                  When you’re done with that, there’s a really neat all-you-can-eat Sushi place about five minutes away on Belt Line. Y’know, so you actually get something other than a trip to Whole Foods/Staples 😉

              Dotty is clearly a nickname for Dorothy, but while I know a few Dorothys, the only one I have heard being called Dotty is my grandmother. So while Dorothy sounds like a general name to me, Dotty sounds like a little old lady name.

                  I can’t speak to Daisy or Gretel, but the other two diminutives of Margaret make linguistic sense. The name Margaret is derived from the Greek word μαργαρίτης (margarites, for those of you who don’t read Greek), which means ‘Pearl.’ Rita comes from the final syllables of ‘margarita,’ the Latin equivalent of the Greek word (and also a very tasty drink). ‘Peggy’ derives from an Irish Gaelic word that also means ‘pearl.’

                  I only know this because I have a sister named Margaret, and she learned these factoids in order to justify being called Peggy.

                  A quick internet search (because I have no life) indicated that ‘Gretel’ derives from a Germanic word meaning ‘pearl.’ The internet’s claim to Daisy also being a diminutive of Margaret is that the French word for ‘daisy’ (the flower) is ‘marguerite,’ which is pronounced a lot like ‘Margaret.’

                  I had a good friend proudly inform me that he had named his newborn son after his and his wife’s grandfathers. The boy was Harold Richard …, the look of horror on his face when I reminded him of that the nicknames were was priceless . Personnally I would have named him Harold William.

                  I’m pretty sure John and Jonathan actually come from different (though similar-sounding) Hebrew names– Yohannon is John
                  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_(given_name))
                  and Yonatan or Yehonatan is Jonathan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_(name)).

                Honestly, the phonetic transformation from “Dorothy” to “Dotty” is so direct as nicknames go that I’m having trouble seeing how you can be having trouble with it. “Dotty” is just “Dorothy” spoken with a lack of precision, right? Think of the “Putting On the Ritz” scene from Young Frankenstein, but imagine that instead of trying to say “Putting On the Ritz” and coming out with “POO’EEN ON A REEEEES”, he’s trying to say “Dorothy”. It would sound pretty much like “DOOOOOTEEEEE”.

                How you get Polly from Mary has always been a mystery to me, though.

Those last two forums I posted on gat rather silly indeed, and that last one about the necks got even sillier. Now, nobody likes o good laugh more than I do, exept perhaps my brother, and some of his friends. And my dog. Come to think of it, most people like a good laugh more than I do, but that’s beside the point. Now lets have a good, clean, healthy, outdoor forum. Get some air into your lungs!

          My guess? That it’s a pointless story not worth having.

          She’s doing damage control, is my guess. She knows she’ll be watched. So she’s going with scandal right off. A really stupid scandal. “college girl has sex” is basically what it is. Which, honestly, is about as surprising and shocking as “college boy gets paddled to join frat”.

          There’s really little story here. So when it’s over and done with, nobody will care when she keeps doing it. Which keeps robin safe. Unless it’s a huge scandal, those things only hurt enough to decide elections if they happen right before an election. By election time far fewer people will care, especially as Robin has no doubt secured world peace.

            The difference between a representative’s sister’s sex scandal and a pledge getting paddled is the pledge getting paddled is illegal. And it actually is surprising and shocking these days, in large part because of that fact. As a fraternity alum, I resent the implications you have made about fraternities.

      I’m thinking Roz dislikes the fact that sex (specifically, sex between consenting adults) is seen as a moral or important issue. Knowing that the journalism student working on the story thinks the story is meaningless and stupid gives her hope for journalism and how people view sex in the future.

      She’s let down by the ableist language though, hence the ‘pretty close’, but it looks like she’s taking what she can get.

      She wanted to hear “No, I’m not excited to write about something so normal as sex just because it will titilate the repressed masses who are only interested because one of the people having sex is related to somebody important.”

      That, or she wanted to be propositioned.

      Agree. She’s unpleasant for the exact same reason Joyce is. They both have a preconceived idea about how people should think and think it’s their primary responsibility to fix any divergence. On the other hand, at least Joyce seems capable of dealing with people outside of that context. So far, every single thing Roz has done has been in service of her crusade.

        I have no idea how long it took me to figure out that “dumb” had another meaning I hadn’t known.

    It seems like most english words for unintelligent are ableist in some way, given that there didn’t used to be much of a conceptual distinction between “stupid” and “mentally handicapped”. Personally I’ll just stick with modern definitions, thanks, and consider any definition shift that’s over a century old to be grandfathered in. Which gives ‘dumb’ a free pass.

    • CP

      ‘Unintelligent’ is every bit as much ableist as the rest of them. Calling someone mentally handicapped is the same as calling someone handicapped, just more specific. The real question is, why would you prefer to use words that are technically inaccurate, when accurate words are available to you? Is it somehow more insulting to call someone dumb than stupid?

      I think the concept of ableist language is ridiculous, because it’s like getting offended at someone calling you a paraplegic when you’re blind. It’s got nothing to do with you if they don’t know how to describe it if your legs are fine but your eyes don’t work.

      • begbert2

        There’s nothing innaccurate about using the word “dumb” to mean “stupid”, since the word has held that meaning for over a hundred and fifty years. Calling the “stupid” usage “technically inaccurate” is like saying that using “fine” to mean “okay” and using “bill” to mean “legal paper” are inaccurate because “fine” means “punitive charge” and “bill” means “a duck’s mouth”. The simple fact is that lots of words have more than one meaning in English. We rely on context to tell them apart – and it’s rare for it to be unclear which you mean when you use “dumb”. (If it ever is confusing, it behooves you to use a different term in that instance.)

        And incidentally, I’ve done a little poking around on the interwebs and seen it claimed that while prior to that the word “dumb” was occasionally used in the ableist fashion of “silent = stupid” back in the 1700s, it’s modern meaning seems to have mainly been borrowed from the German word “dumm”, an thus the modern sense of “dumb” = “stupid” isn’t actually ableist at all! In which case any accusations of ableism are based on (basically) homophone/homograph trouble. Who knew, eh?

        begbert2

        Oh, and “unintelligent” is explicitly not ableist, since neither it nor its base term “intelligent” are a demarcation between handicapped and non-handicapped people.

        If we’re going to split hairs over it, you should know that the original meaning of ‘idiot’ is someone who keeps to himself and does not participate in politics, and it simply had the connotation of being stupid or uneducated based in the implication that any educated man would be interested in the workings of the polis, but over time the connotation overshadowed the actual definition.

        Dumb means “stupid” and “mute”, nowadays. Neither definition is erroneous.

        (And you can’t replace it with “idiot” – that’s a different part of speech. “Idiotic”, maybe, though I consider the two words to have different shades of meaning. You have to work a little harder to be idiotic; being dumb is easy and common.)

          Se the way her mouth gets all small? That’s annoyance. She isn’t ticked about Joe or astonished about anything. She’s annoyed about something specific to the situation she is currently looking at.

          Also, the eye tick suggests that it’s something she already knew was going to annoy her before it happened. I’m guessing she’s directly annoyed about the subtle dig at her use of the word ‘dumb’.

            I thought the mouth suggested stunned silence while the eyebrow was simply raised in curiosity. Kind of like in The Dark Knight when Joker crashed a party and an old mine said nobody was scared.

              Yeah, it looks more like confusion to me. Pursing one’s lips and tilting one’s eyebrows often indicates confusion/puzzlement.

          I agree. That is clearly a ‘…what!?’ eyetick.

          I would imagine her next expression would a be a narrowed eyed, ‘I see what you did there’ look, followed by a growl of annoyance or a sigh of giving up.

    Damn… I love that Roz prefers the truth to flattery. It honestly means that she prefers hearing the truth about herself instead of ‘flattery’ or ‘flaming’. If I wasn’t in love with the bow ties already, I’d fall in love with Roz for that alone.

    But again, the bow ties own my heart, because bow ties are cool.

      I think she had sex with Joe because she wanted to have sex. You don’t volunteer to wear a condom hat without having some pretty firm views on sexual liberation, which would seem to go hand in hand with being of the mind that your own genitals are there for you to use.

    If Dorothy’s close to telling Roz what she wants to hear, does this mean she gets free sex from her? Just in theory. Not shipping or anything.

      I think Roz’s door swings both ways. As long as it’s fun and consentual between adults doesn’t matter who gets her off.

      Not saying she’s a slut mind you; but there is a fine line between that and just being ‘free spirited’.

      On a second read, it seems that Dorothy is the jerk? She called her out just to tell her she doesn’t like having to write a story about her? First read I though she was trying to go somewhere with it, like “I don’t like it, you don’t like it but let’s both make the most of it” and showing frustration ‘d be justified if that’s the feeling she was trying to convey, but maybe she was just agitating her on purpose?

    I’m confused. Roz’s response seems to imply that she think the big deal everyone is making about her and Joe having sex is a not a big deal. And considering her she’s all about Female Sexual empowerment (the condom hat…), that opinion would make sense. After all, sex isn’t really a big deal to the people who it doesn’t directly affect.

    Buuuut… She went to the effort of putting the video online and getting a lot of attention for it, which implies she wants people to see it as a big deal.

    So… I’m not sure what she’s aiming for. I mean, it feels a little beneath her to do this just to screw with Robin. Especially if the Robin in this universe is anything like the Robin in the Shortpacked Universe. After all, that Robin made a major aspect of her campaign two gay boys making out all lickity-style.

      She could be posting the video online to make a big deal out of the ensuing discussion. As in “this video doesn’t affect you, why are you talking about it”.

We have two major problems in our party: We have a courage problem and we have a competition problem. Because we don't challenge the status quo or people who are in safer blue seats nearly enough, we [end up with certain] candidates who get really comfortable. [highlighted by me] And if there's anything that I've learned from activism and organizing, it's that comfortable people — especially politicians — do not change.

Me two weeks ago: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, not to protect anyone, but because entering prison as the world's most illustrious pedophile makes that a logical decision. Conspiracy theories make less sense than the stated story. Me now: The Pee Tape was shot on Epstein Island.

I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.

Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.
