Heh. Yeah…
I’m cool guess I’m Second
so what? fuck off!
Wrong.
That’s discrimination against blonds!
…nope.
are you kidding, my (a blond) would do that on purpose
Or Blondes (however you spell blond/blonde), it’s still dicrimination!
A male with yellow hair = blond
A female with yellow hair = blonde
Male with brown hair = brunet
Female with brown hair = brunette
Blonde/blond and brunette/brunet are, IIRC, the only words in English to have gender, although you almost never see “brunet” any more.
I think there’s at least one more word pair that’s still gendered in english. Kind of. I always thought it was less to do with gender than with role.
Fiance as the one doing the proposing and Fiancee as the one being proposed to (I can’t do the marked e).
But that’s interesting about the Blond/Blonde. I’ll have to bug my friends with that trivia now. And I’d never even heard of Brunet.
French Fail.
Fiance would be for the male, fiancee would be for the female.
Blond/Blonde and Fiance/Fiancee are French words. As a rule in their grammar, if an object is feminine it gets an extra e on the end to differentiate between the two genders.
jesus christ! who cares?
Just because you don’t, doesn’t mean nobody does.

Oh, fiance/e, yeah - for some reason I always consider that a French word that we use in English, instead of an English word in and of itself. Don’t know why I think of it like that; it’s no different than blond/e or brunet/te. My brain just likes to complicate things, I guess.
But as the commentor below mentioned, it’s not role but the sex of the persons involved - for instance, two men who plan to take advantage of California’s lifting the gay marriage ban are both each other’s fiances, and two women are each other’s fiancees.
Tsk. I wish this thing had an edit feature. By “French word used in English,” I mean something like “laissez-faire” or “tete-a-tete” or “menage a trois.” Not sure how to explain that adequately… somehow “fiancee” doesn’t seem as “English” as “blonde” does to me, sort of like “etagere” doesn’t seem as English as “croissant”… despite the fact that there’s really no difference. All of the words retain their French spelling, pronunciation, and meaning, but some of them just seem to stay more French than others.
And I meant to say the commentor *above*, not below.
Okay, time to go take my OCD medicine…
so?
So I answered the person’s question on how to spell blond/e.
Now, if you want a TRUE “so?” moment, see my musings on how some words seem to retain their “foreignness” more than others after being adopted into English - THAT’S a post to say “so?” to.
Fox | Vixen also and there are quite a lot more…
No, “fox” and “vixen” are two entirely different words - they don’t change spelling based whether you’re referring to a male or female.
I understand what you’re getting at, but having different words for the male or female of a given animal is not the same as the words themselves having different gender. It’s a completely different concept.
(Aside: Something that’s always amused me is that several of the slang words for “penis” in Spanish are actually feminine in gender.)
penis is french is feminine
“bite”
“e” fails.
From Merriam-Webster:
“spelled blond when used of a boy or man and often blonde when used of a girl or woman…”
often, not always, therefore “blond” is a legitimate spelling for females.
If you don’t like it, take it up with Julie Brown.
is it really? i mean, if this person could read the plate wouldn’t be upside down and if she can’t how did she get a licence? discrimination to laugh at this person? not so much.
Why do you say “she”? If you go by the spelling it is a “he”. That’s okay, we like our guys dumb, blond and driving a beamer.
yes but, you shouldnt go by the spelling because the owner of the plate is blond. so obviously they would have no idea if it was blonde/blond. but it was probably a woman.
when was the last time someone said a dumb blond guy joke?
def a chick fail.
Then again this site is discrimination against failures… Alas! I have been foiled again, um what do I do….
A joke would be good… Ok here it goes:
Q. What did the pirate get on his test?
A. Arrrr… A “high sea”!
XD
lol
oh, and the fail was also funny, with its various levels of FAIL
Erm, this isn’t a fail. It’s a gag. Like people do on TV, it’s a joke, there’s sarcasm in there.
Joke appreciation fail?
That’s exactly right. Irony.
Why do these Neanderthals not know what irony is?
omg, is that a Gorg?? WIN!!
srsly. why did nobody get it? im a brunette (yeah, im pretty sure thats the way its spelled) and i probably would have done the same thing just to get a joke out of something. lol i thought it was pretty funny.
YES!!
top notch fail
Ok more pirate jokes:
Q. What do you call a black pirate?
A. A pirate ye racist scurvy scum!
Q. What’s the difference between a pirate and a gangster?
A. Nothing! They both say YO HO!
Q. What has 8 arms, 8 legs and 8 eyes?
A. 8 pirates!
boring
funny xD
Captain: It’ll be a rough passage tonight lad.
Cabin boy: Why Cap’n?
Captain: Arr, there be sand in the vaseline.
uh…4 pirates?
Isnt this technically a Blond/e win? Obviously succeeding in being blond/e
agreed.
“jamesspratt” got it. The rest of you - joke FAIL
Thanks for the arrow in the image. I would have never figured that out.
Stereoptype win?
>.<
Photoshop!
this is a joke plate, theres no fail here.
it is win.
Agree with spawnfree and jamespratt - it’s a deliberate joke.
“Q. What has 8 arms, 8 legs and 8 eyes?
A. 8 pirates!:
you mean 4 pirates? math fail.
No, it’s a you don’t get jokes or pirates fail.
Hint for fail persons: eye patches, hooks and peg legs.
Joke understanding fail…
Pirates have peg legs/arms/eyepatches for a reason.
peg arms? a hook would count as a missing hand, not an arm. semantic fail.
http://pbfcomics.com/archive_b/PBF165-Yarteries.jpg
PBF disagrees.
A hand is part of an arm. Plus, Pirates won’t necessarily lose just the hand.
No, he means 8 pirates. They’ve each lost an arm, a leg, and an eye.
Criticism fail.
A “good” pirate has only one eye, one leg and one arm cause they’re his battle scars!
Joke understanding FAIL!
all i’m saying is that if I was making an army of pirates, I’d want guys with full use of their original limbs
Speak ye all kindly o’ pirates fer they be trollin’ these waters as we speak…And I warn ye, they not be kind. They take yer dignity with steely tounges and leave yer soul fer Jesus.All ye lubbers been warned. >0<
Intentional. !=fail
one can look at it as a win. What if they meant to put the license plate on wrong? you know cause its funny? *gasp*
obviously a joke done on purpose
Yah. XD still, as a joke it’s funny.
oh yeah, i still agree.
like some one should write dyslexic on the plate, but have it typed backwards.
My bet is that car car belongs to someone who went to Mount de Sales Academy in Catonsville, seeing as how it’s a Maryland tag.
At first I thought it was a backwards D, N078, and the fail was the person who prints license plates. Clearly I was having a thinking fail.
