not at this point in my life but I did growing up!
I mean I never learned formal rules about pronunciation - I'm just trying to figure out what word santorum was trying to say by running it through my head. I will say that I probably tend to emphasize vowel sounds more than consonant sounds in general though.

i'm ok just assuming he said the slur no matter what because there is a 100% chance he uses it in private regularly, come on now.

yeah, not so much for me for reasons touched on in the batshit right-wing cartoon thread:
He rolls out another classic in his defence of the Sandra Fluke cartoon:it struck me as deliciously ironic that many of the tolerant, compassionate liberals who took issue with my supposedly portraying Miss Fluke as a “slut” and “prostitute”, and with my lack of civility, did so by calling me every vulgar name in the book and making death threats against me― And I have been called "The Appetite" (DL), Thursday, March 29, 2012 8:09 AM (Yesterday) this strain of 'you're no better than me' rhetoric is so flaccid and lazy and gross, the worst type of trolling imho― i think this is serious (elmo argonaut), Thursday, March 29, 2012 4:00 PM (Yesterday)

one is "allowing sexism when you don't like your opponent"; it's loathsome. the other is like some guy at a party sells you .5 g & it turns out to be talcum powder but then you get to sell it back to him at a profit + he dies so fuck that guy

I'll tell you what I was tempted to add to this thread earlier today. I give The Onion a lot of leeway in their satire due to their track record in being funny, but the ebonics used in this article would have definitely been unacceptable, say Jeff Foxworthy had tried it.
― pplains, Friday, 6 April 2012 02:52 (twelve years ago) link
it's not just the ebonics in that article that's suspect
― the late great, Friday, 6 April 2012 02:55 (twelve years ago) link
I mean, I've been making the haha weed's in ounces, coke's in grams joaks for years, but yeah, you're right too.
Tip of the iceberg starts with the ebonics.

You do it by not saying "hi, we're moving to Chicago in a couple of weeks. You're doing it too or you're fired."

I live about 3 blocks from The Wieners Circle and I look out for shennanigans when I walk by it at night but it's usually peaceful. Never been there though and don't plan on going. I no longer find intentionally harsh service very funny. ILXor Jordan went there and paid $6 for a hot dog, which they refused to give him him until he tipped $2. But it wasn't a joke where they were going to give him the food that he paid for after fucking with him for a minute.

just now discovering 'the wieners circle' is not a euphemism for soggy biscuit

I've been to the Wiener's Circle once when it was as depicted at the end of the TAL video (actually, with ILXor Jordan), and witnessed first hand the privileged white boys yelling racist shit at the women working behind the counter. It's gross and I won't go there again, even during the day when it's just another place to get a hot dog.
― carl agatha, Sunday, 8 April 2012 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
Yeh I didn't mean to suggest its reputation and the TAL thing were exaggerations.

I don't know if the show is racist, but the late-night dynamic at the Wiener's Circle is unquestionably racist.
