SecretAsianMan Posted May 18, 2014 People around here say yinz. I would not recommend saying yinz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted May 18, 2014 People around here say yinz. I would not recommend saying yinz. According to that, y'all, youse and yinz all derive from the same Scots-Irish source. I never would have guessed that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben X Posted May 18, 2014 Hmmm, "folks" is closest, though it feels a little olde time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted May 19, 2014 I just say "guys" to talk about everybody. I also call my mum and girlfriend "dude" casually though (which has never phased them, but gets weird looks from bystanders), so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ariskany_evan Posted May 20, 2014 I looooooove the-toast.net. Mallory Ortberg is one of my favorite writers: http://the-toast.net/2014/05/20/time-ive-ever-connecticut/ (her misandry reads a bit harsh at times, but articles like this (http://the-toast.net/2013/09/24/lullabies-misandrists/) make me laugh uncontrollably) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted May 20, 2014 Hmmm, "folks" is closest, though it feels a little olde time...I default to folks, it was odd at first but now it's kinda my style. You can borrow it if you'd like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spdiscus Posted May 20, 2014 I also default to folks. Three cheers for old timey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mallory is truly wonderful. One of my favorite bits that she has ever written: http://the-toast.net/2013/11/15/empowered-female-heroine/ "She strolled up to the bar and planted a firm-yet-sexy pump-encased foot down on the rail. The bartender looked at her and started pulling out little frilly umbrellas and Malibu and speared slices of ********* to make some kind of girl drink, but she held up her hand. “A whiskey,” she said, her voice low in her throat. “Neat.” Behind her the pool table exploded. Every man in the bar immediately grew a beard. The jukebox made a record-scratching sound, even though it was an mp3-playing jukebox." Edit: I forgot that ********* is banned on this forum.

"Then she kicked another guy through a window, and he fell all the way." That last bit of detail is worded so perfectly. I haven't been here long enough to understand why ********* is banned, but I approve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argobot Posted May 20, 2014 I'm almost 100% confident that there's no actual reason for banning *********. ********* p1neapple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted May 20, 2014 You just have to pay money to join the pineapple club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted May 20, 2014 Yeah, I thought it was BS at first when the Idle Forums went freemium, but the pineapple club is pretty sweet and totally worth the $20 monthly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nappi Posted May 20, 2014 I don't know about this feminism stuff. Just lots of random swearing, it seems to me. I do like pineapples, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Video Games Posted May 20, 2014 How much do I have to pay to be able to type video games as one word? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted May 20, 2014 It's hard, because you have to pay in *********s, which you can only get by going to *********. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted May 21, 2014 You need to have done a great service to the Idle Thumbs community to be entrusted with the ability to say videogames. You must demonstrate your ability to use it only for good. Don't know why I have it, maybe something's broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
