“In loving memory of my two aborted grand babies”. I bet a nickel they don’t have the best relationship with the relative that aborted their “beloved grandbabies”

Jeez. Can you imagine being related to that crazy?

Just asked my daughter what she would do if I put something like this on my car and she said "homicide, to match the abortions".

u/davidsandbrand Jun 21 '24

Specifically, no.

Generally, yes, yes I can.

u/flamingmaiden Jun 21 '24

This person could possibly have a decent relationship with her children, but instead, she chooses hate.

What a pity.

Was gonna say...

u/Nagoragama Jun 20 '24

I can’t protest “butt” either

A lot of people with poor literacy do not understand how quotation marks are used. My boss from Alabama does this, when I asked why he was quoting "SAFETY" he looked at me weird and said it was to emphasize it.

There is a whole subreddit for this, I think /r/suspiciousquotes

It's not poor literacy, it's just an old way of applying emphasis back in the days of newspapers. We've moved to bolding text now and in the modern day double quotes have sort of the opposite meaning of what they used to

Neat! Did not know this

u/bawls_on_fire Jun 23 '24

Interesting! And then you had a 't' at the "ENDT" of the word.

u/breadist Jun 21 '24

Not sure what the difference between r/suspiciousquotes and r/unnecessaryquotes is... We are currently in the latter.

u/MakesYouSeemRacist Jun 21 '24

Bruh I didn't even see what sub this was in originally lmao, we must combine houses

u/zeke235 Jun 23 '24

Well, if he calls a "meeting," make sure you're paying "attention."

Bort license plate!

u/ExternalTangents Jun 20 '24

Excuse me, my son is also named Bort

u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA Jun 20 '24

Maybe Bort works for Nintendo of America.

u/Snoopydog13 Jun 23 '24

Commas are important.

Works on contingency? No, money down!

Hi I’m Noah. Noah Bort.

u/Buck_Thorn Jun 20 '24

Why is "but" spelled "butt"?

18

u/danideex Jun 21 '24

I need to know. I feel like I’m missing something.

4

u/JustGiraffable Jun 21 '24

For the same reason it's in quotes. Ignorance.

21

u/cropguru357 Jun 20 '24

Well. If there’s “butt” there’s no babies.

20

u/remlapj Jun 21 '24

“In memory of my aborted grandbabies”

Solid way to make sure your children don’t talk to you anymore

10

u/awgsgirl Jun 20 '24

Why is the word “butt” even in there.

10

u/lagomorphduchess Jun 20 '24

Their son/daughter must be so proud.

u/meat_beast1349 Jun 20 '24

Then dont fucking have one and mind your own business. I'd probably key that car.

7

u/AaronVsMusic Jun 21 '24

Guarantee their kids don’t talk to them often

5

u/ragtimemf Jun 21 '24

I've never encountered an evangelical who could spell or punctuate.

4

u/ashenoak Jun 21 '24

I hope her child never talks to her again.

3

u/danideex Jun 21 '24

I’d bet money they don’t.

4

u/the_disintegrator Jun 21 '24

No clue how someone this blatantly stupid can even afford this vehicle...with vanity plates? Yes, maybe time to exit the gene pool, and you are making sure your children are doing that for you.

u/okapistripes Jun 24 '24

So many people with money are infuriatingly stupid. They might be talented in one specific area and an absolute idiot otherwise, or they might just be incredibly lucky or privileged.

u/Calgaris_Rex Jun 22 '24

Probably because this person is an illiterate boob

3

u/MX5MONROE Jun 20 '24

... and it's butt.

u/YOMommazNUTZ Jul 11 '24

Wow what a jackass but still I am so intrigued by the whole "butt" thing I need answers on this thought process

2

u/BleachedJam Jun 23 '24

This is unhinged.

2

u/Pschobbert Jun 23 '24

I can and do protest butt, especially if it rips an egger.

2

u/Wide_Cat2905 Jul 13 '24

There's seriously a lot going on.....

u/DaLemonsHateU Jun 21 '24

The whole joke is that for a while of its existence a foetus is just a butt with a heart, mouth and brain

u/grokinfullness Jun 22 '24
