strike this one off your little list there, mister webster

here’s a word i think we could all do without: foreign, -er

you see, FOREIGN places are where FOREIGNERS come from. and that’s just gross. FOREIGN soil is crawling with bugs, and FOREIGNERS are covered head to foot with FOREIGN bodies! EW!! just think of it! they talk different than us, they act different from us… why, they even WALK different from us! well, i say this menace needs to be stopped. that’s right, we need to all band together and put an end to this insidious horror. first point of attack: the dictionary.

terms like this only lead to xenophobia, and regardless of what a great arcade standup that was, xenophobia itself only leads to RAMPANT xenophobia. and there is simply not a god damned thing good about that.

if anybody can give me one good reason why the terms FOREIGN and FOREIGNER should be kept around, i’ll shut up. otherwise, i say we boycott the fucker and get a petition together!

also, i think i’m getting Xenobiaphobia :P

By jae

jae lethe (he/she/they) is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) She has plans. BIG plans.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.
