“Folks”
Why the fuck do they keep saying “folks”
I understand they don’t want to say “you guys” because that’s admitting they (or, in the case of their fat millennial woman handlers, their charges) have penises but they even use it when they could just as easily say “everybody” or “people”. E.g.:
“Hi folks, welcome to this workshop where we tell Mrs. Dogmeat how to be black correctly”
“Well you know Dogmeat, white folks are privileged and that’s why we’re not letting you, a speaker of two Indigenous languages, join our Indigenous cultural center”
It occurred to me that they might say it all the time to habituate themselves into saying it when they have to, lest an accidental “you guys” slip out. Fuck I hate this shit.
