    @jensorensen I was there & saw it first hand. The right didn't like women saying they didn't like guys they didn't even know calling them 'girl, honey, babe'. They didn't like Black men saying 'don't call me boy'. They didn't like gays saying 'don't call me fag'So they consulted their marketing people & had George Bush the First call all the people who listened a nasty name

    @dillyd @smellsofbikes @meganL In Italian we generally call them "tende" (plural of "tenda", but the singular is mainly used for the camping tent), but for the thin ones is familiarly used the diminutive "tendine", while for the thick ones the augmentative "tendoni" (masculine).And Merry Christmas to people thinking Italian is easy 😄
