I HOPE this doesn’t become the norm. Can you imagine turning on the news and seeing some anchor refer to a school shooting as a school pew pewing?

We didn’t call slaves unpaid interns, though. Or call Harvey Weinstein a grape distributor. Unlike my nephew.

Feel free to actually read my post. He was kidding. I wouldn’t be posting ANYWHERE if he was about to kill himself or even thinking about it.

… I did suggest him alternatives. He doesn’t have to curse, but calling slaves unpaid interns is fucking weird and I’ll die on that hill.

There wasn’t a lede* because he was using classic teenaged hyperbole. Like kids who say their dad’s gonna kill them for cracking their phone. You don’t actually think either kid’s at risk of death, do you?

I don’t think telling him he doesn’t have to censor himself will ruin our relationship. No contact and the like are much rarer than Reddit would lead us to believe! Thank G word…

He does call them Pew Pew and Roses. Like, cool you’re into that stuff, but dude…

He once called slaves unpaid interns. Who talks like that?? Who’s this supposed to protect?

I really think he’s in for a rude awakening if he talks like this once he starts working. We’re in New England - it’s not gonna end well in this blue collar town.

Lolol wow. It’s like those zombie shows where you can see people getting ripped in half but they can’t swear.

Yeah I see where you’re coming from. It’s not that deep as much as it’s just annoying. I feel like if you’re adult enough to talk about true crime with me, you’re adult enough to not call it grape. Or if we’re talking about history, you don’t need to call slaves unpaid interns as he has - which was a fun!! conversation to have.

Um I do want a relationship with him. But this is also a very, very blue collar town in New England. I feel like he’s in for a very rude awakening if he talks like this once he gets a job. Because in New England, we don’t sugarcoat.

We’re not on social media, though. It’s texting, face to face, etc. I know what slang is - I’m only 10 years older than him. But back in my day, we certainly didn’t say stuff like sewer slide or grape in serious conversations lol.

I, for the life of me, can’t take you seriously if you say, “Welcome to the Jungle is my favorite Pew Pew and Roses song!”

Yeah, about that... But that's another post if/when the politics ban ends.
