[Delroy Booth]

Need to get some practical use out of my degree...

Paul Calf: Are you a student?
Roland: No I work in the Virgin megastore actually, I finished my degree years ago.
Paul Calf: Oh aye, what in?
Roland: Social anthropology
Paul Calf: That's handy.

Andy, I'm with you in Bethnal Green where you love ambitious angry women with heart brain pen fingers tongue and you have a line from Nietzche tattooed over your cunt-

After some deliberation, I reckon that's my fave.

What's with the creeping Tex from Alan Partridge americansims? "Dollars", "scotch" and more! I think "gnarly" got wheeled out recently.

I've noticed British identity politics types using 'y'all' a lot, I have a decent amount of people on my FB from the Southern US and they don't use it when writing status updates so I don't see why right-on Brits feel the need to.

Sinto saudade do mundo do jornalismo sem Laurie Penny.

Foda-se, filhos de putas.

That's all I remember.

I've been (very) guilty of Americanisms. My early posts here are littered with them. I still use y'all, kinda, gotta, and doubtless many many more.

I have finally stopped referring to gas stations and trash cans. But only just.

 

[chilango]

He was actually good though. Top phrase-mongering. Shouldn't hold the later pale imitators against him.

I only own two books of poetry.

Ginsberg's collected works and a small volume of RS Thomas.

RS Thomas I do really like, have his collected poems and that later one No Truce With the Furies.

I very much understand the function of y'all, English really needs a plural second person pronoun but it's just such an annoying affectation when used in writing or when used in speech by people who aren't black Americans or from the Southern US.

Y'all is common where I live, although said in a yorkshire accent you wouldn't think it was an americanism. It's not tbh I'm pretty sure some variation of Y'all was being said in this country for much longer than America has existed.

Zizek, I think, described the penis' support for the Mullahs as a "right move in the wrong direction", which sums him up in damning fashion, I think.

Do you have a link for that, not that I don't believe you!

 

[SpineyNorman]

What the fuck's wrong with 'you lot'?

 

[cesare]

What part of "some of us take oppression seriously, and will not actively contribute to leading people, particularly women, into a position of retreat" aren't "you lot" getting yet?

 

[JimW]

What the fuck's wrong with 'you lot'?

A question I often ask myself reading these forums.

Direct action

No pasaran

Spontaneous solidarity

Class struggle

Nope, it's yi,all or ye,all, around here.

[Nigel Irritable]

There are three different plural second person pronouns in Hiberno-English. "Yous" \ "Youse" is widely used in Dublin and also in the North. "Ye" is more rural. "Yis" is also used.

When you gaze too long ınto the abyss, the abyss also gazes ınto you.

But all that is, was, and will ever be in the abyss when you gaze into it, is you.

True. Blaming Ginsburg for the likes of Penny Dreadful is like blaming Led Zeppelin for existence of Whitesnake.
