Run, Run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread person, doesn't quite have the same ring.

Cheeeeislifenow · 25/10/2018 18:07

Probably not..just like baa baa rainbow sheep..

LoudJazzHands · 25/10/2018 18:13

Ginger persons?

AamdC · 25/10/2018 18:14

Should it not be Ginget Gender neutral person?

bilbodog · 25/10/2018 18:17

FFS!

pickledparsnip · 25/10/2018 18:17

Fucking hell.

Depends if it has a penis or not. LOL.

I made anatomically correct gingerbread men today. I'm sticking it to the man, one gingernut at a time.

Justanotherlurker · 25/10/2018 18:22

The shop that all the rage is coming from renamed them in the late 90's I believe, so a few decades out being raged

FekkoThePenguin · 25/10/2018 18:24

As a person of red hair - I'm offended.

They are spooky-looking little feckers aren't they?

SpitefulMidLifeAnimal · 25/10/2018 18:27

Yes, the branch near me has been calling them "persons" for yonks. This is old news.

MrsStrowman · 25/10/2018 18:28

Why are they persons not people ?!

Sciurus83 · 25/10/2018 18:28

There's literally nothing wrong with this and it's been around for years...

FekkoThePenguin · 25/10/2018 18:33

But they are gingerbread men!

IncyWincyGrownUp · 25/10/2018 18:33

Of course they’re no more. It’s all bats in our local branch if Greggs.

Hedgehogblues · 25/10/2018 18:34

Oh no! Wherever will men and boys get their male representation from now?

ForalltheSaints · 25/10/2018 18:35

As long as they stay out of women's changing rooms and the Hampstead Ladies Pond, should be OK.

Avegemitesandwich · 25/10/2018 18:35

Shouldn't it be gingerbread people?

WTF is 'persons' about?

Creepyexgirlfriend · 25/10/2018 18:37

I don’t mind gingerbread people.

But then I say green person. Blush

DaisyDreaming · 25/10/2018 18:38

I’m more offended by their short torso and lack of smarties for buttons

SputnikBear · 25/10/2018 18:45

The world has gone mad. I have two biscuit cutters - one wearing trousers and one wearing a dress. Impossible to tell which biscuits are male or female though, unless you subscribe to outdated gender norms Grin

AllStevesPals · 25/10/2018 18:50

Persons Grin

JellyBears · 25/10/2018 19:47

Cisginger gingerfluid, transginger, transvesginger. Lol gingerpersons grr

Blanchedupetitpois · 25/10/2018 19:55

I think ‘gingerbread person’ is a cute name, sweeter than ‘gingerbread man’!

Should it not be Ginget Gender neutral person?

In what way is ‘person’ not already a gender neutral term? Confused

SpitefulMidLifeAnimal · 25/10/2018 22:17

Oh dear, someone's had a sense of humour bypass haven't they...
