Trebek posted:What is a pit potty? Even google didn't help. I think that's a really worn down British take on "it's all gone to poo poo." The usual phrase is "it's gone a bit poo poo" then if you're trying to be polite it would be "it's gone a bit potty" then mispelled bit. e: one hell of a snype

Potty is also a very Little England term meaning 'crazy'.

Trebek posted:What is a pit potty? Even google didn't help. I’m assuming “pit” is a typo for “bit”, and “potty” can apparently be British slang for “crazy”. Edit: I apparently missed that a new page started, so enjoy this very out of date information.

Saw this on community FB page, it's so bad I almost think it's a parody, but it doesn't really go for it. I think I got brain damage just reading it. No, I did not crop it.

The story says 'toddler', and small children usually struggle with the latter, although it's not completely beyond the realms of possibility.

My daughter has some of her favorite books memorized word for word, including longer more complicated ones, and will frequently read other books and weave her own stories incorporating what she sees in the pictures with the books she has memorized, and she's two and a half. Little kids are capable of surprising stuff.

Yeah, it's not the recall of a popular children's movie that seems implausible, it's the razor-sharp comedic timing that made everyone clap.

Wordslut is a really good book, but some of the anecdotes have a whiff of the old stdh:quote:For all of my teenage years, catcalling distressed me so much that whenever it happened, I simply kept my head down and didn’t react. But in my early twenties, after having tickled my inner revolutionary with the teachings of a gender and language class or two, I decided to try my hand at confronting them. Because I’d heard that many men who do this are just looking for a quick reaction, and that a smile or the flick of a middle finger were considered equal successes, I tried to give my catcallers something less expected. quote:I was nineteen, working between classes at NYU as a babysitter for a professor’s daughter, who attended a prep school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The kid was in the same grade as another girl with a mother who wore tweed skirt suits, had hair the color of a daffodil, and grew up in a family that valued proper elocution and manners above all else—principles she was intent on passing down to her own daughter.

I don't see how the latter would help you if you forget your anniversary. I'm fact I bet it would make the situation worse!

It's weird to explain but very similar, she'd "talk" entirely in Dora/Bubble Guppies quotes and her library of songs. She just started finding and using her own words maybe last summer and she still chooses to make up little songs about what she's doing half the time. Kids, especially on the spectrum, are really honestly capable of some weird and hilarious connections in a brain that hasn't been taught it shouldn't do that.

I am also autistic with low support needs. When I was preschool age I had trouble structuring my own sentences, so I often found it easier to use a contextually-appropriate Disney quote.

It seems "many people" show up in a lot of Trumps stories. Also their twin brother, "some people". As in, "who some people call Pocahontas ". Pretty sure they're the same people as John Harris and John Barron. Probably John Bigbootie, too.

Most egregious one I've ever seen. He could have been on fire and rushing to jump in a lake, with the Pope and Mr. Rogers begging everyone to stay seated and let him by, and a dozen people still would have obliviously jumped up the second the seatbelt sign went off and blithely ignored the sizzling and screaming behind them as they futzed with their overhead luggage.

Good thing he went down the entire aisle telling every single person on the flight (including the flight attendants) that they had to sit still and let him run off first because he’s the most important passenger.
