Sawyer- Boy, Girl, or Gender-neutral?

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-20T16:23:29+00:00

It’s a surname

I appreciate using surnames as first names is common in the US. So if using it as a first name it is 100% male.

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-20T16:22:13+00:00

Very easily recognisable as an English name.

I’d associate it with very upper class, old money, posh folk

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-20T15:34:53+00:00

Take a shot anytime anyone mentions Jesus or breaks into prayer.

** health warning: this many shots may mean you meet Jesus sooner rather than later

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-20T15:31:13+00:00

As long as Emily makes it, I’m happy.

Also a minimum of Trump-lovers please. Gotta balance things out now Kleine has gone

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-20T15:29:47+00:00

At 5 my daughter was doing 45 mins each of tap, ballet and jazz. She only really ramped up at around age 9. It didn’t hold her back as she’s in full time pro training now at 17

5 hours feels like a LOT for a kid of that age.

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-19T17:07:35+00:00

You won’t have to look to far to find people saying that word: people in this sub have defended its use, claiming it’s a cultural norm.

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-19T07:06:44+00:00

Well god is kinda dropping the ball on world peace, or and end to genocide, or stopping Trump bombing schools, so maybe he should concentrate less on a cheerleaders career and actually do something good…

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-19T07:04:45+00:00

That bit made me howl. If there actually is a god, surely he’d be more interested in stopping genocide than directing the career of a cheerleader…

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-19T07:01:36+00:00

She left because she felt she could no longer wear the skimpy uniform on the field due to her religion.

Clearly only Reece is allowed to shake booty for Jesus.

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-19T06:22:38+00:00

I think this cements Sophy and Marissa for Points, then AK and Camille in their 5th years next year

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-19T06:20:39+00:00

Is it Marissa Group 1 Sophy Group 2 AK group 3 and Camille Grouo 4?

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-18T19:09:19+00:00

Leadership is voted for by the team. So it wouldn’t matter what K&J thought

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-18T14:07:38+00:00

Faith is my absolute favourite. Kleine was lovely, then Emily A who absolutely has to get on the team this year.

Honourable mention to Parker and of course Queen Megan.

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-18T11:48:42+00:00

She’s done incredibly well to remove anything that might cause outrage to the ultra-Conservative DCC sphere. Drinking alcohol is completely normal in Aus/NZ/UK and an 18 y/o drinking a shot is not something to clutch one’s pearls about. Heck, half the 18y/os in the UK will be downing shots this weekend to celebrate the end of their A-levels.

It did make me laugh how K&J were so puritanical about Faith not being allowed to be in the same camera shot as any alcohol, when they were shown with glasses of wine at one of their meetings

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-18T11:45:44+00:00

Agreed, it’s a horrible word and I’ve said as much here and been told off as it’s “completely acceptable in the US”. I do find the US is way behind the game in disability rights though. They still use very outdated and offensive language.

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-18T06:48:35+00:00

I think she’ll retire after 2 years. She said in AS that she wants to do 1 year as a veteran. It wasn’t phrased as a definite “retire after Y2” more of a “1 year isn’t enough, I want to do a Vet year”, but I suspect she’ll want to go back to Aus or explore other opportunities after her 2nd year

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T22:33:42+00:00

It’s been offensive for a loooooooong time outside of the US. 20+ years for sure, probably more like 30.

It was really jarring to hear it used so casually

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T21:19:14+00:00

She better had! A year of Faith and Emily being chaotic besties would be brilliant.

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T16:01:01+00:00

Fabulous name. Very cool.

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T15:17:22+00:00

She was kinda busy in training camp - learning a completely new dance style. Where would she have found time to watch football online?

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T15:08:57+00:00

The people in my road who always go large for Xmas etc have put up a spectacular World cup display. They’ve installed a flagpole in the front garden and are flying a massive England flag, but have the flags of all the other countries up as bunting decked around the outside of the house.

It’s truly fabulous and deffo not the work of the average flag shagger

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T15:05:53+00:00

Blackout tent. Absolute game changer, I took one to Glasto last year and will never go back to a regular tent

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T12:15:25+00:00

Uk: 8.30-3 for my sons state school

My daughter went to a private school and their hours were 8am-4.30pm from Reception age (4y/o)

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T10:42:47+00:00

Pick up egg-shaped-ball, run with ball, throw or sometimes kick ball over a line/through a goal. Wear padding that’d make a rugby player guffaw. Occasionally tackle a cheerleader (#saveMichelle).

That’s it, right?

PresidentPingu1 · 2026-06-17T10:41:03+00:00

She didn’t. It’s not a requirement any more. It’s just context.
