| Zman: The Thot ocracy |
| 2017-07-29 |
| Young males have coined a term for particularly obnoxious type of female increasingly common today. The term is “thot” which, according to Urban Dictionary, is an acronym for “that ho over there.” That’s probably true, as most kids communicate via text message these days. Of course, it also sounds a lot like “twat” so that could be why it caught on with young males. Additionally, the term means a girl who is a slut, but carries on as if she is special. It’s the sort of thing that is said to bring someone down a few notches. Anyway, the word thot does not exactly roll off the tongue, but it is useful shorthand for the type of young woman that has become too common in our mass media. This is the girl, who would have been standing next to a Ford at the auto show in another era, but is now put on television as a serious commentator or journalist. They get the job because of their looks, but somehow they think they are public intellectuals. This American Thinker post about Katherine Timpf is a good example of the phenomenon. |

| #5 I stopped watching broadcast tv news a long time ago. In large part because of talking heads, male and female, asking questions that merely demonstrated their ignorance. |

| #4 I find it is the quantum mechanics that trips them up. They tilt their heads and get this puzzled look on their faces. |

| #3 Severian: Cute, semi-bright college girls are the 11th Plague. They have never, in their entire lives, heard the words “no” or “wrong.” The expression on one of these ladies’ faces when you ask her to *explain* how she arrived at the conclusion she so forcefully, confidently put forth. It’s like you asked your dog to solve a differential equation. And then the White Knights step up to the plate… yeah, my teaching evals are brutal, but it’s a kick. I've had pretty good luck teaching the dog differential equations. |

| #2 What imagination! in the transgender era, to choose a male's name for a girl. The feminine counterpart for Thot was Seshat |
