When it comes down to it "vinegar" is kind of getting too close to the n word

Anyone not saying "acetic acid" is committing a microagression

I hate to go all "ackchyually" on you, but vinegar is a 5-8% solution of acetic acid. Anyone not saying "a 5-8% solution of acetic acid" is committing a microagression. Pure acetic acid is referred to as "glacial" acetic acid, which is clearly cultural appropriation by northern Europeans.

I actually say acetic acid as often as I can because I am a dork

Always wanted a girl that can't say "No"!

Actually, not really... super rapey.

"Do you want to sleep with me?"

"False"

Doesn't need to say "no" to decline.

"Wanna fuck?"

"I don't. Fuck off."

Since she says "cheesy chips" instead of the n-word I'm guessing she has another phrase for it. Maybe "Denied"?

Reminds me of a story I read about a guy who realised that they named their dog poorly when it got out and got lost and had to walk around the neighbourhood shouting "Snickers!"

Surely Niger is even worse.

I don't know if it was a joke but I remember seeing a black American lady having a moment when they heard that Montenegro is in Eurovision. Chuckled at that

Reminds me of the sordid history of the word "niggardly" (which means cheap/stingy).

Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 2y (2 replies)

And apparently has nothing to do with the word "removed". I think the word was used in my translation of The Twelve Caesars and I had to look it up. Turns out there's a whole Wikipedia article on it

Btw how did the n word become like this? Why isnt it like queer for example?

Anticorp@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

It was going that way, but the anti-racism movement changed the course.
