There's a difference between offering a correction to someone who might not know they're using a (meaningless, redundant, clumsy, pseudo-intellectual) word incorrectly, and getting one's knickers in a twist over the use of (meaningful, useful, flavourful, authentic) colloquialism.

You shouldn't let it bother you now.

Oh, honey, no-one's getting mad but you. Why would anyone criticize the use of "y'all"? That's one of those fabulous neologisms that add character and precision to language, as opposed to redundancy and imprecision. The English language long ago lost the second person plural (like vous in French) — it's high time we

So you don't like fucking on TV, but you don't mind fucking the English language? ;)

The message is "Stop using meaningless words incorrectly unless you want to sound fucking stupid."

I wish you weren't such a dick, yeah

Given there's no objective measure of "funny", this statement is horseshit.

Your boyfriends own Key and Peele? Because that is the only explanation for that apostrophe, Madeleine.

As a white person, I don't get to say if something is racist or not. But as a lit grad, I do get to say if something counts as parody or not. And this does. Even if the lyrics were being sung over an actual non-ironic sexist music video, it would still be parodic, because parody is imitation with inversion, and the

Maybe women don't like you because you're always shouting at them.

John Galt would not have apologized.

Hahaha, I wish I could. But I'm pretty sure I've never heard them. I only pulled them out as a reference because that's what turned Richmond from a corporate go-getter to a brooding but surprisingly upbeat Goth on The IT Crowd.

Lily Allen writes her own songs, and she's only autotuned here to make a point.

Oh also, for fuck's sake, there's an old white guy teaching them how to shake their asses and provocatively eat bananas. If that doesn't make it completely visually indistinguishable from the original I don't know what would.
