That's cause the male version is DUUUDE!

Duuuuuuuuude is universal.

Mad: Dude!
Disappointed: dude
To male friends: Dude

And not-gendered.

I’m a dude, you’re a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes now.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I fuck dudes, why do you ask?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I also fuck dudes, why do you care?

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Just to be clear, I only fuck the sorts of dudes who want fuckin, so don't think of me as some sort of dude-fuck peddler, okay?

What company is ok with their COO saying shit like this next to their name?

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 23 points 11 months ago

Probably self-proclaimed COO of an MLM she sells shit for.

Girrrlll, you a nazi.

Maaaaannn, I love not being a Nazi.

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

Girrrlllll, it's so brave that you shared that information about yourself in public on the Internet next to a picture of your IRL face.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 18 points 11 months ago

Both of those have multiple other uses, good and bad. Maaan is used for amazement and girrrl is used for incredulity.

Shouldn’t it be „me neither“?

[–] ratel@mander.xyz 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes it should. Kind of in the same way that it should be "I couldn't care less" instead of "I could care less" which I've seen a lot more in recent years.

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bernie said “could care less” in his response to the situ last night. Made me cringe.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Literally just talking about that! I agree that the original intent (and, you know, meanings of words) should make it "couldn't" but I think the two have linguistically drifted together within the phrase.

The rules-boy in me rallies against it, but the descriptivist in me celebrates and I couldn't care less how he said it.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wittgenstein said that language isn't actually semantic in its natural state. Instead, language serves as a sort of game to accomplish social ends.

"I could care less" serves the social end of telling everyone you have no critical thinking skills and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Misandrist

[–] Panamalt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I think it probably has far more to do with phonetics and the ways different sounds carry emotion than with the gender identity we insist upon associating with specific words

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 10 months ago

So, she doesn't realize the thing she just typed out?
