And, most importantly, how many women and girls victimized by him are watching us watching him and wondering why so many of us think this is so fucking funny? Yes, he ruined lives and destroyed families and created an entire ecosystem and economy around his lecherousness and depravity, but that “Ignition” pun was…

I think you’re right about everything except this particular interview. Because in this particular interview, we’re all laughing at this stupid motherfucker for trying to cry his way outta this shit. And applauding Gayle for not giving him any applause for his acting performance.

And a marriage certificate.

I agree that loving your job and ~following your passion~ is bullshit, but I also don’t want to go too far in the other direction and normalize hating your job. IMO it’s not normal or healthy to actively dread going into work everyday, to be constantly miserable at your job. Work should be something you do to get a…

She’s probably alright. She should probably stay away from slang though.

Yeah, that kinda got on my nerves, honestly. Fuckboy was a queer community word that was basically interchangeable with ‘boy toy’ when I was hanging out at THE GAY BARS in London in the early 90s. I just think it’s a really hard expression to say, ‘fuck you, we own this’ because it’s not a hard combination of words to…

THANK YOU. thirsty has already happened. So long ago.

Guys guys guys...seriously...we ALL know who coined the term FUCKBOY... it was a hip-hop artist named “Fred Rogers”. In season 3 episode 13 of his show “Mr. Rogers Hood” he incorporated the term into his intro when instead of saying “hello neighbor” he instead remarked “greetings fuckboy”.

This is hilarious and I think describes T. Swift perfectly in just one gif.

It’s pronounced exactly how it looks. Gucci (like the brand) Mane (like horsehair). “Mane” is spelled this way to account for how it is pronounced in certain Southern dialects (he’s from Atlanta).

ugh i hate the pretentious shit...especially when they then turn around and use slang like “cool”...like...dude...I KNOW YOU DON’T SPEAK THE QUEENS 24/7 STOP PRETENDING!

fuckboy is the greatest term to call a dude to his face it’s like castrating him verbally and honestly I try to do it at least once a day.

I personally find those kind of “tee hee, I’m so white and uncool!” moves as condescending as they are corny. But I know they bring some people great pleasure and thus will surely outlast my black days on earth.

White readers love reading white writers expound on things white people think are brand new and thus white editors can’t wait to white publish said pieces and get that white revenue.

That seems right to me? Like, he really, reeeaaally ain’t shit.

This is just the latest in an epidemic of lofty trendpieces waxing etymological about hip new slang words without mentioning their origins in AAVE or their appropriation therefrom. There was an episode of Slate’s Culture Gabfest a week or two ago where the hosts just went on foreverrrr about this hip new word “squad”…

United States of Basic Bitches (who misuse slang and don’t know what they’re talking about)

Good article on appropriation. I first heard of the word in Nikki Minaj’s song and of course Kid Fury and Chrissle’s podcast Say No To Fuckboys

Damn it, Nancy Jo! Not again!

In other news, Slate, Vanity Fair, and Huff Po are all seeking applications for the position of Twenty Three Year Old Black Friend.
