Is anyone here pissed off by the word ''folks''? Seriously, why would anyone use that word instead of ''people''? I noticed that it's almost always redditors and leftists using it. Also ''yikes''.

Uhm yikes sweetie

Suck my germanic cock faggot. Folk music =! people music. It sounds old-timey to us anyways you dumb nigger

Used by people who never used it before they tried ingratiating themselves with people who use it regularly. Like yall. So forced.

''Sweetie'' too. If someone used that vocabulary on me irl i wouldn't be able to control myself not to punch that person. It's like they have been preparing themselves their whole lives to be repulsive.

umm... like wow omg

yikes!

you must be fun at parties

who hurt you sweetie?

Coasties copied blacks because they think everything blacks do is cool and blacks got it from the deep south dialect. Same with y’all. Youre welcome for letting our black population spread to every corner of the country

pfft get a load of this loser not using glorious native germanic words. Sad!

folk is german tard

Uhm yikes a lot to unpack here, dont be so fragile sweetie

Some polls showed that people react better when politicians used the word because it sounds more down-to-Earth, that's where the trend started.

Whites of Germanic descent don't use that word.

honey... the gender inclusive spelling is "folx..." pls edit your post its hella transphobic!

It literally derives from the word Volk like in Volkswagen, which literally means volk(people) wagen(car) the people's car.

fake

I know that. Nobody uses it except black people and people trying to ingratiate themselves to black people.

no it was a pandering to the at the time large german minority in America

I live in the midwest and boomers say it all of the time.

who cares faggot?

It would be fine if leftists and feminists didn't coopt this word.

The only black person I've every say folks is Malik Obama, other than him it's only used by shitlib aspirational careerist whites.

are you lost or something

why does that make it not fine? cause you dont like them?

"folks" is the rootless cosmopolitan's suggestion as a replacement for "guys" to be more inclusive.
Really it's just a sign that you're dealing with someone who has so little going on in their lives that they feel the need to police other people's language.

Because it puts into mind an image of a superficial, privileged American woman trying to imitate African American culture, trying desperately fit in with her intersectional feminist friends, by forcing a word that she would never have said otherwise.

your threads that way. oh wait no its not because you cant even speak german you larping mutt

are they policing other people's language? sounds like they're just using their own...
and you take issue with that why? do you also get mad when people type "lol" to each other on the internet?

I live 15 minutes from a town filled with homesteading oldfags that still speak German to each other. I'm on the very edge of the Frontier that didn't get settled until the late 1890s.

I take issue with privileged white people appropriating AAVE.

also no i'm not fluent

Ahh yes, the 1890s... I remember it as if were just yesterday.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

oldfags that were born in the 30s and 40s do

how the dane has fallen

i do know enough to get around though without speaking english

Do you not see a red flag with someone suddenly trying to act as if they're part of a separate culture they've had little to no interaction with?

yankees dont have separate cultures

If you go on /g/ they constantly moan about how they inject themselves into projects and make everyone stop what they're doing to change some words in some document somewhere.

African American culture is a subset of American culture no matter how hard polfags try to argue otherwise. African religions and languages were functionally extinct as soon as they were transported here and everything Africans now call “theirs” is a mutated form of various European cultures...kinda like literally every other group here including White Americans

Shoot oop, yoo fookoong coont

"fowk" is an important suffix in ulster scots dialect
men is "menfowk" and women is "weeminfolk"

It doesn't exist for white Americans to culturally appropriate and bastardize just for some social status among other yts.

They also do shit like this
