that said, i think that some of us forget what it was like to go to school - especially how fucking boring i was. any phrase that would get a rise… in my school, it was one dude yelling “BIG BOOTY HOES” and then everyone who heard it would yell 'UP WIT IT"
How shibboleth came to mean password or dog whistle instead of an ear of wheat is from a pretty dark bible story:
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
thanks for teaching me a new word!
