(1,009 posts)2 'g's so that they sound it as a hard g, as opposed to a soft g is in "gist".
It's quite logical. Pathological, even.

(2,167 posts)And this rule is only sometimes true, whereas c is always a /s/ if followed by e, I or y.
I don't expect this group of people to get it. The only thing they get is hate.

(4,788 posts)you know - the part about David having X number of wives and his son Solomon having 700 or so. As one of my friends posted on Facebook not too long ago: If you don't want to allow men to have multiple wives, then you've already redefined Biblical marriage.

I don't see what the issue is here.

Love it!

(80,708 posts)I think I had it confused in my head with "Jokerman". I guess I don't know Bob Dylan from my ass, either.

(1,061 posts)Stealer's Wheel did Stuck in the Middle with You. Basically, a one-hit wonder.
In your defense, the vocal on that tune is remarkably between Dylan, America, T-Rex, The Hollies, Neil Young, among others, and is the aesthetic to which Sheryl Crow aspired in All I Wanna Do ...
To my enjoyment, and the detriment of right-leaning activists, hand-held posters don't offer spell-check. Even more remarkable is the possibility/probability that several fellow marchers watched as the sign was made, who viewed the finished product before the march, and who approved its content.

(153 posts)I mean c'mon, man! According to all these posters I keep seeing, this God guy?
He hates black, brown, yellow, mooslims, libtards, leotards, union cards and warm regards, ouch!
He hates wimmuns, pigs, figs, rags, flags, bags, slags and scags...say's so in some book, they say.
Hate, hate, hate...man I just don't get it, and I really want to know...who IS this guy?, why can't he speak for himself? They say he real smart, some kind of super genius that's somehow everywhere, and boy is he pissed off....I guess. Wassamatta God? Dayum!

(28,749 posts)At Wed Mar 27, 2013, 03:54 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
ERMAHGERD
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022574957
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Inasmuch as "ermahgerd" is said to be the pronunciation of "oh my god" by a person with a speech impediment, why is it necessary to use it here? Even though it has gained some popularity in lolcats, it can still be seen as derogatory by someone who has such a speech impediment. "Cutesy" is not necessarily kind or considerate.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 27, 2013, 03:56 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: WTF?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Lighten up, francis, and take it in the humorous vein it was posted in, which we can all 'get'.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Ermahgerd! This is the dumbest alert evah!
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Or maybe it is just a fundie not wanting to say "OH MY GOD!!"
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: ermahgerd! What an OTT alert.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(58,179 posts)It's not mocking people with a speech impediment. It's mocking the speech patterns of people with braces and headgear, whom I don't believe are a protected class of citizens just yet.
South Park made fun in similar fashion:
Facts are stubborn things.

(58,179 posts)If someone with a speech impediment thinks the "Ermahgerd" thing mocks people with speech impediments, I can completely understand being upset and hitting alert.
The fact that it is not mocking such people is important.
The alerter has bad information. Post #29 should clear it up.

The humorous trope of retainer lisp has been portrayed through various characters in popular TV shows and films, such as Beth from the animated series Total Drama Island and Stans sister Shelly from the animated television series South Park
