To think they are gingerbread men for a reason?

DS(15) has just pulled me up for baking gingerbread men and not referring to them as gingerbread people. He maintains that I'm showng a bias I usually pull other people up for. I suggested they're gingerbread men because it's more fun to dunk them in hot tea or bite their heads off. He has left the room in disgust while taking a couple to munch on

Who is being unreasonable??

You're a creative genius hiding

Oh god I Remember gingerbread pigs when I was young, we called them Parkin Pigs though, even though they weren't parkin.

StealthPolarBear · 18/10/2017 21:34

Havr you asked them how they identify? Or are you just fitting them into your cutter stereotype?

youarenotkiddingme · 18/10/2017 21:40

We should probably call them transgingers. If one of them committed a crime they would no doubt be demanding to be jailed with the fairy cakes and French fancies.

^ this just literally made me snort so loud with laughter!

I love your answer though OP.

As long as it's not a genderbread person. I imagine they might be a bit more complicated. www.genderbread.org

This thread is hilarious.
Do we also have to have ginger non-conforming people?

BossWitch · 18/10/2017 21:48

Aren't the ginger non-conformists just ginger biscuits?

MrMagnoliasBoot · 18/10/2017 21:50

You are all being unreasonable! In our house they are Ninjabread Men.

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 18/10/2017 21:50

No Boss you bigot. Stop trying to erase ginger non-conforming PEOPLE! You’re causing the ginger folx literal violence

So where do we stand on replacing ginger nuts with ginger ovaries?

whenwillthesleepcomeback · 18/10/2017 21:57

I'm a red head and I want to reclaim my rights to the word ginger. These are ginger flavoured persons. They don't even have hair!

WhatWouldGenghisDo · 18/10/2017 21:59

WisestIsShe · 18/10/2017 22:01

The word ginger looks weird now I've read it so much Grin

ilovesooty · 19/10/2017 01:28

I don't think it matters much what you call them really. Not something I've ever thought about. Not sure about the trans comment though

picklemepopcorn · 19/10/2017 06:42

17yr olds! Mine had a row with me over 'firefighter Sam'. Apparently I don't realise how much I 'go on about' this stuff... Confused
I must remember to have a conversation with him about gingerbreadpersons. Wink

Fekko · 19/10/2017 09:30

I don't actually like gingerbread persons. I much prefer Parkin.
