Yumpin'

A display of dominance females of ANY species act out to prove their intellectual and spiritual superiority over their male counterparts.

(Spoken in a David Attenborough voice) "On occasion, the lioness will sneak up and pin the slumbering male on the ground where she will then begin humping him from behind, demonstrating that, although the male may be king, she is REALLY the one in charge. This display of dominance is called yumpin'!"

This reminds me of and old friend who is now pulled up to the skybar with my husband and partner having drinks on the other side....( I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere....An irishman, an indian and a newfie walked into a bar and God asked them...."Did you take the stairway or the elevator?")

Anyhow he and his identical twin brother were forever having fun with the ladies at a party or the bar playing off their remarkable similarities coupled with thick newfie accents. Perry not to be outdone by his brother Kerry would declare "It's easy to tell us apart 'cause I'm the stripper!" Whether or not he would explain he was a film stripper in the printing industry his a whole other matter!

I'll continue with thinking this is an absurd stretch. All words have some origin. We all know the N word is not appropriate. Never has been. Has always been derogatory. Was invented to be derogatory. That and all the derogatory words aimed specifically at a specific target.

Grandfathering may very well have been a term used to describe the effect of stupid laws made. But the word itself carries no baggage other than the term used to describe an effect.

We "strip" paint. Gonna declare that that word belongs only to exotic dancers and so would be cultural appropriation of them? I don't think so.

Using the term grandfathering is simply equivalent to saying stripping the paint.

I'm sure that it wasn't intentional. In the wireless industry, I keep seeing a term being used to refer to the honoring of past plans for existing customers, including at Public Mobile/Telus. I've been guilty of using that too until I realized the term's origins.  If anyone performs a quick search on the intenret, you'll likely soon realize why the term that I'm referring to should never be used.

This article https://medium.com/@nriley/words-matter-why-we-should-put-an-end-to-grandfathering-8b19efe08b6a suggest using the term "legacy" instead, for example: "We’ll legacy you in".  Yikes.  Using "legacy" as a verb feels like nails on a chalkboard to me.  Have you seen any better replacements for grandfather/grandfathering?

I find myself resorting to urbandictionary with increasing frequency, lol. It's basically the wikipedia of slang.

Most of what I find there is insulting, stupid, and juvenile. But it seems necessary when I'm trying to figure out what insulting, stupid, and juvenile meme parrots are actually saying to me. Some people choose language to be exacting and precise, some people choose language which carries meaning meant to be understood, most people online seem to choose language which emulates their favourite insta-twit fashion trends.

 @computergeek541 : well...I suppose it's a bit intentional. The full exclamation and accented writing would be yumpin' yiminy. But if writing other terms on other cultures is unacceptable then I guess it's also unacceptable to riff on white Europeans.To be clear...I had no inkling on it being an actual word.

Now I'm off to ddg grandfathered. 🙂

Edit: ok...per a Fox News?! article from Massachusetts:

provide a certain level of protection to all _plans_ that predate applicable _plan updates_.

A little long to say donchathink.

So how about the name of the state itself. Comes from an Algonquin speaking nation of the day.

We could do this forever. All languages evolve and previous meanings get watered down to hold newer updated bland everyday meanings. I dunno. In this case it was an affect of the term, not the term itself.

Heck...Canada. Look it up. Not offensive (that I can imagine) but borrowed.
