Child Item

Words that tell a lot about people

wretcheddomain

This thread is a derivation from Katie Hopkins thesis that she can judge the parents of a child based on the name they choose. Her favourite example is Tyler and so she assumes that parents of a Tyler must be lower down in the social class than say a Florence and so she wouldn't want her child to play with said Tyler.

I think we can safely say that Hopkins is a professional troll but does she have a point?

It's true to say that it's very probable that socially superior classes (I exempt so-called celebrities) will choose different names that the lower classes will never choose and vice versa.

I think the same is true of the words people use. For instance, when I hear the word 'mortifying' I always think of some menopausal or emotionally charged woman who's exaggerating whatever she's talking about. I wouldn't really want to be around someone who uses that word a lot to be honest.

Can you really tell?
Usually I think you can.
Never the less I try to avoid jumping to conclusions.
The sorts of people who use rude words are clearly a bit boorish but what can you do...

I think, as with many things, there are exceptions to the rule but I think the rule stands.

Perhaps.
Errors in judgment abound.
Not that I care, mind you.
I think words have a power of their own.
Soon others will post and we'll know more.

I agree.
I also write poems in my posts.
Not that I care, mind you.
But it's a good way to explain.
I think you'll agree.

Naming your child Adolf.

Something dodgy about that.

Yeah you could make a reasonable guess on the comparative class backgrounds of Sorcha and Fintan vs Nicole and Joe, how you choose to interpret that information is another matter.

As for words people overuse or that'd be red flags, I dunno. I dislike the overuse of "literally" and "basically" but those babies know no class barriers.

Swearing doesn't put me off if it's not done aggressively, but I've a mouth on me like a sailor so that's a lot to do with it.

"Sheeple"

People who use this are bleating retards with no self-awareness who once read a pamphlet or blog that told them that they were so deep and special they were excused of all responsibility.

She's as mad as box of animal crackers that one.

Even Peaches Geldof had no bother showing her to be the illogical dizzy bint she undoubtedly is.

Anyone who says 'for all intensive purposes' is a dumb idiot worthy of excoriating critique...

And for the idiots amongst us, it's "for all intents and purposes"...

I have a friend who says 'drinkies'.

She's a great friend, but that's almost a dealbreaker for me.
