ah but we use that wrong and most people just heard bugs bunny say it to elmer fudd, not realizing that it's the hunting equivalent of responding to a bad idea with "yeah ok einstein"
in TECKS-ASS we don't call it Al-gebra or Al-cohol... we call it number-math and kiss-my-dad water.
Arabic numerals? In my maths?
"Tsunami"
Racist chuds: 
But they actually unironically were like that back in the 80s when anti-Japanese racism was at its peak. They called them "tidal waves" despite having nothing to do with the tide.
I'm not learning algebra because that's the kind of math them ay-rabs do 
Returning to analog when I find out where algorithm comes from.
Angrily calling the secretary of the Navy, insisting they be called "Ocean Generals," not Admirals.
Starting to call it sweetsalt instead of sugar
Using roman numerals because our current ones are arabic. The number zero is overrated, anyway.
Wait, Italiano numbers? Don't we just have the good ole murican ones?
A haboob is approaching labubu airport
El Presidente, his excilency trump, i am begging you, please sign an executive order outlawing arabic numerals, protect me, in the texas panhandle
i will not investigate the roots of the word texas (spanish, from the language spoken by the people of the Caddo Conferderacy), or pan (latin)
spoiler
(handle is germanic, i think facists like germany, I can never keep up though)

This has been "journalism" for a while. Y'all remember all the rhetoric around when a bunch of maga folks started getting riled up over NPR tweeting the declaration of independence? It was like 3 people, yet every news outlet needed a story on it.
I do not admit, for example, that a great wrong has been done to the people of Texas by virtue of the fact that a better word, a more concise word, a funnier word, to put it that way, has come in and taken dust storm's place.
weather is turning woke!!
Southerns who can't consider there's more than 1 type of dust storms
Joe Biden said there are at least 3
fucking language tourists, stealing words is the whole point of speaking english
One time I was helping my parents by meeting with their well guy to pull and replace their well pump and he got into politics for some very dumb reason. He started ranting about how Houston is wasting our tax dollars (everyone involved in this conversation lives outside Houston) that could be spent on the national debt instead. I had to explain to him that Houston doesn't use federal tax dollars, they use money taxed from residents, and not only city but even state services are completely unrelated to federal taxes or the deficit. This man was in his late 40s at the time. Most Americans would need years of re-education to become even marginally functional citizens.
"What are we a bunch of Arabs?"
They're teaching kids arabic numerals in school!!!1
Please let this haboob sweep the blighted blood soaked land of Texas away 
We have the opportunity to call something a haboob and they're too racist to seize it?! Just imagine the golden age of Uranus-style puns we could be experiencing right now 
"We get massive haboobs every summer"
"The last haboob knocked my power out"
"Must be a slow news day they're milking this one haboob for everything its got"
them: ignorant buffoons 
me: recognizing an epic Cyperpunk 2077 reference 
That mission where you rescue Saul and get stuck in an abandoned house with him and Panam during a haboob 
Meanwhile in the Midwest I'm trying to convince the whites that derecho doesn't rhyme with jericho
When the walls fell at Jerr-etch-oh
ha 
Dumb people are proud to be dumb...and they also vote.
a bunch of supposedly educated superior liberals voted in favor of genocide so i think we have bigger problems than the ignoramus vote
I hate that it's come to this but if you continue to carry on as normal I will be forced to fuck off.
First it was ms-13, now it's goddamn isis trying to take over texas, please mr. trump save us!
