Is bozo making a comeback?
Every 10-15 years it pops up
It should never go away. It's fun to say. It's fun to hear. It feels like it conveys the exact meaning you want when you way it.
100% agree, nothing hits like being called a bozo
Just wait till it gains a racist undertone.

Until it starts becoming a slur, all old lingo comes back after skipping a generation or so.
And names. How many years before we start having Betty, Wilma, Frances, and Edith again?
I think white people names are overrepresented in the names chosen by white people. Instead of naming your kids France, name them Equatorial Guinea or United Arab Emirates.
You mean Equatorial America and United American Emirates.
Yes.
Can you look at a newborn infant and seriously say "your name is now Edith"?
I think names need 3 generations or so before coming back
You know, maybe it is . . . I was watching a Caves of Qud let's play the other night and wondering why the guy kept calling every enemy a bozo.
