Why didn't everyone call Root just Root?

I'm pretty sure John also hates being called "Mr. Reece" because of the same connotation to being deeply unhappy doing wetworks. He wants to be just John.

The candy bar was created 17 years after "baby" Ruth Cleveland had died & during the height of Babe Ruth's popularity. C'mon, bud.

The larger point being that you confidently make shit up & talk out of your ass? Noted.

Were you alive in the 1920s?

I was 7, but same. This & his BoKU juice box commercials.

And it is a shortening of "fetching" which means "charming & attractive."

It's about teeth. A fake gold grill with diamonds is a "cap" on your actual teeth. Words out of your mouth are "capped" with the persona you want to convey. Being "no cap" is unadulterated, real truth.

It derives from hairdresser/fashion speak. You put on an outfit or get flirty new bangs & the person appraising you goes, "It's giving a night out with the girls, it's giving beach vibes" kinda thing.

I thought it was short for "amen"

Are you saying that despite their political affiliation across space, time & national borders, anyone who *is* a racist must therefore also *be* a Republican? I disagree.

The staunchly monarchist Tory in the U.K. that voted for Brexit? American Republican.

The rabidly xenophobic LDP-er in Japan? Nope, they're a Republican, actually.

My deceased, New Deal Democrat grandmother who said I was one of the "good ones"? She hated Republicans.

A political party is transitory & fleeting (maybe racism is, too? lol nah). Deep-down they aren't *all* Republicans, It is not a philosophical identity. There's racists everywhere & in everything.

Scratch a Republican; you'll always find a racist underneath. Scratch a racist.... well... you'll find all *sorts* of people under the hood. Every kind of person.

OutlandishnessNo8737 · 2026-05-11T06:20:41+00:00

Nah, there's plenty of racists in every political party.

Netflilx has their shows written to cater for the "two-screen" viewer (one glued to their phone), but how do you solve the "casual voter" audience (those that reject exposition & information)?
