I wonder what Zelda came up with for that introduction

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (4 children)

"Xylophone Zelda". Really fucked over Xenias introduction

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Uh, xylophone doesn't start with Z, back to kindergarten until you learn your letters.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He can blame english phonetics. Also X being kind of a joker letter. "Why does eks make the sound zee?"

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

The teacher clearly said "letter" though, so phonetics shouldn't come into it. If they were named "Pete," "Psycho Pete" would be reasonable and probably accurate.

Also, xylophone is a noun anyway, so after they redo kindergarten, they'll need to go back to second grade (or maybe first?) and relearn basic grammar.

Finally, English phoenetics is an oxymoron, but I don't think kids get into that concept until later on in school, so I'll give you a pass for now. But everyone knows English pronunciation and spelling aren't related and you just end up memorizing everything anyway.

But X starts with Z, so q.e.d.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can't fault that logic.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Skill issue

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Hey, you said qed, that means it's proven.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago

Gotta be xenophobic Xenia now, sorry, I don't make the rules

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

"Zyougottabekiddingme Zelda"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I don't know what's worse, naming your kid after a fox that uses Linux or a suburb of Dayton.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago

depending how she's feeling, zany, zen or zealous?

Or zonked, if she smoked a fat dart beforehand

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 8 points 2 months ago

Zealous?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Zooted Zelda (she on coke)

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Would zooted even work in that case? Don't usually see it used for uppers

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh absolutely! At least in my area, “zooted” describes being predominantly on cocaine, but also amphetamines as well.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yep, same here. Also acceptable to be zooted on shrooms, even though those are wildly different things.

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Ah here zooted would be similar to baked/stoned.
