Is there even a point to that reference? Like, what part of the Beyoncé + fancy dress* + ?? equation equals Jay Z jizzing on it? Do I just not listen to enough pop music? Am I old?

WTF. Really? Just paint the damn picture and keep your political commentary out of it. Jesus. Can we repaint the official portrait of Reagan to make commentary on how his AIDS policies killed thousands of people?

You're probably trolling (weakly may I add) but, I'll briefly bite:
1) Hygiene - he's got a FRESH shave (seriously looks smoother than a baby's ass), a clean goatee/mustache (what's that called in combo anyway?) and no dirty, matted hair poking from under the hoodie.

2)Which brings us to Dress - clean clothes. ALL of…

How was he acting strange by talking to his wife and her friends?

Apparently, only black people have to dress in their Sunday best to get some respect. White people can still dress how they want! Lol :(

Okay, you're crazy. It absolutely is about etymology. You actually stated something to the effect that the writer should have used "actual words". I am simply pointing out that "snitch" is just that- an English word. By the way, do you mean conjunction? Cause that's what that sentence you quoted starts with. In any…

It's funny, because she is exactly the kind of Jez poster who people complain about on Gawker and the other GM websites. The humorless poster who gets offended at EVERYTHING. The kind that screams at you about "sexual violence" when you say "butthurt", say that you are fat shaming when you express concern over…

Fun fact: "Snitch" is an actual English word and it has been since 1785.

There's a difference between "smart" and "useless pedant." Perhaps one day you'll learn it.

I don't shame smart people. I shame people who feel the need to try as hard as you do. Who are you trying to convince? And of what?

See, here I thought that starting an argument on word usage to stroke your own ego was denigrating the victim's plight (although, if we are really using our heads, then we would realize that we have both used the word denigrate incorrectly). SILLY ME!

As someone who works in a museum myself, I couldn't disagree with your position more strongly. Museums are for the general public - and for research, of course, but forgetting that the general public keep the doors open (either directly through admission fees or indirectly through taxation) is short-sighted and naive…

Oh please. You think you get points for name dropping the likes of Foucault? Your arrogance just makes you seem childish. All this because someone used the word "snitched"? You are really reaching. You needed some attention, huh?

It doesn't even have to be as severe as abuse. I'm a pretty successful adult, if by which you mean good job, happily married, great kid, no addiction or alcoholism. But my mom's tendency to minimize anyone else's emotions and make everything about her* left me with some issues as an adult - I'm extremely sensitive to…

My mom does exactly this. She was a completely atrocious mother and threw me out when I was 17 because I made a huge deal about her dating a coke dealer after he made multiple deals FROM OUR HOUSE. (Dealers and addicts are her type). During the arguing he went at me and took a swing and the neighbor called the cops…

Can't star this statement enough. In my family's case, it is a collective delusion. My father was an abusive alcoholic, mom was pathologically codependent, and the extended family didn't believe in "interfering". So many horrific things were either done to us or happened around us, and no matter how dangerous or…

Oh for sure. My mother had a running narrative in her head about the glorious childhood she gave her children. And when she was in a good mood, she could be wonderful. But when things were bad, as they were often several times in a single day, they were horrible. She would become and enraged, terrifying monster…

yep. this is the case with my mother. to the outside world, she presented as a sane, brave single parent, and that's the self she believed in. her children saw something completely different and now she can't understand why i don't want anything to do with her.

Yes! Thank you. Yes. I'm not the most articulate with this whole thing but I am so damn happy someone else said. I say this ALL the time.

Exactly. I lost a very close friend of mine about 1 year and a half ago, she committed suicide. We knew she had a shitty childhood: growing in a house where she was treated like a maid (her own words) with her two brothers doing nothing and harassing her because she was overweight, being harassed at school (first…
