Is bozo making a comeback?

tacotroubles@lemmy.world · 38 pts · 14h (4 replies)

Every 10-15 years it pops up

danc4498@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 12h (3 replies)

It should never go away. It's fun to say. It's fun to hear. It feels like it conveys the exact meaning you want when you way it.

100% agree, nothing hits like being called a bozo

Just wait till it gains a racist undertone.

Perhaps from Spanish bozal, used in the slave trade

Until it starts becoming a slur, all old lingo comes back after skipping a generation or so.

And names. How many years before we start having Betty, Wilma, Frances, and Edith again?

I think white people names are overrepresented in the names chosen by white people. Instead of naming your kids France, name them Equatorial Guinea or United Arab Emirates.

victorz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 6h (1 reply)

You mean Equatorial America and United American Emirates.

NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io · 1 pts · 6h

Yes.

Can you look at a newborn infant and seriously say "your name is now Edith"?

I think names need 3 generations or so before coming back

You know, maybe it is . . . I was watching a Caves of Qud let's play the other night and wondering why the guy kept calling every enemy a bozo.

Going to save this for when some unc millennials need to be put in their place.

Trex202@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 13h (1 reply)

As an unc millennial, I am constantly needing to be put in my place, no cap

peopleproblems@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 9h

As a fellow unc mellennial, waking up in the morning usually results in reminding me of my place.

Many, unfortunately, have.

He just looks like he has seen the horrors of his late 30's

When skynet was delayed until 2026 he never needed to become the man, the myth.

Leviathan@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2h

It's funny, I went to highschool with a dude who I thought looked a lot like him back then. We reconnected last year and he looks almost exactly like this. Does a lot of blow.

It was cringeworthy enough in its original form 😬

SarahValentine@pawb.social · 34 pts · 13h (2 replies)

He's a 10 year old kid. If you cringe over that, you forgot your own life.
