I was sitting on my hands not to be an etymology bore.

However, it was never going to last:

https://www.etymonline.com/word/person

c. 1200, persoun, "an individual, a human being," from Old French persone "human being, anyone, person" (12c., Modern French personne) and directly from Latin persona "human being, person, personage; a part in a drama, assumed character," originally "a mask, a false face," such as those of wood or clay, covering the whole head, worn by the actors in later Roman theater. OED offers the general 19c. explanation of persona as "related to" Latin personare "to sound through" (i.e. the mask as something spoken through and perhaps amplifying the voice), "but the long o makes a difficulty ...." Klein and Barnhart say it is possibly borrowed from Etruscan phersu "mask." De Vaan has no entry for it.

"assumed character", eh?

How very apposite.

HUGE pennydrop at Maggie PersonPerson here too.

Hahaha. VG. Grin

Thank you! I've always had my reservations about the gendering of person, good to see it being acknowledged. I used to use Personpeeps, I'll go with Peepspeeps from now on, like a sad clown.

Maggie Peepspeepspeepspeeps it is then. That'll look good on the voting form come the next Holyrood elections.

I like Maggie Folxfolken.

It has a ring to it.

I am sorry that I repeated Sparkles when he mispersoned Maggie PersonPerson.

He was at fault, but I colluded in it.

Latest news is that Sparkles is standing to become an MP, but now in Aberdeen South. Currently held by the SNP with a decent majority with Tories second. Why are you abandoning Gordon and Buchan Sparkles?

Also I have to report some of us are bad people. Sparkles says on Twitter:

The Gender Critical did a fantastic job of smearing me. They trolled through the Internet to find old photos, my dead name, tweets I posted on an old account, faked tweets, hacked my Twitter account, and called me all the foul names in existence.

Who did this? Own up. Who smeared Sparkles? Who repeated stuff he said on the internet to make him look bad. I certainly would never do this.

I also can't believe that a gender crit would go so far to hack his account to make him say and post bad things. The feminist hacker unit is amazing, but I must admit the tactic they keep doing of how they always take over the accounts of horrible guys just to make them say more horrible things seems flawed in some way.

Why don't they get the accounts to say JKR was right instead, or women are great rather than post death threats or p--n etc. Something a little off there.

The FWR black ops team that fitted Soph up with the gag and nurple clamps pictures are regarded as war heroes. They are sadly pensioned off with the PTSDs but they will never be forgotten

AlisonDonut · 31/05/2024 20:53

Did anyone see that someone from the right wing who believes men aren't women already registered The Rainbow Party?

ArabellaScott · 31/05/2024 22:46

It took advanced AI skills to fake the video of SM singing 'don't forget to tread on a terf'.

It took some doing to think of a pink ball gag AND mismatched pegs from the peg basket. That is really outside the standard black and shiny metal products that I am sure would be more the expected fare. Those choices must have given us away. Is that what Sparky is saying. That the pic wasn’t credible?

Plastic pegs at that.

Boiledbeetle · 01/06/2024 08:35

I would have thought in the absence of actual nipple clamps using wooden dolly pegs would have been much more appropriate.

lcakethereforeIam · 01/06/2024 08:55

Ooh, splinters!

I did point out earlier that you can get vegan, biodegradable clothes pegs from reputable suppliers and even Amazon.

I don't think dolly pegs have quite the required... what's the technical term for squeeze strength?

Mind you, I would have thought that splinters would be a bonus, no?

lcakethereforeIam · 01/06/2024 09:28

More of a 'ooh, splinters 😃 ' then?

But they're very versatile, they could make pretty little dolls with them to play with once they've finished playing with themselves!

Wings notes:

Wings Over Scotland

I wonder if SophieMolly_RP has refunded the donors to his previous fundraiser (at least £190) to get elected as a Green before starting a new one to get elected as an independent, or if he's just trousered their cash? Wouldn't that be fraud?
