There's something so anachronistic about the term 'fine young men,' like they're off to contribute to the war effort or something and have haircuts you could set your watch to.

Pissed off Canuckian, right here. God. THE FUCKERY. And, indeed, you'd think that a DoD person would be sufficiently acquainted with technology (I can't imagine how big their budget is) to know that an anonymous edit ain't so anonymous when YOU DIDN'T MASK YOUR IP ADDRESS. AT WORK.

Oh, I like your link! The one I linked to was from 2011. (Bravo, Jezebel, for covering this through the years.) I made it about 2/3 of the way through the one you linked to, had a flashback to being treated exactly how his female friend was treated, and decided it might be time to retreat to my safe space: posts about…

I'd Googled around to find the article I was thinking of (now there's some fun with keywords) and lo! it was a Jezebel article. I read a Jezebel article before I followed Jezebel! Aw.

Gah, I'm so torn about wading into this because I agree she is calling out a double standard and, however badly she's explaining it (and it's bad, and dangerous, and slippery-slope-y), I don't believe she's in the wrong. Argh, I feel weird! But it's my opinion and I'm very open to discussion. I read a Jezebel article…

Hey! Don't, um, smear all of us with the same, um, oh god. Oh, ew. Ok.

...and he is funk-ay!!!

I don't know how he counters the centrifugal force that is his side-eye and keeps walking in a straight line but, as usual, it's impressive.

hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!

I'm not sure where that sits on a scale of side-eye to 'bitch, please' but I LOVE it.

Extra letters? Given the laws of linear time and the fact that the English language started in, well, England, Americans use 'fewer' letters than the Brits.

I had a conversation with some people from Vermont a few years ago and they insisted that we said 'aboot.' I asked them to listen verrrrrrrrry carefully as I said words like 'pout' and 'snout' and they had to admit that we don't sound like we're saying poot and snoot. Though wouldn't it be fun if we did?

I was about to go on a (polite) rant about USians not understanding how to make 'eh' jokes but I thought this might explain it better. Especially as it picks on us as much as you.

Twatwaffle. I'm only ever going to be able to type that because I keep falling into fits of giggles when I try to say it. Definitely not badass.

Just tried again. Hee! Nope.

*sniff*

We might need a Shade Court ruling on this approach.

Argh, forgot I'm usually defaulted to grey. It's Parks and Rec, honest!

"I had just started dating this gal and she got pregnant."

First, way to distance yourself by saying 'she got pregnant.' Oh, but wait! YOU had the abortion. Ah, that's better. All about you again. Phew.

My old roommate and I used to call our two kittens Velcro Kitties and an oft-heard refrain in our place was "argh! not a tree!!!"
