Okay here’s my pirate joke.
A ship is sailing the high seas when the crows nest guy calls down, “Pirate ship ahoy!” The captain tells the cabin boy, “Fetch my reddest jacket!” The boy brings the reddest jacket he can find and the captain puts it on. They engage in battle and sink the pirate ship. The boy asks, “Cap’n, why did you call for your red jacket?” The captain says, “So that if I should be wounded in battle the crew would not notice the blood and lose their fighting spirit.”
Next day the crows nest calls down, “Twenty pirate ships ahoy!” The captain tells the cabin boy, “Fetch by brownest pants!”
Well since we’re telling pirate jokes…
A guy is at a party and sees a pirate coming towards him. He notices as the pirate approaches that the pirate has a little wheel sticking out of his pants.
Naturally curious, the guy asks the pirate, “why do you have a little wheel sticking out of your pants?”
“Arr,” says the pirate. “I don’t know, but it be drivin’ me nuts!”
How appropriate! You fight like a cow.
That is a sail…
It’s a multifunctional sail.
Do they also pronounce “human” as “hugh mon?”
If so, that’s a Ferenghi ship.
female as an adjective for clarification (like “oh you’re looking for that female doctor over there”) is ok, female as a noun is just weird
There are contexts where it makes sense, mostly medicine or science, but even in those contexts it’s deliberately dehumanizing, which is the point. It is also the only English word for a female human that does not imply age, as woman and girl both do.
The quick sniff test: “Males and females”? Clinical, but probably fine. “Men and females”? Fucking Ferengi freak, avoid that guy
Unless you’re speaking about (non human) animals. Saying a dog is a female is fine.
Excuse me, but my dog is a lady.
(An obnoxious, clumsy, stupid lady but…)
I knew it! Once I suggested this to someone assuming they’re, like me, not a native speaker, and got downvoted to hell. Turned out I was too woke.
But isn’t calling her a bitch also fine in this case?
To be fair, the existence of animal breeders is not fine.
true! connotation is a weird thing.
Uterus having creatures
Squishy Chested Humans
Temperamental Beings
Confusing Loud Wind Atronach
Ever Bleeding Never Dying
Human human Grower
I personally like “Men v2.0”
I wonder if the joke would work better if it actually was a black background. This might also keep the ‘its a sail’ gang happier.
These very same people would have no problem calling women ‘people that birth’.
You people have some weird hangups.
How do I formally refer to a girl I do not respect(because she’s a menace) who is late 40’s early 50’s? So the different terms have implications I don’t care for it want to convey.
bitch, or even better, motherfucking bitch asshole
Karen?
I would get creative with it, just because she’s horrible doesn’t mean you don’t get to have a good time. “The purveyor of lies”, “fount of unreason”, maybe give her a nickname that relates to one of her mistakes. If you can come up with something new every time it can become like a game, even if you’re only saying them in your head.
Good time of what?
Have a good time coming up with insulting names
Ahh yeah. 🤣
I’ve been going with troll lately.
Wench? Maybe hag?
I might like a wench.
Someone in their late 40s is not a girl.
Right, so I’m not calling her that.
It definitely looks like you are.
From the point of view of that girl you’re a red flag anyway. But “a menace” works too.
Red flag? I’m not trying to date my dangerous old hag of a downstairs neighbor. I’m actually filling a restraining order against her.
Yeah I mean, if people were filing restraining orders against me, I’d certainly take that as a red flag to avoid them 😅
I can’t remember how many times I’ve heard women refer to “males” but if we call them females that’s offensive?
Who the hell are you hanging out with? I’d say the term female is used way more often than male.
The American left has gone just as insane and extremist as the right. Here in Canada we’re wondering what you people are on. Even my wife says you’re an idiot if you’re offended by the word “female”.
The American left has gone just as insane and extremist as the right.
Maybe stop consuming so much biased news?
Yeah we aren’t insane in my country like you guys. We’re watching from the outside, and you guys are utterly blind and lack any sense of personal responsibility
…I’m Canadian
Then stop jerking off to American politicians
The pot calling the kettle black?
Even my wife says you’re an idiot if you can’t understand that language is constantly changing and evolving. Female has become an undesirable work to use to describe women, as it’s so often used by incels and other undesirable groups of people. In combination with the fact that female describes one’s junk, not how they identify, it just isn’t a good word to use when you’re actually talking about women.
Yet many many women disagree with you. So maybe don’t be such an authoritarian and hateful towards those that aren’t as “enlightened” as you. I’m sure your farts smell like cinnamon, that’s why you think you’re better than everyone. That’s one of the big issues with today’s left and why the older ones think you’re nuts, you’re all so hateful and talk down to everyone and demand, with very fascist authority, that everyone to follow your view.
I had sex with a female yesterday.
/s
Human?
Maybe… The femoid also says she loves when I compile the Linux kernel
Oh, it’s a fembot.
It really is just an anti-trans thing.
Naw, they were using that before all the anti trans nonsense. It’s more about their inability to see women as human. They identify them more for their gender than being the same species as them. If they started calling them women that would humanize women too much…
Nah, it was a thing for weird dudes well before trans rights entered the public consciousness.
I call women “femei”
Is it bad?
Yes, fun idea. No problem with that but… that ‘flag’ is a sail. They’re different things.
A sail is just a giant flag that says “I’m a boat!”
Using a sail to fly your colours is a red flag.
Sus. Having any issue with a red flag meme. /s
Immediate red flag in my book
Those are not flags either, those are pages. smh
I feel like I’m going to fall into one of the Myst ages looking at that book.
Remember, pirates did fly red flags as well as black ones. The red ones meant you were extra fucked.
Sometimes the black one meant they just wanted your hats.
Benjamin Hornigold. No I’m not making that up.
What was the point of the red flags? Or… why would anyone choose to fly a red flag? I’m trying to understand why anyone would broadcast “if we come near you, you’re fucked”. It seems a bad hunting strategy.
Also, why didn’t merchant ships fly red flags to be less bothered by pirates?
Red meant that no quarter would be given, they’re going to fucking kill you. Black flag meant they would take your shit without slaughtering you. Granted, fighting back would still get you killed either way. Pirates tended to make examples sometimes, or want revenge, thus slaughter. Of course if they didn’t kill everyone, they might press-gang you into service, and now your a pirate too. So red means you’re dead.
I get what you’re saying, I’m struggling to understand why any pirate would ever want to fly a red flag.
If you saw a pirate ship with a rainbow flag though , you’re in for a mean margarita and a good time.
I think they’re still after your booty.
But my booty is a treasure only for me and the crew to enjoy.
All that piracy, all those years, and the memories the captain and crew were building together is the real treasure.
I hope they don’t run me through with their sword
I think black was like, “We just want your shit and we’ll let you live if you surrender” while red was like, “We’re gonna kill and then take your shit or take your shit and then kill you, either way you will not survive,” kinda thing.
