This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I wonder what Zelda came up with for that introduction

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (4 children)

"Xylophone Zelda". Really fucked over Xenias introduction

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Uh, xylophone doesn't start with Z, back to kindergarten until you learn your letters.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He can blame english phonetics. Also X being kind of a joker letter. "Why does eks make the sound zee?"

The teacher clearly said "letter" though, so phonetics shouldn't come into it. If they were named "Pete," "Psycho Pete" would be reasonable and probably accurate.

Also, xylophone is a noun anyway, so after they redo kindergarten, they'll need to go back to second grade (or maybe first?) and relearn basic grammar.

Finally, English phoenetics is an oxymoron, but I don't think kids get into that concept until later on in school, so I'll give you a pass for now. But everyone knows English pronunciation and spelling aren't related and you just end up memorizing everything anyway.

But X starts with Z, so q.e.d.

Gotta be xenophobic Xenia now, sorry, I don't make the rules

"Zyougottabekiddingme Zelda"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know what's worse, naming your kid after a fox that uses Linux or a suburb of Dayton.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago

Or zonked, if she smoked a fat dart beforehand

Would zooted even work in that case? Don't usually see it used for uppers

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh absolutely! At least in my area, “zooted” describes being predominantly on cocaine, but also amphetamines as well.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, same here. Also acceptable to be zooted on shrooms, even though those are wildly different things.

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah here zooted would be similar to baked/stoned.
