"I'm Chris Hansen and I need you to take a seat right over there."

Accidental compliment to a bunch of forty-somethings.

I hate how there's always some bizarre new term people are using for weird and bad reasons. "Foid". I can guess it's some weird demeaning term for women but still what the fucking fuck.

Can't speak to every state, but over here Firearm Owners Identification cards are 9-years expired when they turn 19

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's short for "Femoid", which is itself short for "Feminine humanoid".

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Yeah that's what I figured. Bizarre all around. "Femoid" was too long for these pricks.

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Cant have words longer than their penis

[–] grue@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

No, it was too respectful towards women.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Soon enough it’ll get shorted again to “fud” or “fu”. The devolution of man

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 4 months ago (4 children)

When does one become a crone? Or is that for specifically when you forsake society to live in the wilds?

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 4 points 4 months ago

When you Luigi assholes like this, but with herbs and magic. Bonus points if you can poison with mushrooms, as that thematically fits both crones and Luigi.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 13 points 4 months ago

When they first get pubes according to these fucking weirdos.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 months ago

Crone is more about personality

[–] dumples@midwest.social 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Be the Crone your heart wants you to be. Pointing a shaking finger while muttering at your enemies helps

Get outta my swamp you kids!

FBI needs to pay attention to that man's search history...

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 33 points 4 months ago

Thinking the exact same thing. Wouldn't be surprised if he already isn't allowed within 50 miles of a school.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 38 points 4 months ago (8 children)

People misspelling 'woman' annoys the hell out of me. It's literally 'man' prefixed by 'wo'. I don't know what bizarre process could lead to using 'women' instead. And it's nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 months ago

I feel like this image has more to be upset about than misnumbering the word woman.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

The difference is that one is singular and one is plural. "Theres a group of women" and "Theres a singlular woman"

People do often get the usage wrong but its not being misspelled.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

It's not, it's a mistake I've seen plenty of normal people do, including women.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I recall a particular time period in early-ish smartphone history when the stupid thing tried to correct every instance of woman in my emails to "roman" for some weird reason so that one might just be auto-correct gone stupid again.

[–] enbyecho@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

You misspelled Alfas.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

And it's nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

Nah, it's not that deep--tons of men and women make this particular mistake (writing "women" when intending to use the singular "woman") for some bizarre reason. I've observed this phenomenon for well over a decade. Notably, I've never really seen someone write "woman" when they mean "women", only the other direction. And never with man/men at all. Very odd, specific error.

Maybe it's a "should of"-type mistake, I can only guess. But what I know for sure is that it's a very common mistake, and almost certainly unintentional.

[–] stankmut@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

This type of thing sometimes happens to me when I'm writing a comment on my phone. The using a wrong version of a word, not the rampant misogyny. Its usually from changing how I wanted to structure the sentence, like changing tense or deciding to make something singular or plural, and not noticing that I missed updating one of the words.

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 34 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That and "should of" should be punishable by getting your hand cut off.

[–] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Read: "head cut off" and agreed. Sry for that.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Their not the only ones who should be punished!

[–] towerful@programming.dev 7 points 4 months ago

I'd rather stub my toe then see such simple mistakes
