Shirt that needs to be made to piss off nerd boys if it hasn’t been done already:
“Yoko Ono is my favorite Beatle”
Why do you wanna do something JUST to piss people off? Also, it wouldn’t JUST upset the”nerd guy” group but also the classic music enthusiasts, mid-aged people, and anyone who knows/likes the Beatles, so what’s your deal?
everyone who thinks im cute because theyve seen my selfies online have got a nother thing coming tbh lol……………. cameras cannot pick up how beautiful i am in real life
Anonymous asked: Since you are black and proud, I will test you with this question: How does a woman carry a child in her stomach for 9 months, go through all the pain, hold it in her arms, and end up calling it Laquisha?
Laquisha is a French variant of the Swahili name “Lakiesha" which means “favorite”. In addition, the name is also a French variant from the original Latin ”Leticia” which means gay, delighted, or joyful and is the name of an old Roman Goddess, Laetitia. I’m not only black and proud, I’m also a former linguistics student, avid reader of mythology, and Tumblr. Your tests mean nothing to me. So to answer your question, how does she end up naming her daughter after a Goddess? Pretty pridefully I’d hope, our women are Goddesses.
So many names that people consider “ghetto” are very meaningful in other cultures, so when people reduce these names to “ghetto” they display their own ignorance.

people need to really examine why certain names are coded as “professional” and others are “ridiculous.” The number of times I’ve actually, honestly heard people ask questions similar to this is not right. Like no matter what you convince yourself, there’s no inherent linguistic reason that this sounds “funny.” It’s entirely because of a thousand jokes and offhand references we’ve all been exposed to convincing us that, for example, any name that starts with a “La” syllable is automatically the beginning of a joke.
Not some sort of bizarre coincidence that names popular in black communities end up the butt of (white) cultural jokes…
