YES. That’s a particularly grandma/auntie way to use it. Granny shade, if you will.

Those are pretty good parting gifts, I must say.

As an Alabama native, I gasped when I read that skillfully deployed “bless your heart.” I can only imagine that it was launched with a twisted, condescending smirk, and that possibility warms the bitchy cockles of my heart. Well DONE, Miss Lady.

It is definitely far less intentionally malicious than some of the other things said by GOP contenders, but that’s a really low bar. (I did mistype a bit this morning - I clearly needed more caffeine.) The problem was that he and his advisors didn’t think to include qualified female candidates in their first round of…

That really shouldn’t surprise me :(

I DID. I couldn’t be happier that Samantha Bee is back on my tv - it’s such perfect timing! :)

This is almost as bad as the binders full of women debacle. Where are my feminist women & kitchen memes?

Hee. I stand with you on this one, really. I don’t actually listen to any of his music, but I know that my sister and a lot of my friends have accidentally realized they like his new stuff and become very sad about that.

Clearly more hate for giving us Bieber EVEN WITH THE CATCHINESS OF THE NEW TUNES.

Seriously. If that were the case, every male student in my classes would be forcing daily pickup games when spring starts.

This news breaks my Alabama-born heart. I knew it was coming, but it’s still hard.

This professor works at my undergraduate alma mater, which makes me super happy. Go Blazers!

I am glad someone else caught the proto-obsession there. There is wayyyy too much commonality between Sage’s all too public note for Jordin and the pattern of stalking contacts for Mandy Moore and Gwyneth Paltrow. Maybe this particular situation won’t lead anywhere more unhealthy. But....still....it’s unnerving.

“Trump goes on to argue that he’ll be the best pro-life president, because he builds things, like, we guess, titanium uterine walls or cages to keep intransigent women in.”

...“a cardboard box full of damp, mildewed old bibles named Ted Cruz...”

This is the best explanation for jawn that I’ve heard yet. I’ll never give up my y’all, though :)

I used it around my husband, who lived all over the eastern half of the country as a kid, and he was so confused. Apparently it is a deep south thing, and that’s about it.

A fellow tumped-over user! Yay! It’s a Philly-area thing, as far as I can tell. It’s used a little out in the burbs, but I think it gets less common the further away from Philly you go.

So a better comparison might be tumped over, then. It’s a regionalism that means knocked over or upended.

I’m a Philly-area transplant, and I’ve had the “what is jawn?” conversation with my bartender many times. Still not completely sure about it, but it is better than the “wooder” pronunciation...
