I’m kind of pleased to see that denim jackets are still in style after all these years. That attempt at a salute though is pretty goofy.

These nonsense words, according to the woman with the caterpillars over her eyes, “have been around for over a hundred years”. Color me skeptical, but even if true, so what? No ne uses this bafflegab except nemself.

CRAP! I think that should read, “No nem uses this bafflegab except nirself.” I apologize, sincerely, for mis…somethinging…
Your Name’s not Bruce?
“It’s time to talk about my pronouns….”
Talk all you want. I’m not obligated to listen, or comply with your request demand.

I’ve got one that I bought 25 years ago that still looks a month old. Those things are sturdy. Occasionally when I wear it, it’s still in style, too!

It really is amazing to me how little this has caught on for as much as it has been pushed. I virtually never see neopronouns used anywhere other than someone blathering on about their own special pronouns. They/them for nonbinary people is the only change that has caught on at all, and that was only adopting an existing usage (for situations where the gender isn’t known) rather than something truly new.
(I’ve seen a story here and there where they say person x prefers these pronouns so we’re going to use them for this article, and they do. But I wouldn’t say announcing “we’re doing this weird thing just for this article” counts as catching on.)

Numb knee near? May be time for an orthopaedist. :P
@11, not sure I understand–yes, the video was posted on Libs of TikTok, which is an account run by a conservative poster. But she is posting ‘real’ videos, made by real people, that she’s found posted on TikTok. I’m not sure how this could be a ‘parody’; it would be a pretty committed parodist who would get their hair cut and dyed just so, and get that many piercings, just to make fun of neopronouns for less than a minute.

Skeletor – oh I don’t know, sometimes the harder a thing is pushed the less people are persuaded. Sometimes the pushing itself turns people off.
@8 I have left car dealerships for that very reason. ;)
What did the english language do to this person to warrant such abuse??
First-time commenter. The video is a parody created by a conservative Twitter user. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libs_of_TikTok
Ohhhh – my bad. I know Libs of TikTok is conservative, but it shares some real stuff, so I didn’t realize it’s a parody. Thanks Leo.
Poe’s Law strikes again!
But we needed to be told – Poe’s Law :)

I suppose one could be a person of piercings and not a person of pronouns.
It seems that Leo thinks the video is a parody because it was posted on a conservative account; I don’t believe that’s a sensible inference to draw.
Re Libs of TikTok, and pronouns, this crossed my feed today:
