I'm not sure if this counts, but can anybody explain "brunch" to me? Not brunch as in, a mid morning meal. Brunch as in, apparently some spiritual thing gay people invented and white liberals colonized or some shit.
I thought it was invented by country club WASPs in the 80's. Something where they could drink bloody marys and mimosas to try and get over the booze and cocaine parties from the night before.
 
It really doesn't make sense. That doesn't stop academicals and other assorted professionals down here from using it.
Hell, last I heard, there were talks to redact the new Chilean Constitution in "neutral language", should the new Constitutional Assembly in Chile be approved. Can you imagine the backbone of a country's general principles full of X's where gender endings are supposed to be?
The worst thing is, since this has the backing of academia and some corps here and there, it is increasing in awareness and acceptance.
I honestly hope it doesn't come to that since most Latin people think it's stupid. Also, seriously, the irony that most who advocate it are westerners.
