Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Ok, "cismale" took me off guard, and lands so well!

...Call me cismale

Do you mean...CisMael

Swap the letter order a bit, to get closer to the pronounciation?

Somebody help me out. Is afab a trans acronym or something? I haven't heard that one.

I am still stuck on "whomst".

...and loving it! ❤️😁

It’s grammatically incorrect here and makes my eye twitch.

You wouldn’t say “whom among us” so you also wouldn’t say “whomst among us.”

You can use it as an object of a verb or preposition though. Like:

“Whomst dost thou hunt?” Or “Those from whomst we flee doth terrify!”

And still somehow, "whilst" just sounds like a huffy neckbeard in a fresh coat of Axe. 🤢
