I know, right? Jack Thompson called, he wants his shtick back.

Proof:

His only regret was that he had Boneitis.

Modem starts dialing up. Everything is going fine, attempting 28.8k negotiation… failed. Okay, now I’m listening to 19.2k negotiation… failed again? Ugh, ok, 14.4k… no? Jesus fuck. Please let me at least have 9600…

Edit: typoes

Yes? I just like puzzles, and anagrams of about 9-15 letters are fun to play with. I didn’t just look at the original phrase and immediately know the anagram, but I am least proud to say I found it by “hand”, without computer assistance (beyond, technically, using a notes app as a workspace).

Edit: My phone let me misspell some Ps as Os, and I was missing an aopstrpohe.

Heh, we happen to have gotten caught up in two different posts’ comments back to back (from my perspective).

I saw the reply in my inbox and had a reaction to “females” there, like “ugh, not one of THESE folks who still talk like that.” Because I didn’t remember the nature of this thread until I got back into the comments :)

ISIS also breathes oxygen.

“Thrall of money” can be rearranged to spell “holy lemon fart”.

Every now and then I see a phrase and wonder about anagrams. Really paid off this time.

Don’t know if you know this, but a person’s arms can also be seen from behind them.

Ironically, this could have all been prevented if there had not actually been any fucking rape.

Bonus points if you instead say she is being hysterical.

It’s the Gulf of MEXICO goddamnit

As bitjunkie said, if you were referring to 90s in the possessive, it would be 90s’ since it’s a plural noun already - much like parents’ mortgages or stores’ buildings.

That said, I would probably look at the phrase “90s child” as either (1) a compound noun not needing anything to be possessive (like “ice cream”), or (2) with “90s” as an adjective modifying “child” (like “latchkey kid”).

That’s some weak-ass homeopathic heroin, only 5X / 2C (I have no idea if 2.5C would sound nonsensical to a homeopath). Gotta dilute that a lot more times, that’s how you make it more potent. Effing 19th century pseudoscience.

'90s is a contraction of 1990s, or whatever other century’s tenth decade is implied. So the apostrophe belongs as an example of a contraction or possessive :)

There are high-protein foods that aren’t meat. Chickpeas and other legumes, for one.

Partly its about reminding his supporters and the neutrals that the people who actively dislike him really do exist. One of their talking points around election fraud/denialism is the idea that there just aren’t enough voters against Trump to justify the votes, because that’s what they’re told.

Granted, they’re also told that people like these booers are all paid actors. Paid by whom, and how do they keep anyone from blabbing about these arrangements?

Anyway, every person who gets splintered off from the Trump Train is a win, so push every way you can.

Basically apostrophes are never used to separate a word from a normal suffix in this kind of novel or unusual construction. Pretty much just use apostrophes for contractions and (most) possessives. Example: 90s, not 90’s.

Edit: In English, for English words. Some languages, either those normally rendered in Latin script* or transliterated into it**, make use of apostrophes either to modify an adjacent phoneme or to indicate particular sounds or a glottal stop.

* English-like letters and punctuation

** Like Japanese written as if it were English, for example “Ohayo gozaimasu” which is written in hiragana as おはようございま.

Edit2: Others point out (correctly) that referencing the 1990s as a decade would be properly written as '90s, which is still a use of an apostrophe for a contraction.

Modify as you will.
