Everyone — WATCH YOUR PRONOUNS!

[Oeditpus Rex]

I've just learned that "they" is offensive!

:scared:

[ZombieNixon]

1. Oh, shit, where?

:eyes: x(

I use "it" for gender neutrality. It reliably offends everybody. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Oh, no y'don't!

YOU aren't gettin' ME to call out someone!

[billyoc]

2. Don't I know it! I now substitute

"the motherfuckers" for "they". Removes all doubt. :evilgrin:

[Critters2]

38. LOL!!! That should do it.

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

3. It's 4:30pm. Do you know where your pronouns are?

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. What about the DIMINUITIVES?!

Won't someone think of the DIMINUITIVES?!?

:cry:

[Call Me Wesley]

10. What's the diminutive of 'house?'

Is there one in English (ya know, the language they speak)? Is it just 'little house'? Reason I'm asking is that we do have real diminutives:

Haus > Häuschen.
Hans > Hänschen.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. 'Casita'?

I find an endless source of glee in that the "English-only" bunch speak Spanish every time they go to Taco Bell. :D

[Call Me Wesley]

18. Ha ha!

Honk for English, Hitler!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. We 'Murkins can't be bothered with diminutives.

Little house. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. There's no room for diminuitives in big business

(She's right, you know.)

[Call Me Wesley]

22. No little houses in Murika?

My, I should've known ... ;)

[Left Is Write]

27. We have little houses on prairies and little houses in big woods, and little pink houses.

[Call Me Wesley]

36. Little pink houses!

Wheee! :bounce:

[Left Is Write]

19. Houseling.

[krispos42]

39. Shack? Hut? Housette?

We don't conjegate! We don't need no conjegation!



We don't need no stinkin' conjegation!

[Left Is Write]

11. The Pronettes?

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. ...

There's all kinds o' stuff I could do with that. :rofl:



I felt so happy that I almost cried, and then he punctuated meeeeeee

[Left Is Write]

17. I'll give you a B. You get full points for effort, but I have to deduct for your iffy meter.

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. Hey, a key part of effective music parody

is iffing up the meter. :P

[Left Is Write]

25. Yeah, but you added three whole syllables!

You can't be polysyllabic there! You have to be monotonous. Monogamous. Whatever.

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Tell that to Frank Zappa

The most prolific meter-iffer-upper of our time. :P

He was NEVer monogamous. Monotonous. Whatever.

[Left Is Write]

31. True. But did he write for the Pronettes?

I think you may be thinking of the Pronelles.

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. ...

I need a "surrender" smilie.

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

34. At your service:

[Call Me Wesley]

15. The only reference I could find was in 'Finegans Wake' by James Joyce:

Proserpronette whose slit satchel spilleth peas. Belisha beacon, beckon bright! Usherette, URGES AND unmesh us!

You're overestimating me! :cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. You should've looked in 'Finian's Rainbow'

Starring the Man from the Off-Licence.

[Call Me Wesley]

23. Nah,

but you should look in your PMs shortly. (Give me approx. five minutes.)

Hey, I sound like, ya know what ...

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. Bwah!

I beat you to the PM.

[philosophie_en_rose]

4. As long as "you people" is still okay, I'm set.

:rofl:

:sarcasm:

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Y'gotta say that one just right

for maximum offensiveness.

"You... you PEople!"

:D

[Left Is Write]

7. Stop calling me a you-you!

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. 'These are captains Pierce...'

"And these are captains McIntyre."

:D

[krispos42]

21. Is this that "you're" vs. "your" thing again?

Cuz I have that down pat...

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. Nah, seriesly

Someone called Someone Else a bigot for their use of "they."

:wow:

[krispos42]

37. Well, I think that WE know what THEY are like

Us transsexual pigmy Eskimos gotta stick together!

Peace, bro...

[Redstone]

28. Well, you know what THEY say, don't you?

Redstone

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. I don't pay any attention to THEM

[Dangerously Amused]

42. I think you do. At least subconsciously.

Or you wouldn't have started this thread.

[skygazer]

35. How about "thee?"

Can I still say that? It's so hard to keep up with these rules. x(

[Zomby Woof]

40. They say the Dodgers are leading 11-3

Or that's what they say on teevee.

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. They say that?

They're right. :D

[Eurobabe]

43. I've been watching my German pronouns lately

they are much more challenging and rewarding. They change according to the cases (accusative, dative).

It's a bitch keeping track of WTF belongs in a sentence!

Ich, du, er/sie/es, wir, ihr, sie/Sie
Mich, dich, mir, dir, uns, euch, ihn, ihm, uns

:banghead:
