It’s not clear what the customer said, it’s presumed she misgenders the employee as he calls her transphobic. He calls her Karen and then either grabs the phone or the person who’s filming.

1979….

A little glimpse into the future there. Who knew?

Perhaps I should identify as a very naughty boy and have done with it.

I should think the Oxbridge alumni that were Monty Python met a lot of Lorettas in their early days!

Palin was often seen going googly eyed at Jan Morris.

I haven’t quite thought this through yet but I want all my pronouns to be based on Karen.

Please help me with how it would work so I can get earrings sorted too

Sounds a bit like Superman's schoolfriend, but I have to confess I can't think of anything else.

My old Twitter pronouns (before I was permanently suspended) were:

Kish/ Mir in/ Tuchas

They worked well for me. Grin

@NicCageisnotNickCave @Emotionalsupportviper @ArcaneWireless

Thanks guys - am I allowed to say that??

It’s helping. Despite a background in linguistics I’m struggling to crack the code and got overwhelmed by the list of neopronouns upthread

StarbucksKaren · 09/05/2023 20:53

Oh and what I’m learning from suggestions so far is to let go of pattern recognition when devising my pronouns - myriad possibilities - such freedom

That is to your fault, my dear.

It is because they are meaningless, unimaginative sh!te,

Emotionalsupportviper · 09/05/2023 20:56

*NOT your fault - sorry

Usedtobeuser76538 · 09/05/2023 20:56

The tall former employee with the pink hair wears a name badge with a random non gender specific word as their name. Their badge states their pronouns as "they". They are not the only one whose badge says "they" in the branch although most of the other staff have more conventional names and appearances, so it would be easy to make a mistake in the staff's minds if you didn't look at their badges..

They take an age to serve anyone in the store, spending most of their time ignoring the customers. The window was smashed.

ArcaneWireless · 09/05/2023 20:56

That or someone fell asleep on their keyboard as they were typing mosh 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've just had a flashback to being about 10 years old and v enamoured of the talking horse in one of the Narnia books. Said horse's name was Bree-Hee-Hinny-Brinny-Hoohy-Ha. I'm sure I can adapt that as a pronoun, though I'm not sure how to conjugate it (conjugate is probably not the right term but YKWIM)

VaddaABeetch · 09/05/2023 21:10

Clearly a lot of attention to name and pronouns at this establishment then.

All the more reason for us to be outraged at the ‘literal violence’ perpetrated by the tall former employee with the pink hair when they misnamed the customer - before the actual violence of phone removal, customer removal, and window smashing

howdoesatoastermaketoast · 09/05/2023 18:18

actually I believe they is a they preferring person. Although evidence suggests that the offending customer did not refer to them using unapproved pronouns but instead called the person behind the counter a 'lady'

I must be getting old, I just can't keep up anymore! Lol.

@mauvish excellent inspo for your pronouns, you can totally work with that. Don’t worry about things like conjugating - that was holding me back too until @Emotionalsupportviper got me back on track
