I’m also from Baltimore and work with people with the accent. It still hurts my ears every time. |
There is a difference between not pronouncing the t at all versus emphasizing it. I also can’t stand the making it a swallowed or guttural sound, like compu’er rather than computer (by which I don’t mean compuTer). Ugh. |
No one is arguing the origins of face tattoos. They are saying they associate face tattoos with prison because those are the folks with face tattoos in the U.S. I have never encountered Māori with a face tattoos. You are being annoying PP. |
| Visible tattoos while wearing everyday work clothing. It's something I find really off-putting unless the tattoo is especially artistic and excellent, and those are few and fae between. |
Perhaps read before calling people annoying:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: I responded to this comment: "That's the origin of face tattoos. Jail." |
No, my kids aren’t a menace. You haven’t met them but go ahead and attack my kids because you spank yours (?). There is 50 years of research supporting bad outcomes for spanking. |
In the U.S., it is. |
You're so ignorant. No, it is not. They may have been coopted in the 80s by various gangs, but they most certainly did not originate in prison, even in the US. |
Nobody but prisoners have their face tattooed in the U.S. There are no Māori here. If you tattoo your face, you are removing the ability to be hired for many jobs. It isn’t socially acceptable. |
Well, I'm glad you finally gave up on one lie, but you had to take on another one, I see. No, it is not true that they are socially unacceptable. Maybe among boomers like you. Plenty of young people who have never seen the inside of a prison have face and neck tattoos. Get out of your bubble, Grandma. And no, I don't have a single tattoo anywhere on my body. |
| Women who use cutesy phrases or voices, act a little ditsy on purpose, almost to appear child like well into middle age. You're a grown woman! Speak and act like it. |
| If you use the "live" feature on your iPhone photos, I will forever and always think you're dim. |
| Visible tattoos, especially on women. There’s nothing that brings down beautiful wedding pictures than bridesmaids and brides with lots of visible tattoos showing while they’re wearing beautiful gowns |
I don’t select it or work to deselect it. Not sure when/why/if it comes on. |
Hence, being dim. |
