Fisher-them and the policing of gendered language

Apparently Sam Smith would love to be a "fisherm...fisherthem", as stated on The One Show.

This policing of language is becoming utterly insane. Yet even live on TV no one seems to bat an eyelid. They seem more confused by the concept of Sam fishing than the term "fisherthem". Gender is the only are where narcissism isn't just accepted, it's actively celebrated.

What's next? A them-hole cover? Themager? Themdatory?

them-opause,
them-strating,
them-ingitis,

I'll go and look at the dick-tionary and may be back!

TwoLeftSocks, I've just checked and couldn't find a dick-tionary, but I certainly could find the fick-tionary.

Can't believe you all don't know what Jess is - clearly they's a Furry.....

Why is SS not a fisherenby? Or fisherneutrois?

ArabellaScott · 16/02/2023 21:55

Jeremy?

JanesLittleGirl · 16/02/2023 21:52

Fisher?

Oh for an edit button... I have misgendered Pat, and referred to HIS bright red van.
My most sincerest apologies to Pat and they's bright red van.

Literal genocide! 😰
1,000 lashes of the Rainbow Monkey’s ding dong for you in the public square.

ArabellaScott · 16/02/2023 19:19

Maybe, you can never be sure
There'll be knock
Ring
Letters through your door

This has taken on a rather dark tone, somehow.

is the newly orphaned Jess going to a dog or cat’s home? 😱

SinnerBoy · 16/02/2023 18:53

Oh no! You've literally murdered Postthem Pat!

If anyone else now has the Postthem Pat song stuck in their head courtesy of @CryptoFascistMadameCholet and her daughter, and would like to have the full version... here it is.

Post-them Pat, Post-them Pat
Post-them Pat and they's black and white cat

Early in the morning, just as day is dawning
They picks up all the post bags in they's van

Post-them Pat, Post-them Pat.
Post-them Pat and they's black and white cat

All the birds are singing
The day is just beginning
Pat thinks they's a very happy them

Everybody knows his bright red van
All they's friends will smile as they waves to greet them
Maybe, you can never be sure
There'll be knock
Ring
Letters through your door

Post-them Pat, Post-them Pat
Post-them Pat and they's black and white cat

All the birds are singing
The day is just beginning
Pat feels they's a really happy them

Everybody knows they's bright red van
All they's friends will smile as they waves to greet them
Maybe, you can never be sure
There'll be knock
Ring
Letters through your door
Letters through your door

(chorus repeats a bit.. Post-them Pat Post-them Pat etc.)

You don’t know how Jess identifies.

jess has been violently assigned cathood by Pat, I refuse to refer to Jess’ species until clarification from Jess.

How dreadful! I will make my DD donate this week’s chore money to a Social Justice Outreach Project for Species Fluid Animals to correct the literal violence caused by her egregious assumption!

my DD (11)) just asked what I was laughing at - I told her and now she’s singing ‘Postthem Pat and they’s black & white cat’ 😂

'Spiderthem, Spiderthem, friendly neighbourhood Spiderthem.'

'Dernerdernerdernerderner Batthem! - pow!'

'Is it a bird? Is it a plane? no it's Batthem!!'

What does 'fisherthem' even mean?

"I am a massive, attention seeking twat," according to the Urban Dictionary.

EpicChaos · 16/02/2023 16:36

Meant to add, the perfect example of angling that many of us will be aware of, is the Whitehouse/Mortimer programme.
( I hate fishing but i do love that programme. )

EpicChaos · 16/02/2023 16:32

Wasn't he the dude that cried his eyes out because stuck in a large house during lockdown?
How on earth does he think he'd be man enough to be a fisherman?
( Anglers - people who put their catch back, generally speaking. It's often seen as a sport., as opposed to those that bring their catch home for supper. )
Anyone can do either of those things, even kids.
Whereas a fisherman would be off out to sea in all weathers, at risk of not coming home again.
He's probably seen the vids of people doing sea shanties and thinks it's all glam, it's not, it's a damned hard and dangerous job, not for the likes of smith!

Rightsraptor · 16/02/2023 16:09

What does 'fisherthem' even mean? Well, I know it means nothing in the real world but in SS world ... I can't begin to fathom.

I can see why actual fishermen might have fun with the word, laughing about it in the pub after coming ashore safely, because theirs is a very dangerous job. Unlike Sam's job, where the chief danger seems to be getting laughed at.

Is SS a fisherman, do we know? I can't somehow see they in waders, thigh-deep in the cold waters of the River Dee.

Shut your them-dible before you are accused of bigotry?

Away with your bigotry, @NyanBinaryJohn - where is your respect for small people or people who identify as being size free? 😉
