This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I definitely use "guy" as gender neutral. I used to refer to women as "dude" as well, but it was a bit controversial so I stopped

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!

I also follow the Less than Jake linguistic model.

We need a new word. I suggest blob

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Beware of the blob, it creeps, and leaps, and slides and glides along the floor, right through the door and all around the wall, a splotch, a blotch, be careful of the blob POP

"Ladydudes" is the way to go.

If you must use a redneckism then at least put the apostrophe in the right place.

You can't tell me what to do. (But you are still correct...)

That spelling is "ya[you] will" and I'll brook no disagreement. As in, "ya'll turn right at the Sunoco and go three more rights. Then it'll be on ya left."

The OTS is "y'all" for "you all."

[–] Qwaffle_waffle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have used y'all in a singular sense, then all of y'all in a plural sense before 🤦

That's some deep south nonsense right there.

All ya'll drawl an appall.

Gentlemen and gentle women.
