Edit: You should know this because adding a little factoid tidbit can brighten your day. It can also help you adjust to the new name of your favorite social media platform!

      Who do you think their mother is? Bowser is just trying to get the deadbeat mom to watch her kids, but the Mushroom Kingdom just spins a “kidnapped again” story. Like really how many times? She doesn’t get kidnapped. She has court ordered visitation for support.

    I stomped on this guy’s head three times with an Italian plumber the other day. 10/10 can confirm he’s a spaz, he chucks circus balls at you that bounce around

    @MilkToastGhost As long as we’re YSKing, just want to let you know that the word “spaz”/“spastic” has a complicated history. While its meaning has drifted heavily in the US, in the UK especially it remains closely associated with the disability cerebral palsy, and is considered highly offensive to many. The relative innocuousness of the US version has led to it being used in pop culture (e.g. songs by Beyonce and Lizzo, and also Mario Party 8 for Wii), which in turn has resulted in recalls and edits when they were released in the UK to some offense.

    I’m not the word police, you can say whatever you want, but it’s handy to know when you’re speaking to a global audience how your words might be interpreted.

      I’ve noted this, but I believe intent really carries the meaning in this situation. When you use other terms such for little people or mentally handicapped your using those terms to to either them, or someone who is not but is like them. In this case I used a word to describe a wacky zainy individual.

      At the same time to your point yall call each other cunts over morning tea. You can’t do that in America either but it doesn’t stop it from happening in the media and distributing it here. Definitly doesn’t stop people from saying it on the internet with or without intent to offend.

        Definitely agree, I’m not personally offended when, e.g. Americans use words that I wouldn’t use because they carry different meanings here. The only thing is that not everyone is a word nerd who follows the shifting meanings of words in different areas. While some people will find certain words offensive no matter what, I think the bulk of the offense is from people who don’t know either where you’re from or that the meaning and intent are different there, so I think it’s worthwhile for both sides to learn those differences.

      Yeah, when describing a total dumbass, it’s much more preferable to use the word “spez”.

        I’m not sure I’d use that phrase, even to proper idiots that I can’t stand.
