I have an announcement to make.

Shadow the hedgehog is a bitch!

He pissed on my fucking wife. It's true, he took out his hedgehog dick and pissed on her. And then he said it was "this big" and I said "that's disgusting!"

The title text is necessary on this one.

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 child)

Why?

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 1 point 5 months ago

It explains the "my wife" reference, which isn't immediately clear from the statement about "my husband". At least to my pop culture illiterate brain.

Just say partner. It's a better description of what a marriage should be AND it's gender neutral

Yes! And you've nailed one of the most common.

Mind you, none of the ones I've run into reach the degree of usage y'all does.

But, there's we's, we'ns, and us'ns

This is all in my local area, or in areas close enough to have visited frequently.

No idea what yankees use for dialect first person plural, but we'ns down hyuh have it figgered out right nice.

However, if you want the dialect mind fuck of all mind fucks, wait until someone needs to address a large group of mixed sub groups and breaks out "all'a y'all'ns" which is said as a single unit all'a'y'all'ns. All of you all ones. It's like a black hole of linguistics that sucks you in, and the closer you get, the more spaghettified your brain becomes.

They ain't nuthin much more sigogglin than suthren talkin, an if'n it's in the hills (aka mountains), y'all gonna have ta step quick ta keep up. Shit far (fire) and save matches, y'all damn feriners done missed out on some got dayum good talkin!

Always sounded weird and corporate to me. Easiest to just ask what your SO would prefer to be called and not worry about what people might think when you say it

The movies plot revolved around making Pamela Anderson his wife. The first scene he introduces his wife, then there's the scene in the middle when the guy brings a telegram saying she died. And he fed Congressman Bob Barr some cheese that he said his wife made with milk from her tit. He probably says the phrase a dozen times in the same inflection.

There's also a scene in the show where he introduces his wife, his other wife, his mistress, his sister, and the one he has to pay.

This was my original introduction, which left me incredibly confused as I’d not seen 2001 at the time either. In retrospect, it’s hilarious.

I thought this was referencing Will Smith at the Oscars until I read the alt text.

Was Borat before the Will Smith thing? I don't know. The past is such a long and windy place.

I would not have thought of Borat without the alt text. My mind went to Henry Youngman "Take my wife... please"

[–] JimmyChanga@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 child)

Thought he meant Adam Buxton

[–] Rug_Pisser@piefed.zip 3 points 5 months ago

Unfortunately I'm not sure Buckles is quite the cultural phenomenon that Borat was. I am sure he's okay with that though.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 2 points 5 months ago (1 child)

A solution is "my partner". Although I don't use it myself, I think it's a better term, if the relationship is a good one.

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 2 points 5 months ago

That's good when you're not married. "My spouse" is a good neutral term when you're married
