@mazeldon Just learned that the word bubkis is scatological. Are all Yinglish words dirty?

@heidiaalbrecht @azforeman @linguistics doet me denken aan een animatiefilm die Peter-Alexander Kerkhof insprak over Rotterdam, maar dan in het Oudnederlands. Fascinerend!

I never did an and I keep hitting the character limit on my profile blurb, so:

I'm Michele Ann Jenkins aka Maj.
I was federated before it was cool and have just been biding my time on FB and Reddit until a critical mass happened somewhere better and now here we are!

I am equally interested in anachronisms, futurism, and current events. In all timelines, looking to listen & learn from a diversity of voice and lived experiences.

Ever evolving tag cloud because I keep being reminded of other interests:

@LikeAMilkdud & are ever-evolving, & are shape-shifting more dramatically & faster than ever before. I'm all for giving words whatever power suits you, me or anyone, at will. So adding your own unique interpretations of traditional words to suit your contemporary ideas, seems absolutely reasonable
