babies as property and not humans.
Baby is already gender-neutral, but if you REALLY have to virtue-signal, there is they-by.
Total ID 10 T’s
“What a theybe!”
“Theybe Ruth”
Gonna have a hard time gettin
use to this. Let’s just go
back to the way it was.
I think even Pol Pot and Robespierre would say that the Revolution has gone too far with this nonsense.
and liberals wonder why they are looked asstupid.
Numbnuts, it is not a ‘they’by because ‘they’ is plural.
Where and when does this madness stop?
Good question. The left is crazy!
Yeah they probably would. It’s madness.
