The fucking squirrel. That fucking squirrel…

It’s a pale imitation of Stage 9.

Well I did once explain the difference between sex and gender as she seemed confused and was unable to wrap her head around a colleague using they/them, but that led to a slightly vacant yet patronising expression on her face. Also, call me a coward but I’m not going to clap back at my own goddamn boss, I prefer my working days to not be more of a living hell than they already are. Regardless, she’s retired now.

I know it’s a really awkward phrasing, but “I had a boss, who was a woman…” sounded even more awkward to me than just “woman boss” 🤷‍♂️.

I had a woman boss who would always refer to women as female (like “you know the manager of that department is a female?!”). I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

So is Halloween (Samhain).

Is that Bread Climp, famous opossum wizard?

In your mouth though?

Thanks for the reply! It just seemed euphemistic to me as cages have a predominantly positive connotation with safety or protection. Roll cages, faraday cages, and shark cages protect those within. Most other cages are for the protection of those outside, which cars obviously aren’t.

The only negative connotation cages have is animal cruelty or false imprisonment, and even then you sympathise with those within the cage.

Now say car-nut, petrolhead, or even just driver, and I have clear enough picture painted.

Doesn’t quite fit, but I guess. Im curious why the OP chose to use a euphemism though.
