It’s not uncommon to use they or them when referring to one person, generically. “If my child is sick, I get them medicine,” for example. But the rise of the they/them in contemporary society isn’t the same. Now it just shows that if any rule can be broken, why do we have rules at all? During a recent TV interview a woman explained that her pronouns were the singular they/them. So I’ve come up with a few other ludicrous oxymorons to show how silly this fringe part of our culture has become.
The red blue pen.
A truck trunk.
A feline dog.
Hot ice.
The bright darkness.
The square ball.
A happy emo kid.
A straight curve.
Straight guy dating a transgender woman.
Pan with an untouchable handle.
An altruistic politician.
A male ladybug.
Sunrise from the west.
A midnight solar eclipse.
A silent lol.
A bald guy selling shampoo.
Our culture is in a weird place. Sometimes it seems like we’re living in the upside down, doesn’t it?
