nothing could possibly have prepared me to read those words on wikipedia.

Michael Dow, a linguist at the Université de Montréal, wrote an article analyzing different uses of the suffix, such as the merging of "Margaret Thatcher" with "-ussy" to create the portmanteau Thatchussy.

Ok Michael

Why, I have a PhD in linguistics and several years of research in the field, yes. You might know my groundbreaking work, my opus major, about the thatchussy.

Reagan wanted some of that Thatchussy 😏

Margaret Snatcher works so much better.

-ussy is a terrible suffix for portmanteaus.

If I'm correct about how much the Wikipedia editors hate fun, there's no way that article is going to stay up long.

It was like that a few months ago already

What? I don't understand.

I refuse to believe that someone on blahaj isn't at least exposed to *ussy discourse

FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 0 pts · 2y

Depends, if they were a sex jokes I ignored them (See this page on why).

If they were trans/egg jokes about pussy they probably flew over my head because I do not relate to Women's experiences (really actually gender as a whole, see this page for more info on that).

So it might be accurate to say that I may have been exposed to it at some point here but it never stuck with me and I don't remember it, either because I didn't get it or because I ignored it due to it being a gross/uncomfortable discussion.

It's like a pizza, but also a pussy. It would be wise to let the calzone cool before inserting appendages tho.

aksdb@feddit.de · 6 pts · 2y

Don't let it cool too much, though.

That sounds kinda gross to be honest, but hey different strokes for different folks I guess.

Don't take it personally I'm Asexual and sex-repulsed.

It's part of a general joke about appending -ussy to more and more nonsensical things, implying that one is viewing this thing in a sexual context. Turning to a friend after watching Godzilla and saying 'yeah I'd love to get some of that Godzussy' is immediately funny. The pizussy is just another example of that.
