This all sounds incredibly tame and sort of goofy and good-spirited. I though it was going to be about alcoholic poisoning and broken bones.

Well, I thought the Menstrual Gator was common knowledge. The people at Walmart are just applying their book larnin'.

Well, there are some things that they don't tell you about. SKIN TAGS, for example. Everywhere. Suddenly. Or the incredible, ridiculous thirst. All the time. Cripes. It's ridiculous. But, in essence, the 'getting bigger' part is actually pretty cool, at least it was for me, because I didn't worry about weight and…

I was responding originally to punctuation marks and irony. I still think I'm right about that conclusion. Clearly, they are quoting something such a stupid person would say and how disgusting it is. The rest was just me discussing the changes that happen in language, which happen to all language and how weird that…

Because the guy in the video is white, so I assumed they were referring to him. The quote marks were to show the kind of thing he might say, which they were making fun of and calling idiotic. It was as simple as that. Not strange at all. No hidden agenda. Punctuation marks. They are useful and indicate things.

Nope. You gave me two posts. I responded to both. Come on. You know it.

I like Miley, too. I can't help it. She's so clearly running around being a normal person, doing both smart and dumb things. I can relate on some level, sans the millions of dollars. Sadly, I think, in this case, social media might very well be pissing her off because they discovered something she'd rather not have…

Okay. I guess we'll have to disagree there. I thought they were implying the gross guy and his sexist self would be saying that. Probably the quote marks.

I'm not all over the place. I've just repeated the same thing about five different ways, trying to be clear. I get your point about the negative things about cultural appropriation. Yes. True. But, after agreeing with you about that originally, which I did, I went on to discuss that thing about irony. Too, and this…

And I mean 'getting tired' in the 'it is fucking stupid' sense.

I believe the point being made was that the sexist jokes were getting tired, just as some white guy or girl saying 'we be' to be funny is getting tired. So, being ironic. But, hey, I could be totally wrong. That was my interpretation.

Well, they do take on those affectations if they play that kind of music, of course. And I imagine people who play jazz do so because they love it, not because they want to 'steal' it. Music is a connection to the possibilities of a different world, one where we might overcome racism because we are, of course, human…

I don't know that that guy is racist. He seems a little nutso for freaking out, but I don't know him well enough to call him a racist.

I'm not wrong. Read a few books on linguistics. It happens all the time. But, again, the whole point was to discuss why the use was IRONIC.

Yes! You know, it's really the best advice I can give to always trust your instincts about a situation.

No. First, I wouldn't be using these phrases for many reasons. First, I have no reason to use them ironically and that would be the only reason to use them. Second, they are dated. Third, I am old.

I was responding to two separate comments from you. So, that shows that you have a problem understanding things. :/

No. What I'm saying is that, when something gets appropriated, over time, people adopt it into the everyday language. It becomes something different. In the case of some of these expressions, they were used to sell things and interpreted as "cool" in order to make that sale. Like the expressions from other time…

Are you having a bad day or something that you would have that incredibly incorrect and weird interpretation to my comments? I think it's best to say no more to you. You're not right in the head, obviously. Go take your meds, bud.

I get what you're saying about a bunch of white frat kids who say this non-ironically and who act like they are mimicking some stereotype of what they think it is to be black. That's disgusting and racist.
