Since I grew up on a farm with dairy cattle, it's an image I can't get out of my head when it's used.

I used to edit history textbooks in grad school. There is at least one Asian language where "promulgate" must be the most direct translation of some legal concept, and many of our authors were first language speakers of languages like Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. There was so much promulgation all over the place, and it really was just what the authors meant.

fart

I don't associate the word with negative things, I just really dislike it. To me, it's the F word. The other F word is okay.

They're so slimy sounding to me and the handful of times I've met kids/men with those names they've been brats/jerks.

For me the name would be Brad. I have no idea why.

Really? Alex? Also, how many kids can you possibly know who spell it “Zak”

I agree. They are overused by RWNJs vs actual liberals.

Karen, though I suspect I'm not alone here. I'm really annoyed at the way Karen went from being a term to criticize white middle-aged women who were really mean to service workers to criticizing all white (and maybe women of other races) middle-aged women for doing nothing objectionable.

Former teacher here. Manipulatives is a good word because it covers multiple items in 1 word.
