HI ALL

8:15 am

MollyL

Name that proper noun...kids cereal with an alien logo.

8:18 am

hokie carla

I don't know, but I just found a slur

8:22 am

MollyL

Are you going to lecture about it for the rest of the day?

8:22 am

MLFAN17

hello

8:24 am

hokie carla

I thought we might discuss why it's still allowed here. ;)

8:25 am

MLFAN17

ty for the se7

8:25 am

MollyL

Okay, I just went to Amazon to see if they still sell the cereal I mentioned (they do) and found a cereal called (I am not kidding) Poop Like A Champion.

8:26 am

hokie carla

wow, that's what I want to look at while I'm eating

8:30 am

MollyL

It says it has the "ultimate colon cleansing formula". Mother Klump (Sherman Klump's mother from The Nutty Professor) would be so happy.

8:31 am

hokie carla

seems like they should just make you eat that for colonoscopy prep then

8:31 am

Judi

Good morning, all. LOL, Molls. Just wondering if that cereal is a real thing or a goof. I think I'd frame it and hang it in the bathroom.

8:31 am

hokie carla

holy cow, just found another slur!

8:32 am

bichon

fa?

8:33 am

hokie carla

no, these 2 are allowed - da4 and of4. fa is too short.

8:33 am

hokie carla

but it is there, so that must be today's theme

8:33 am

MollyL

There is actually a whole line of Poop Like A Champion products. Gummy chews, tea, colon cleansing powder.

8:34 am

Judi

* gobsmacked *

8:34 am

hokie carla

wow. where are they made?

8:34 am

MollyL

You missed yi4 Carla

8:35 am

hokie carla

thanks, had to skip that. have never heard of that.

8:36 am

Judi

Not a politically correct grid today.

8:36 am

MollyL

Wow, you have never heard the term yi4?

8:36 am

hokie carla

nope

8:36 am

MollyL

Short for yi7?

8:37 am

hokie carla

well, that makes sense I guess, but still no

8:37 am

MollyL

We have to hope that "someone" doesn't check in today or it will be time for THE DISCUSSION

8:39 am

Judi

Let's debate the use of slurs vs. potty mouth words.

8:40 am

hokie carla

it's fine if someone wants to voice their complaints about the words, but it doesn't change the fact that they are on the word list this game uses, and are therefore accepted in the grid.

8:41 am

Judi

Perhaps there should be a link for counseling for those who find such things unacceptable or offensive.

8:42 am

mael

no one is disputing that the slurs ARE in enable, just discussing why they still are

8:45 am

hokie carla

no, I think sometimes people argue that it should be removed specifically from this game, which would require the creator to come up with his own huge word list instead of using the free, un-updated enable one.

8:46 am

Judi

Waaaah! I saw a bad word! * melts into puddle *

8:46 am

hokie carla

cleanup on aisle 3!

8:47 am

mael

oh judi, are you fighting for the right to use slurs? That's something.

8:48 am

Judi

Nah. I'm anti-slur in the real world. No objection to their existence in Babble though.

8:48 am

hokie carla

don't want to speak for her, but I don't think she is. I think she is saying looking at a word in a word game is not using a slur in context.

8:49 am

mael

it's still a slur. I just don't think objecting to people objecting is... necessary.

8:50 am

hokie carla

oh, just found fa5, must've been what bichon was saying.

8:53 am

rururocks

sometimes it's just wood though

8:54 am

mael

the ones that have multiple meanings are really not the issue

8:54 am

mael

but, you know, I'm queer AND italian so.

8:55 am

rururocks

that I agree with multiple meanings

8:57 am

mael

and I don't care about da4, we're not exactly a persecuted group, but yi4 is nothing but a slur

8:57 am

hokie carla

can we count fo5 as a slur against old folks?

8:58 am

rururocks

i kind of find da4 offensive..

8:58 am

hokie carla

not italian, but I think da4 is definitely a slur, persecuted or not.

8:58 am

mael

it is offensive, it just doesn't bother ME, personally. I'd get rid of it in a heartbeat

8:59 am

bichon

It's like yid or kike, Shouldn't be accepted

9:00 am

bichon

but the fa word has another meaning

9:00 am

hokie carla

I heard of4 on NCSI: New Orleans last season. I only learned that word here and that was the first time I ever heard it in the wild.

9:00 am

rururocks

and jewed.. but that's mostly so Kaplan doesn't get upset :D

9:00 am

mael

it was definitely meant as a slur and used as one and affected immigrants negatively, it shouldn't still be a thing

9:00 am

mael

but the antisemitic ones are just horrid

9:00 am

Judi

They are indeed, Mael.

9:02 am

Judi

Anyone have a clue for the go7?

9:02 am

hokie carla

any word used to disparage a group of people is bad

9:03 am

hokie carla

but if it's on enable, it's allowed here

9:03 am

mael

I'll argue that some are worse, but yeah. They are bad.

9:03 am

rururocks

the most goo judi

9:03 am

hokie carla

thanks, ru

9:03 am

Judi

Ty, Ru.

9:05 am

hokie carla

maybe a new theme emerging.. go7 and sl5

9:05 am

rururocks

Even in my own family they would say stuff like that and in front of my wife who is a jew.. that's why I dropped out of my family

9:05 am

mael

that's awful, I am so sorry

9:05 am

Judi

That is crass, Ru. Shame on them.

9:06 am

rururocks

no filters, no common sense, no empathy, no compassion, but pure racist

9:07 am

Judi

Off to do some real work. BBL.

9:07 am

hokie carla

bye, judi

9:07 am

hokie carla

are you all from CA, ru?

9:08 am

rururocks

no.. my dad was an Okie and my mom came from Greece

9:08 am

hokie carla

from muskogee? :D

9:08 am

rururocks

so even as an immigrant the minute she set foot on land here she became a racist.

9:09 am

hokie carla

maybe greece has some already

9:10 am

hokie carla

well, have made it to 9. FF S P GG TTT

9:10 am

rururocks

similar to me hokie..but i'm down to one t

9:11 am

hokie carla

good to know

9:15 am

rururocks

5 now.. but the g and the s are bugging me

9:16 am

hokie carla

I really can't imagine what my 3 T's are. and I have the canadian ones

9:17 am

welki

'morning - i'll bet i know one of them, want a nudge?

9:18 am

hokie carla

9:19 am

welki

9:22 am

mael

rururocks

hokie carla

I tried goaty at least twice, ru

9:24 am

hokie carla

and oaty, always oaty

9:24 am

hokie carla

ooh, what was it, ru?

9:24 am

welki

hokie, how about a part of a fence made to keep those little piggies from escaping

9:25 am

rururocks

hokie carla

9:26 am

9:27 am

hokie carla

I need to eat breakfast. not getting anything.

9:28 am

rururocks

back to the grindstone for me.. bye folks

10:12 am

hokie carla

well, went to the list for last 8. of course my S was an easy 4. the rest were odd words. except I thought I was going to have to look up a 5, but it was just another word with the secondary theme of the day.

10:16 am

KnightTime

fw - finally found a g word which is an alternate spelling of a word meaning lighthearted - did not know it could be spelled that way.

10:19 am

MollyL

Wow, I had to really stretch my thinking to get the scandal involving the little piggy who went to market

10:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, I kept trying the wrong 3rd letter. got the gist after the fence part was added but still couldn't make it work until I saw the list.

10:22 am

hokie carla

KT, that was one of my last 2 G's, also had no idea you could spell it that way.

10:28 am

MollyL

Especially since the word is in reference to the Animal House attire.

10:36 am

Trifioso

hello friends

7:31 pm

Trifioso

gentle babbling here - PRAISE GOD got my first vaccine shot today, but ohhhh the headache!

7:33 pm

Gillie

From the vaccine, or getting it?

7:33 pm

Trifioso

i am assuming from the vaccine? I have heard it is a side effect. Took an ibuprofen as soon as i got home, but not fast enough, I guess

7:34 pm

Trifioso

no wait, sorry - acetominophen

7:34 pm

Gillie

Which vaccine?

7:35 pm

Trifioso

moderna. Please don't get me wrong, I am THRILLED to have the vaccine at long last! I am not a headache sufferer, however, so having one is unusual for me

7:36 pm

Gillie

Things are going pretty slowly here - I don't expect to be able to get a shot before June or July, and I probably won't have much choice about which one.

7:37 pm

Gillie

I hear that even just the first shot of the Moderna or Pfizer is considered to be quite effective though

7:39 pm

Gillie

For some reason, even though Canada is supposed to have pre-ordered more vaccine per capita than any other country, it's coming in very slowly

7:39 pm

Gillie

Oh, and congrats on getting it! ;)

7:49 pm

dcseain

i got my first covid shot today too. but i got Pfizer

7:55 pm

Trifioso

congrats, dcseain! I saw your post, and meant to congratulate you....
