Well stated!

“Strident” is also a feature that applies to some fricatives.

It’s actually quite accepted these days.

Did they have a brain tumor for breakfast?

I’m surprised this piece didn’t mention the big nude scene in ‘Hall Pass’ - it featured a full-frontal scene with a VERY attractive and VERY well hung African-American and a white guy with a micro-penis. I feel like the subtext with that scene and how it reflects the American psyche would fit in well with the essay.

I’m often overcome with the desire to chose between the P or the V when I’m overwhelmed by the menu at a KFC.

I know this is incredibly difficult for the writers at Jezebel (and many commenters) to understand, but, Beyoncé is just a woman who sings a couple catchy songs. That’s it.

This movie is gonna suck so bad.

Susan Gurney is clearly an ignorant self-hater. Women experience cognitive decline after 55, but magical men don’t? Makes sense, so let’s put a man who is 2 years older than the woman running) in office. And the thing about the way they speak? Whaaaat? She hears rationality, intelligence, and coherence when Trump…

I’m sure Oscar Wilde’s ghost is thrilled.

Nah, Brits love laughing at themselves. It just has to be funny.

This is what pisses me off about this. In most mental health care facilities workers are generally paid less than $12 dollars an hour to non-violently deescalate situations like this. My mom worked in a group home and got punched so hard that she had a black eye for over a month, and if she had retaliated or hurt…

I’m southern so I can say this.

This isn’t strategic. This is a narcissist striking back at an enemy (Obama’s remarks must have cut him real deep). Avenging his ego is vastly more important to him than running an effective campaign.

She is the best seat-filler of all time! AKA Chicken Cutlets, she is the patron saint of famewhores.
