not saying you guys are doing this but i do think theres a funny tic w/people who consider themselves culturally clued in in that the deeply felt need to have been an early adopter of whatever trend is under discusion requires such copious backdating of personal usage records that they inevitably end up at the conclusion that things have always been that way, which is somewhat ironic as it represents less actual cultural insight than the current conventional wisdom

fail? come on people have been using fail in that way forever, in elementary school we used to yell fail at each other when we fell down in the school yard, and anyway the word fail i mean thats not new right come on pfft

fail i only know from the internet.

but i'm old.

but for real people have been calling each other douchebag forever. howard stern kept it alive for future generations almost singlehandedly.

i mean i can only go by personal experience. i've NEVER heard anyone call someone ginger in real life. i've been hearing douchbag since grade school. or just plain douche.

I only learned about "ginger" with the Spice Girls invasion

douche had a huge recent resurgence in popularity, it ime became more popular than it had ever been, it was also more douche focused rather than the previously dominant douchebag

i remember being 13 when "pwn" started and thinking that the final fantasy message board i posted on started it

but ginger still predates south park, you can't convince me otherwise

you cant seem to use the usual search modifiers on google trends so obvs it hard to tease out stuff thats abt ginger the food or the name or w/e but heres a search for ginger hair in the usa

that episode aired in 05 tho?

It originally aired on November 9, 2005. The episode caused controversy after its ironic premise was misunderstood by people who acted violently against redheads. [2]

...and that's that little blip in the third quarter.

its a long path to mainstream acceptance, and like i said thats a search for 'ginger hair' which is obvs a different formulation than just calling someone a ginger

future linguists will no doubt call the period between 05-10 the a ginger/red hair era

Charisma is cosplaying as Rasputin in an airport

Intelligence is knowing that it's possible to grow certain configurations of facial hair...

Knowing that knowing that a tomato is a fruit does not make you intelligent or not-intelligent is wisdom.

as a factoid connoisseur i consider did you know a tomato is actually fruit not a vegetable to be strictly bottom shelf, i mean did you know youre conflating two different systems and that maybe a tomato is a fruit and a vegetable

lag∞n I want to enroll in your masters in factoids

I was like

I'm sorry VG, what thread have you spent most of your time on today and you're still asking a "who does that with food" question?

But maybe GENIUS is PUTTING THE TOMATO IN THE FRUIT SALAD! HAHA! I do the most totally random things all the time once you get to know me.

is that wm. gibson with mohawk behind stephenson???

i'll def fuck w/ a tomato/pineapple/strawberry combo

my british friend in hs would laugh at people with red hair and call them "ginge," like "haha! can you believe that? he's a fuckin ginge!"

there are a lot of regional variations on the insult form of it, usually to do with suppressing a consonant or switching to a hard g

a rilly rilly sweet cherry tomato wouldn't be that out of place in a fruit salad.

p sure ive made salsa that had tomato and mango in it

...thus ends the first session of the Ginger Exploratory Committee ie ENOUGH WITH THE THE GINGER TALK MAYBE?

making fun of gingers, making fun of people who make fun of gingers, talking about gingers at all, the word "ginger" = all things I find very boring

ginger humor is about on the level of "lol canada!" in my book

need more fun things from FB
