What would we do without Libs of Tik Tok? The right’s favorite social media provocateur does tremendous work exposing the woke behavior infiltrating our educational system. Sometimes Libs of Tik Tok stokes our outrage, and sometimes we just have to laugh.
One post from Libs of Tik Tok falls into the latter category. Here’s the set-up: a teacher who works with 5th- and 6th-grade students reached out to the Tik Tok world asking what she should do about a particular student.
When the subject of pronouns came up in the class, one boy raised his hand and told the teacher that she hadn’t asked his pronouns. So she did. The kid replied that his pronouns were “banana” and “rock.”
Naturally, this triggered confusion in the woke teacher, and at one point in her Tik Tok, she even tries to correct herself and refer to the kid as “banana.” Then she wonders — and asks the woke people on a social media outlet — if the kid wa serious in telling her his pronouns are “banana” and “rock.”
It’s glorious.

“I have new pronouns, bitch, and jerkface”
Then you can get that bumper sticker, “You call me ‘Bitch’ like that’s a BAD thing”.
My pronouns are Zorch and Zigby.
So far, I have refrained from putting that on my work e-mail signature.
A few of the ‘lennials and zzzz-ers at work have their pronouns in their signatures.
I hope the kid's parents have his back, because the left will make an example of him.
I chose Sire and Mi’lord
;’}
The ironic thing is that the teacher wouldn’t know what a pronoun is if one bit her in the ass — much less diagram a sentence.
Fire this woman immediately.
Correct. Now, suchlike and whatever are English pronouns.
Thanks for the chuckle before bedtime, lol. I was just reading some stuff from the veterans administration. They were wanting you to put in your preferred pronoun into the system. WTH. I’m surprised the new slogan isn’t “Thank you for your gayness” instead of service. /s
Both "any" and "none" are pronouns.
what are the options?
is there an approved list by the pronoun tribunal?
am i stuck with my preferred pronouns or change them weekly? daily? hourly?
BFL
My pronouns are me, myself and I.
I’ve had a couple of kids pull this shit with me and I just tell them I’m using their last names if I ever refer to them. They hate it because I did it all year.
Bravo kid. 🙂
Shame on you teacher wannabe but will never really be.
The kid obviously has great parents. I wish they would have arrived at school the next day with a throne for junior...lol.
There were more than 50 options. One of those options was a checkbox "Other" and upon checking it, I was presented with a box to fill out.
So I did. I typed in the first thing that popped into my head:
Lord Master Hizzog of the Planet Zork!
I subscribe to Rush Limbaugh's "demonstrate absurdity by being absurd".
That triggered calls from my co-workers asking "How did you do that?"
I responded "do what?"
As it turned out, that form was setup to update our email signatures, online status with our "pronouns" and more. Within minutes of checking "Other" and filling in "Lord Master Hizzog of the Planet Zork!" that's what my pronouns were set to, across our email, HR, phone system, Sharepoint and more.
Then the call from H.R. came. They told me I couldn't choose that pronoun.
I asked "why not?"
"Because you can't!" was the response.
So I asked why the box "Other" was there.
Silence.
"Will you change it?" I was asked.
Nope was my reply. If our H.R. had gone so f'n woke that they'd put 50+ pronouns in for people to choose, and have an "Other" box then by God, I was gonna choose the Other box and be absurd about it.
A threat by HR to involve our Corporate Attorney was met with laughter by me. "Please tell Darryl I said hello and I've missed playing in the band with him."
"You know Darryl?" they asked.
"Yes, and I've been to his home."
I can only imagine Darryl's response when H.R. told him what I did, I imagine he laughed his ass off. He and I share a very similar sense of humor.
A few more attempts were made to get me to change it by re-sending the email link to choose my pronouns, those all went in the Deleted folder.
To this day, several years later, I still show up as Lord Master Hizzog of the Planet Zork and there's not a damn' thing they can do about it because they know it'll trigger a lawsuit.
One last thing: my long term girlfriend worked in HR for decades. When I told her what I did, she too laughed her ass off. Said it was brilliant and that there was nothing HR could do about it since they allowed me to fill in "Other" and choose "Lord Master Hizzog of the Planet Zork!"
Our HR eff'd up big time and I suspect they finally came to that realization.
I would love to hear someone tell a woketard their pronouns are she/male or shut/up
Mine are “Your Majesty” and “Genius”
I think I’m going to go with “Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F’tang-F’tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel”
or
“Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwustle-gerspurten-mitzweimache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber-shönendanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm.”
We have a winner.
