So they are showing faces now, how long until they are including them in everything, showing them fully.
I feel like this is a bit desperate now. It was their last card to play, the children. They’re trying anything now for attention, what do they have left, showing private videos of them after all the criticism about the Wales children being on display.
One thing about them is they always surprise me.

@Words FFS leave little children out of it. What a horrible thing to say.
How embarrassing for you

How would you like it if someone was posting on a forum or FB or wherever that you were such an awful person that your children would need lifelong therapy? And if they grow up ugly, even worse
Just have a think about that.

I hope the assistant who had a hot cup of tea thrown at her by Meghan shouted, "Your urgency, Meghan, is not my urgency!"

Pretty sure it was on social media (twitter pre X), I’m remembering it being explained pretty clearly by Black American posters. Which is why it makes me almost shudder when I see it used. However people have rationialised using the term, I hope they think twice about it knowing the racial connotations.

do you read it on social media did you? 😆

If people are still comfortable using the term knowing the potential connotations that are out there, that’s a personal decision for them.

So now it's "potential connotations...out there" somewhere.
This is based on an answer to what ever question you asked chatGPT which, it's been shown, is hardly an authority since it gave me a completely different answer. Possibly because I didn't mention colour or race at all to try to get an unbiased answer. But there was no reason for it not to tell me these "potential connotations" if they are real.
I've never used the term "Sugars" (except on this thread, just this morning!) so I've no personal decision to make.
But you've proved nothing, imo.
On the other hand, no doubt people will continue trotting what you've said out as a certainty.

Yikes, people are aware of this and still continue to use the term 🤯

That's a quote from someone giving his opinion. Someone with an agenda.

Hardly. A lot of people have called out your “statement” already

jeffgoldblum · 18/06/2025 12:11

The term “just navy “ , is from the shorter version of “ just navy talk “ , which has connotations from the rather abrupt and abrasive language used by the Royal Navy , a very colonial institution according to some .

And Jeff Goldblum is a real person you’re impersonating. I wonder what he would think about the things posted about Meghan Markle, a fellow American, under his name.

RandyRedHumpback · 18/06/2025 12:15

I hope the KP staff who were all slumped over their desks in tears, as per Harry's account in Spare, were all told by Meghan, "Don't cry, my urgency is not your urgency."

No questioning of Christopher Bouzy - his opinions are A-OK with you then?

On the topic of the interview, I actually really liked the quote from Meghan ‘someone else’s urgency is not my urgency’

I can easily link the word navy with the colonisation of countries, I’m hoping that knowledge of potential connotations and the links of slavery and the building of US naval vessels may lead to an informed review of a user name. This could be done for most language

Oh dear ! Touched a nerve?
I don’t believe anyone on mn believes that I’m really Jeff goldblum after all these years on mn where it’s been established that I’m in fact a white woman with children!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Words · 18/06/2025 12:17

I stand by every word. They are the ones exposing those unfortunate children to the world

Not every child is photogenic. Very many are not. Many are plug ugly. I certainly was and I suffered from an everything must be perfect but you're my mini me attitude from my mother and I recognise the precursors of it in Markle.

Imagine the damage to the brand if they both turn out to look like Thomas Markle ( poor guy)

My2cents1975 · 18/06/2025 12:18

Ignoring the determined derailing and returning to the topic at hand.

The zeitgeist around merching children has changed substantially and more and more concerns are being raised about the impact this has on children once they reach adulthood.

The first cohort of social media kid influencers are now in their late twenties/touching thirty and are articulating how an unasked-for digital footprint affected their job searches, college admissions, and personal relationships.

Still would not like my name used in that way by anyone especially to spread negativity against another human being. I actually do wonder what he would think if he came across the posts or someone printed them out for him.

The Navy was a tool of colonialist suppression! How could anyone continue to utter the word knowing that??!!

NormaMajors1992coat · 18/06/2025 12:23

Good point. I read somewhere, I think it was on Twitter, that Jeff Goldblum thinks all Americans are completely fantastic and must never be criticised, including Trump, Diddy and that bloke with the horns who stormed the Capitol.

by the way … you are veering into threatening and personal attack territory now , which is against guidelines by the way .

Please do this. Please send him reams and reams of posts from everyone around SM who uses the handle "Jeff Goldblum". I'm sure he'll have a retraining order on you faster than you could utter his name 😂

From what I have seen of Jeff Goldblum - the other one - ( which is only on eg the Graham Norton show admittedly 😊) I don't think he would give a damn and indeed may think it's a hoot. But I don't know.
