Whitespeak is the dialect used typically in corporate offices where they seek assiduously to reduce creation of new ideas by impeding via cliche the language used to express them while simultaneously they say we need to think outside the box.
There is no fucking box, alright?
There are many blockheads but Amazon has the boxes and, unlike the blockheads, they know how to use them appropriately.
Note: if you say fuck in a corporate meeting, you will be immediately excommunicated, tortured, and your dead body left in the desert for the scorpions.
We don't hate whitespeak since we much prefer to be haughtily-contemptuous of it.
I need to get my head around something.
WTF?
When someone talks of 'getting my head around' something, it sounds like a big fucking brain-eating amoeba as it envelopes my skull to suck out my precious bodily fluids.
In hearing someone say I'm 'getting my head around' something, we know immediately that person's head will never stretch that far.
That was a doozy.
The doozy was from a sitcom called "Hazel" and it was kind of cute ... until it took over like fucking Spanish moss and it was everywhere, hanging from the trees, doozying the hell out of everything.
You bet your bippy.
You can't hide from it since this one was a wild rage until finally someone found a way to kill it and that must have continued for a couple of years. There may even be some Boomers gasping it out to this day ... at least until someone strangles them.
Note: "Laugh-In" may have been responsible. Unclear.
These things are not cool. They are fucking ludicrous.
Conversely, there's blackspeak which works much better.
Right on!
Zen Yogi: what does that mean?
No-one knows, Yogi, but it sounds cool. That could be embellished with a black power fist for solidarity and that was highly cool but it could also go more extreme with the Panthers and they were pissed.
Note: I'm not criticizing the Black Panthers. When your back is pushed to the wall, your options are limited.
Right On was everywhere and even old white grannies were saying it. You will still hear it popping up sometimes.
Zen Yogi: they were saying racism isn't a problem in America anymore
When you hear them say that, ask them the last time they heard black people making surf music.
Zen Yogi: why is blackspeak cooler than whitespeak?
Unknown, Yogi. I study quite a bit of genetics, sociology, anthropology, etc but I'm damned if I have any idea of the process by which people living within the same culture will come up with divergent language to create an almost unique subculture and there are multiple in America but the black subculture is usually first to be recognized. The process must be different when this one turns out cooler that that one so why is that.
That we have a need for cultural uniqueness (i.e. the thing I like to call a tribe) is a remarkable thing since why should we. That part of is protection is clear but does that really need such a sophisticated social apparatus around it. We will create that type of apparatus, whomever we are and wherever we are, so apparently we do need it.
The slang or dialect or argot gives the measure of it since this is my tribe; these people know my language. We only use slang with those we know the best ... and then there are those in the other tribes.
Note: don't read anything racial into this since all us came from tribes. That part of the process of making Modern Man was common to everyone.
Zen Yogi: that still doesn't explain why blackspeak is cooler than whitespeak
That one will probably remain one of the Mysteries, Yogi.
Zen Yogi: this all blew out of someone saying "I need to get my head around something?"
Yep. Possibly that was an overreaction.
Some percentage of Millennials are trying to demolish tribal barriers such as skin color and that's the great curiosity as to whether that's really possible. As tribes, we kidnapped from other tribes commonly so we don't need to be in the identical genome to be part of the same tribe. Maybe the Millennials can actually do it.
In the time for many of us, people typically integrated as family units and maybe a black family may move into a white neighborhood to start the process. However, it seems Millennials are going after it on a much more individual basis so it appears to be a fundamentally different approach.
Charlestown is what we do at our worst but those Millennials just might be doing that which will set all of us up to do our best.
