Then you never met my Granddaddy. He was a Southern old-timer, so he had plenty of occasions to use the word, and thus I can verify that he said “PEE-cahn” every. single. time. Even his own children thought it sounded ridiculous. Come to think of it, maybe that’s why I feel like an idiot if I don’t pronounce it…

“He was very smug about how right he had been that it could never last.”

At this point, it’s pretty safe to assume that Trump does not criticize people for offenses of which he is not himself guilty. The more he harps on it, the more certain you can be that he is more guilty of the same offense than the person he’s accusing. I mean, think about it: What are his go-to insults? She’s a liar!…

Hmm, if you say so. I just figured he had a decent amount of affluence and prestige already when his title was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, and had his wife not been Queen, he would’ve been able to wear the figurative pants in addition to the literal ones. But hey, maybe when they first got married, he’d been…

That’s why I figure they would have it checked early on – because you don’t want to find yourself in a situation where you have to decide whether or not it’s a dealbreaker when your heart is already set on marrying this person. There are so many requirements for ~royal consorts~ that don’t feel natural or entirely…

Having seen the first season of The Crown awhile back, and being generally/vaguely aware of history of the Queen’s relationship with her dear husband, I’m not quite sure what you mean about him being “just as hungry as everyone else to join the family.” I mean, he was already born into this and several other European…

I’ve always been deeply curious about Will and Harry’s relationship with him (and with the Queen, for that matter, considering the role she played) and how they feel about, like, their own existence. It’s such a strange thing, how Diana seems to have been both the Royal Family’s victim and their saving grace, and I…

That is indeed a pertinent and amusing bit of information! I think I vaguely recall learning that when they first got engaged, perhaps. Is it bad if I say he sounds like a good match for Eugenie, based entirely on the information you’ve given me? 😁

Yes, but iirc, that was more to do with the state of her hymen and such. ☹️ Poor thing was put through the wringer for a guy who didn’t really give a crap about her.

Honestly? Yes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of our resident Royal Aficionados could confirm it as all-but-established fact. They definitely at least have some kind of intro training program, including hostage training and stuff (I know!), and they have their own official set of doctors already in place, so I’d…

Seriously, though, it’s really nice that they managed to stay under the radar juuust long enough to avoid upstaging Eugenie’s wedding, and that on the day itself, Meghan managed to conceal The Bump juuust enough that they could hold off a few more days before addressing it. I mean, I’m sure they wanted to keep it…

I don’t know how else to articulate this, but what I do know is that when I read BB&J’s original comment, and again when I read your comment, I felt hurt and defensive in a way that had nothing to do with feeling some kind of empathy for Melania or those who perform similar roles. It offended me because that…

At least calling someone a bitch usually implies a critique of the person’s actions. “Thot” is just a term used to degrade and dismiss the person’s existence as a human being. Calling someone a ho is a fairly straightforward implication of promiscuity and/or willingness to do anything for shallow gratification, but…

That’s the joke. She’s sarcastically mocking Shirley’s claim that they’re about the same age by suggesting that one would need to consider time from a radically unconventional perspective in order to see their ages as similar.

At first, when Cosby was revealed to be a) taking on the voice of a hardened prisoner even though he’d only been there for a few days, and b) still lecturing young Black men about his notions of propriety, I thought they were going to be skewering him as the self-pitying hypocrite he is. I was excited! But then it…

Hello again, daaaling! While I may have already accomplished my mission of destroying one afternoon’s productivity for you, when I noticed that this week’s SNS post was woven at the intersection of adorable small animals, queer women rocking menswear while being sexy as hell, and weighing the merits of productivity…

Ooh, “pobrecita” is a good word! Such a lovely, condescending drip about it. I gotta borrow it sometime! :D

🤨

Okay, fair enough! She’s already one of the most bullied people in the world, you know, so far be it from me to waste my efforts trying to stop one more person from joining the fray. ;)
