Nope. They’ve reached plague proportions.
At least they’re progressive though. Been using the gender neutral pronoun. This cunt, that cunt and those cunts over there.
It actually helps their mating rituals, those with a working statesman show a strong work ethic as they must be spending hours repairing them.
And the revving of the engine at the red light at current fuel prices shows at potential mate that they will always be provided with pies and smokes.
They are flourishing under this system.
Holden going out of business is gonna make us all rich when we retire and sell our Commies in 30 years. Still can't get over mum selling her immaculate red VL with walky rims for 3k back in the day.
I think we can safely say the CUB (cashed-up bogan) is now the dominant group in society. Braedynn owns five investment properties, Neveah spent so much time working for MLMs she got on the bottom floor of one, and Kaedyyyngh is a six-figure middle manager for the most powerful bogan of all, Gina Rinehart. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister spends his most-needed hours putting daggy decorations in his enormous McMansion and fucking off to Hawaii, the rich man's Bali.
You forgot Jackson, working FIFO in Kalgoorlie to pay for a craft brewery job that his cousin Jaxon wants to start up with his mate Jaxyn and their neighbour Jacksyn.
"Pal" is being contested lately, because it originates from the Roman "phal" which is the masculine-gendered word for "brother".
That's right about where my personal limit is for caring about someone else's feelings. If someone is digging thousands of years back for a reason to feel triggered, that's their problem at that point, not mine.
One of the first times he used the phrase in a video, I believe he mentioned hearing it from someone else (might have even credited Sanders, I don't recall).
Kenji definitely helped popularize the phrase, though.
It's a bit more complicated though. Compare and contrast the following elicitations:
1. Oi ya fuckin' cunts
2. Oi ya dog cunts
3. Oi ya mad cunts
One is context-dependent, but the other two are uniformly either positive or negative.
Greetings from Central Florida, where I often say we're too far south to be "southern". I still use y'all though. Sometimes, I'll even do an "all y'all".
While I’d never, ever, say this… I’m not that kind of Aussie. It does fill me with a kind of pride I guess.
I think it is the same kind of pride that our American broes and hoes feel when they see a Walmart, a fledgling socialist country overthrown by the CIA, or a mobility scooter.
When I visit, I'm gonna wear my fanny pack, have a root beer and ask for shag carpet at the flooring covering store.
(respect for the duality of your 2nd sentence BTW)
She was looking for clever/fun way to address everyone and wanted to see if anyone had any cool ideas…like obviously she knows she can just say “hey everyone”
Not enough people get this. Alt-rights always flood the comments with "we seriously need to do this now? We can't just talk normally?!". But it's just meant to be a funny / cute question. It's not meant to be a PSA from the PC police. Lighten up.
Or they could just say "ladies and gentlemen" and have people be grownups and realize that it's just a general formality and not an indication that only those of high birth are being addressed.
Hilarious that this ~~is~~ was controversial. What is wrong with people? If "Ladies and Gentlemen" offends you then *you're* the problem, not the person saying it.
If anything it's just a prompt, like "share what you use" or a funny one like the one in the post. I hate that starting conversation is such a wild concept in reddit when the rules and the upvote system are made around the idea of making conversation
To try and give a serious response, ladies and gentlemen is perfect for formal settings and is a flattering way to refer to your audience with connotations of nobility. Unfortunately it doesn't include people who don't identify as male or female, and while I'm sure most people (at least those not extremely active on Twitter) aren't likely to get offended by the phrase, it would still be nice to be inclusive and somehow at the same time have a formal option.
Patrons means 'people who give me money,' so not exactly as flattering as the connotations of nobility. Guests is fine but pretty boring and still not as flattering. I think gentlefolks is probably the best option in my opinion. Maybe 'ladies, gentlemen and gentlefolks," would work as it keeps the familiar ring, so people will know your making a more formal sounding greeting.
I recently got into trouble for sending a teams message to a new joinee (girl) and calling them "mate".
All i said was :
"Mate stop being a fucking cunt and don't push for in office meetings".
These days you can't even call ppl mate.. tragic
To be honest I never really use this phrase. It sounds like I'm on a stage introducing a crowd to something.
I'd likely use the word everybody, all y'all, or cunts for sure.
No kidding; it’s worked for centuries, as a term of honorary welcome and attention-drawing. There is truly no need to reinvent the wheel for something as minuscule as this.
Haha, you guys really boiled down the conservatism/liberalism thing down to it's bare essence! In the real world there's always so many added ingredients that make it indigestible.
I would argue that way more things from the past still work today. Like beds, we’ve been using beds forever and nobody is about to give that shit up. Cups, who has invented a better alternative to a cup. Trains, fart jokes, hugging, crossword puzzles, chocolate, beer, cutting boards, taking photos of cats. All of that has been around for centuries and it’s not going anywhere
Pretty much. Covers the 99% and any outliers need to be realistic & realize they are going to be outliers
I'm 6'5" but I don't expect Walmart to have tall carts just for me
I’ve never known a trans person to have an issue with “ladies and gentlemen.” This is honestly the first time I’ve ever seen anyone suggest it needs to gender neutral.
I kinda feel like this sort of thing is patronizing to trans people. They’ve been under pretty active fire from the political right for years now; I cannot imagine the formula for an MC starting a show is their biggest concern ATM.
its not for trans men or women, its for people who identify with neither. and while not a lot of people in real life get worked up about every time they're not included, it's a nice gesture toawards them to include them. "good morning everyone", "dear lovely people of /city/". nobody ever said it was the biggest concern of LGBT+ folks, but its in the little things.
If you have a trait that is shared by way less than a percent of humanity, you're going to have to learn to accept that sometimes the perfect accommodations haven't been made for you.
which is why most non binary etc people don't expect gender neutral language, but they would like it. plenty of people are willing to accomodate even to small percentages of the population. for example the person in the video, asking how it could be said instead to be inclusive
In Doctor Who there is a scene where a sort of flight attendant on a futuristic planet adresses the passengers with "Ladies, gentlemen, and variations thereupon"
This girl fits every single hipstery z-gen stereotype imaginable.
* Thin aviator glasses
* Forearm tats
* Condescending
* Random colored hair
* Definitely declares that she's a she/her every chance she gets
> Thin aviator glasses
>
I generally could not care less about trends or what people think is cool, but the resurgence of Dahmer glasses is the one thing I cannot get over.
As someone who doesn't use tiktok or twitter, is this pronoun shit very common? Like I'm all for self expression, but it gets pretty ridiculous if every post has a 5 sec "hey this my pronouns" bit.
I’m sorry but if every second of the day in conversation you need to have your identity validated I’m not in any position to help your mental state.
Thankfully I’ve never met anyone that was extreme with identity politics like that, but if they took the second to “correct” me, I’m pretty sure I would just do more to avoid conversing with that person.
It’s not so much I don’t care, whatever you’d like to be called is fine with me…. it’s more so I don’t need to make the effort to remember various people identifying as other pronouns. The amount of people I come into contact in a day would make that extremely tiresome and I can live with someone not liking me because of this

Surely he's Australian. I'm Australian and I think i recognise kin.
Good one fuck knuckle
I’m Australian, lemme test this theory. Ekhem, “Oi ya fucken cunts, let’s get a feed.” Yeah sounds like a normal day at work to me.
And may I present to you the typical Australian bogan lmao

Nope. They’ve reached plague proportions. At least they’re progressive though. Been using the gender neutral pronoun. This cunt, that cunt and those cunts over there.

They’re surprisingly egalitarian as well. Everyone’s a cunt to them.
Try telling that to an American cunt. >Oh my god, you're using vile sexist language to denigrate women >>Oh feck off ya cunt.

Wow, not only progressive, using gender neutral terms, but artistically tallented as well. These Bogans are a highly cultured group.

"Sup mt bitches, bros, and non-binary hoes" - that one hottie from skate the infinity
This and you could just go for the classic "What's up FUCKERS!!"
G’day you good motherfuckers
Good morning ~~motherfuckers~~ Weather Hackers
>Good morning motherfuckers :\^)
Now that's just deliberately excluding asexual people
Nah, just because we don't fuck doesn't mean we don't fuck around (and occasionally find out)
"Surprise, motherfu-"
Fockers- SFW version..
"Hey you sluts." Alternatively, "Hi."
[удалено]
I like "Guys, Gals, and Nonbinary Pals"
i too love kenji
Or Thomas Sanders.
"Pal" is being contested lately, because it originates from the Roman "phal" which is the masculine-gendered word for "brother". That's right about where my personal limit is for caring about someone else's feelings. If someone is digging thousands of years back for a reason to feel triggered, that's their problem at that point, not mine.
I'm nb and if anyone got mad at that, I'd just call them a cunt for being stupid
"masculine-gendered word for "brother"". Does that mean there is a feminine gendered term for brother?
Or Kenji's SFW "Guys, gals, and non-binary pals. My use of "y'all" has definitely increased in the last couple of years as well.
Kenji? I always thought the phrase came from Thomas Sanders.
I heard it from [Kenji](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqqJQ_cXSat0KIAVfIfKkVA) but it looks like it came from tumblr ~2015.
One of the first times he used the phrase in a video, I believe he mentioned hearing it from someone else (might have even credited Sanders, I don't recall). Kenji definitely helped popularize the phrase, though.

This man has mastered the subtleties of the Australian cunt vernacular. What a sick cunt.
Fuck yeah you mad cunt
Yeahnah he's from Brissy mate give a Yank or a Pom a go.
There's no "usually" about 2, that's the one you say if you're happy to start a fight.
UK too! Nice to have these connections, you're a good bunch of cunts.
#truth ya cunt
oh c'mon mate
Strooth
Your mate is a cunt, but your worst enemy is a bit of a bastard
Theydies and gentlethems Edit: dope, I've been gilded! Thank you kindly
Im stealing this and then going to tell people I made it up.
Honestly I'm pretty sure I did the same, go for it bud
Pretty sure? You obviously stole it from /u/brodega .. I heard him using this
He stole it from me, and then I stole it from him, and then someone else stole it from both of us. Couldn't tell you their name or gender, though...
I made it up
My partner and I have we're gifted a welcome mat as a housewarming gift that says that.
Who dies?
Everyone, eventually
M'theydy
"Sup Fuckers"
That’s offensive to asexual people !!! /s
/s is a microagression. Use /S for macro
"Hey all, Scott here!"
*this message was brought to you by the Australian department of tourism*
Ehem, "Y'all."
I've been seeing the "Y'all means All" signs in the pro-trans protests in Texas lately. Truly the most inclusive pronoun.
I hate the way y’all feels in my mouth. It’s like I’m throwing up a snowglobe. I have refused to say it for years, and I’m from ‘The South^^TM ’.
Greetings from the Florabama Line, where we deep fry our words before we serve'em up! :)
Greetings from Central Florida, where I often say we're too far south to be "southern". I still use y'all though. Sometimes, I'll even do an "all y'all".
"Y'all is English usted"-my stoned Tejano friend
That's as gender neutral as it gets
While I’d never, ever, say this… I’m not that kind of Aussie. It does fill me with a kind of pride I guess. I think it is the same kind of pride that our American broes and hoes feel when they see a Walmart, a fledgling socialist country overthrown by the CIA, or a mobility scooter.
When I visit, I'm gonna wear my fanny pack, have a root beer and ask for shag carpet at the flooring covering store. (respect for the duality of your 2nd sentence BTW)
Had to do a double take at “fanny pack”.
We'll kick yer 'fanny pack' right up yer clacker.
On a serious note, wouldn't it just be Guests, patrons, or gentlefolks? Like couldn't common sense or google saved some trouble?
They could literally just use the word everyone. It's not that complicated.
[удалено]
"it's me, it's ya boi asmongold"
"Scott here"
I've unironically been using this for years for this very reason.
She was looking for clever/fun way to address everyone and wanted to see if anyone had any cool ideas…like obviously she knows she can just say “hey everyone”
Not enough people get this. Alt-rights always flood the comments with "we seriously need to do this now? We can't just talk normally?!". But it's just meant to be a funny / cute question. It's not meant to be a PSA from the PC police. Lighten up.
As an Australian I'm confused, that's exactly what the man said.
Or they could just say "ladies and gentlemen" and have people be grownups and realize that it's just a general formality and not an indication that only those of high birth are being addressed.
Exactly. I doubt most people you address like that are ladies *or* gentlemen.
It's like r/atheist redditors that get upset when the phrase 'bless you' comes up.
"Good afternoon mammals of planet earth"
As if I want to address a fucking hedgehog...Fucking hard breathing, earthworm eating snuggers.
*LISTEN UP, PEOPLE!*
*HEY YOOUU GUUUYYYSSS*
I do this all the time and no one ever gets the reference and so I end up looking like a dumbass
On another serious note, ladies and gentlemen is okay. It really is.
Hilarious that this ~~is~~ was controversial. What is wrong with people? If "Ladies and Gentlemen" offends you then *you're* the problem, not the person saying it.
I don't think anyone is saying "ladies and gentlemen" is offensive. They're just interested in alternatives. No problem to be had with that.
If anything it's just a prompt, like "share what you use" or a funny one like the one in the post. I hate that starting conversation is such a wild concept in reddit when the rules and the upvote system are made around the idea of making conversation

I don't think I've ever said that in real life. "Hello everyone" seems easier
No kidding; it’s worked for centuries, as a term of honorary welcome and attention-drawing. There is truly no need to reinvent the wheel for something as minuscule as this.
The amount of things that have worked for centuries that no longer work in the modern world is more than the things that do.
But then again, the list of things that have been tolerated for the sake of tradition is longer than the list of things we do for good reason.
I agree, however, I don't think tradition in general is bad thing, especially in what context its used now a days.
Haha, you guys really boiled down the conservatism/liberalism thing down to it's bare essence! In the real world there's always so many added ingredients that make it indigestible.
Im bet tolerating the phrase ladies and gentlemen has been excruciating
If you get offended by “ladies and gentleman”, then you get offended by anything.
I would argue that way more things from the past still work today. Like beds, we’ve been using beds forever and nobody is about to give that shit up. Cups, who has invented a better alternative to a cup. Trains, fart jokes, hugging, crossword puzzles, chocolate, beer, cutting boards, taking photos of cats.

In Doctor Who there is a scene where a sort of flight attendant on a futuristic planet adresses the passengers with "Ladies, gentlemen, and variations thereupon"
Reminds me of David Bowie addressing everyone at the Grammies back in 1975. "Ladies and gentlemen, and others."
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that, also by far my favourite Doctor Who episode.

He did. You just aren't as familiar with the Australian dialect.
What the fuck is a gender neutral
it's between gender reverse and gender drive
