- TallGuyShort 7y agoAn easier-to-pronounce corruption of the name spoken with disdain is hardly a "secret handshake"
- caconym_ 7y agoMore like a dog whistle.
- abstractbarista 7y agoYou learn something new every day! I'm going to start using this. Not because I care (unaffiliated), but because I'm astounded that anyone could be seriously offended by this.
- jhayward 7y agoThat's what jerks do. "To own the libs". I recommend not being a jerk.
- justincredible 7y agoShould be the "Pedantic Party".
- Hnrobert42 7y agoI don’t know if anyone gets offended anymore so than they would to a “your mom” joke. Saying it is mostly just funny to one group while being annoying and juvenile to another. Generally speaking, I avoid name-calling and ad hominem attacks no matter how good they feel. Folks are doing enough trolling. We need more civility.
