@PhillyJoeD @jongeeting Just like the word “bitch”…. Could be a dog, could be an insult, could be a compliment to some! “Sup, bitch!?” Very different than “what a f*cking bitch”

El Chingon Fishtown looks so great, and I hope they’ll do a new mural there. I think I speak for the entire neighborhood when I say nobody feels sentimental about this one. Just the last business’s half-hearted attempt to brand the corner!

@PhillyJoeD @jongeeting It is. And it that context, there is a particular definition/meaning. And in other contexts, a dif def/meaning. Pragmatics/semantics/sociolinguistics… and entire field that researchers and analyzes just this.
English
@PhillyJoeD @jongeeting Nope. Never said that. I said words have meaning based on context.
English
@FixMallory @jongeeting “It’s just words” say the marketeers
English
@PhillyJoeD @jongeeting This is such a narrow view of linguistics. This phrase has a million meanings, just like “jawn.” And the meaning depends on the context, like all words. This is more like “the shit” or “badass/awesome” in the context of food

@jongeeting They say it’s good food, but I was raised right, by literate Latin Americans, with Octavio Paz as a guide, and I’m still not supporting a restaurant called The Big Rapist. Menos mal calling a joint Motherfxcker’s. home.sandiego.edu/~apetersen/453…

This is egregious and inexcusable. The disrespect teachers and staff expressing is valid. A new payroll system is no excuse for delay. #phled @PHLschools

@harrisonfinberg I mean- it has to go into effect unless voted on again, right?
English
@harrisonfinberg Wasn’t part of the process a recent vote to REMOVE the TIF? I’m confused by it all, but pretty sure that’s what happened as part of the votes taken with this. I forget the legalities of why this happened, but it was something that needed done for the ME Sixers plan. Or am I wrong

This Swearing-In I wanted to do something a little different, so I invited some of my former teachers to be with me during the ceremony. I call them my educational village for all that they did for my development.
