idgi, but presuming it's racist?
― how's life, Saturday, 5 April 2014 10:01 (ten years ago) link
imagine if "Monica" was a "mishearing" and the first syllable actually represented "my" then take it from there
― twistent consistent (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 5 April 2014 10:51 (ten years ago) link
Ehh, even then its not racist plus I had never made that association before so I can't even hate.
"Monica lets run some ball" might be though.

oh i get it now.
― how's life, Saturday, 5 April 2014 12:02 (ten years ago) link
open vowels + k/g is the same sound only one is voiced and one is not = they look the same when they're articulated (without audio) and if someone is saying Monica, you could lip read something entirely different, i'd imagine
no idea if it's racist or not, guess it depends on who's saying it?

Well, something about the quoted exchange suggests faux-naif whitester ostentatiously asking what it means - which from a lifetime of encounters with ''just askin'! ;)'' internet trolls suggests a person trying to get to ''so, it's not racist if they call each other that, eh?'' etc etc. Can't guess at the intentions of the person screen-grabbing and sharing, except to increase the internet's pixel density in general.

I was going to say someone should make a coffee table book of those, proving that every single two-week period of the last eighty years has been sussed out as the Golden Age by someone... but I'm at a loss as to when that one took place. It sounded like fucking Dandelion Wine until radio taping popped up in there.
Only had I phone ''The Phone Box down the road'' . . .

I'm confused by the vandalism bit, is it complaining that there is not enough vandalism these days? Or that the vandalism you get these days isn't as good as the vandalism when Britain was great? Also makes it sound like the school only had one desk.

I'm placing that golden age above as around 1984 as opposed to my 1978. You got 20 sweets in a 10p mixture in my day, as long as they were Black Jacks or Mojos. Also we didn't get "grounded", we got "kept in" or more often "beaten" so I think this is after the corporal punishment became frowned upon, if not illegal.

"grounded" wasn't a word, remember having a telephone installed as an event, possibly late 70s/early 80s, vandalism included Wigan Casino grafitti on the side of Martin's the newsagent, 10p sweets made up of a mix of half pees, one pees and extragavant three pee packets of chews
― twistent consistent (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 14:05 (ten years ago) link
lol this is what came to mind for me too, in my day vandalism was smashed up windows on derelict factories which are now swanky hotels and NF graffiti on walls.
