Kinda makes a bit more sense when you consider that the school is in Sultan, Washington and it's address is on Turk Drive.

But also: Washington state.... redneck?

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 3 weeks ago

As an European, I can confirm that all Americans (south and north) are Yankee rednecks

As a Texan, I can't read goddamn thing between my wild diabetes eyes and rampant illiteracy

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 weeks ago

How can you afford wild diabetes in 2024? Even pasture raised costs an arm and a leg.

As someone from the east side of the state, it definitely fits. Friends joke that I live in West Idaho.

Outside of Seattle/Tacoma, very redneck. Get up to the mountains where they make all the meth and the cattle farms are pretty redneck too, but they have stripper coffee shacks nearby.

[-] Numenor@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Stripper coffee is where ladies strip? And there's hot beverages?

[-] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty much hit the nail on the head right there. That's exactly what they are.

Does it though? Like saying the Germantown school mascot should be the Krauts.

Other Options:

Viziers

Janissaries

Genies

Bombards

Footstools

Istan-Bulls

Harem Girls

Mhmm

Wait, what were we talking about again?

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 32 points 3 weeks ago

I was about to comment how cool the name Bombards would be, but then I read the Istan-Bulls and sorry but you should be legally obligated to go with that name when it's an option, it's that good.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 26 points 3 weeks ago

Better than their previous name: the Constanti-No-Bulls

[-] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

Why they changed it I can't say

People just liked it better that way

And their fans are bull-stans then?

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago

Janissaries

When you want to make it even worse...

People always expect Oregon and Washington to be super liberal but once you leave the city it's a bunch of hicks in the woods (respectfully)

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I don't even expect Portland to be super liberal. That city has a long history with the KKK.

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

They tried to make Oregon a whites only state a long while back. Not even wanting slaves, during 1857 when they applied for Statehood they both banned slavery and any free black people from existing in the state. It was more of a "We don't even want to see them" kind of hatred.

I believe it. Even here in California small mountain towns tend to lean heavily conservative

[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, if you're more than an hour from Seattle/ half an hour from Spokane you're probably in redneck territory

the fucking turks

If that's the face he makes while he's fucking then I think he's doing it wrong

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago

That's the face he makes when doing yo momma!

[-] ModernEraCaveman@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

nice, real’ classy

[-] turtlepower@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe he's the one getting fucked...

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

Cuz, for some reason, he folds it in half before inserting it

[-] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 41 points 3 weeks ago

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks!

[-] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

I don't think many actual Turkish people would be offended by this.

We had a boring enough mascot, but my highschool had separate black and white homecoming kings & queens... In 1998.

[-] scoobford@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty sure that was illegal at the time...

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

They're usually done as private parties with invites required and off campus. That way you can't sue the school.

That's fucking badass

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago

My small town's mascot was the Tigers. The next town to the north? Tigers. The town west of us? Their school shut down in 1997, but they were Tigers, too. The town south? Panthers. There is a town in the next county north that also is the Panthers.

Lots of big cats. No Cougars/Pumas/Mountain Lions, despite the fact that they're totally a native species. There was one town whose mascot was the Bobcats.

Imagine if Turkish people really existed. Wouldn’t that be wild?

Rival high school: the Greeks

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Are they young? Do they dress in suits and chase Cloud Strife?

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Were you allowed to rock the Casbah?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Mine was the eagles. Pretty boring!
