And start calling jd Justa Dick
The initials are jd
It’s right there 😂

chelittle.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yeah you got that right.But here's the thing they're evasive only due to corruption.And they're about as shifty as white people dancing. Unsound that goes without saying unstable their actions show that unreliable well it's a con. And it is very risky and they have clumsy handling which exposes them

democrats4good.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yes, and…

eggzbacn.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yes!!!

gillianthomas65.bsky.social•53 days ago

Hahaha, so very true and I’m adopting this! Thanks 😊

Ok Low

greengirlmissy.bsky.social•53 days ago

Dude, I've been pronouncing it like the stupid bitcoins.

richpr.bsky.social•54 days ago

Better yet, change the name to a more accurate one: Department Of Unqualified Cunts Hacking Everything

spa-bsky.bsky.social•53 days ago

Good call!

queenief.bsky.social•53 days ago

Douchey works as well

shawnw39.bsky.social•54 days ago

I've been pronouncing it ˈdü-shē for a while now.

morningfog.bsky.social•54 days ago

This is another valid choice, but to me not as on-the-nose.

toxteth1.bsky.social•53 days ago

Stop pronouncing it like it exists in law. Because it doesn't...

dkshop60.bsky.social•53 days ago

I have been saying they couldn't pronounce Kamala correctly, so we should call it dodgy.

michaeljjohnson.bsky.social•54 days ago

DOGE: an utterance preferred by the idiot when he suddenly realized he made another huge mistake.

drevilzombie.bsky.social•54 days ago

For real though, I'm pretty sure Elon has been mispronouncing this for so long that now everyone does it. Before it was called "cryptocurrency," they were called E-Coins. So, Dog-E-Coin. Or doggie coin. And thus, the picture of the doggie on the coin.

morningfog.bsky.social•54 days ago

DOGE pronounced as DOJ predates Elon.

Elon just showed up later and acted like he invented it, as he does with everything.

drevilzombie.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yeah I have some weird Mandela Effect thing with this

daybreak-system.bsky.social•53 days ago

it's always been "doggie" to me

daybreak-system.bsky.social•53 days ago

douj is the most cursed pronounciation of doge i've ever seen

morningfog.bsky.social•53 days ago

It's just Americanized Italian.

maevedu.bsky.social•54 days ago

I've been advocating for this for over a month now. Good luck (sincerely meant, not sarcasm)

straycatgood.bsky.social•52 days ago

FANTASTIC!

Dodgy it is. Kudos, Lo! 🏆

stephscythes.bsky.social•54 days ago

Speaking of right there...

morningfog.bsky.social•54 days ago

There's that 1958 episode of the TV Western 'Trackdown', where there's a traveling con man named Trump who arrives in town and claims the world's about to end, and only he can save the town - by building a wall.
It's the weirdest thing. Even mentions "the big lie".

stephscythes.bsky.social•53 days ago

I am not familiar with that show but that episode sounds #prescient.

morningfog.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s on YouTube I believe

stephscythes.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thx

kthlnhrzg.bsky.social•52 days ago

probably seen by Putin as a training video in the KGB & viola who shows up in 1987😑

susando.bsky.social•54 days ago

When they start saying 'ungood' - you'll know you're living in Oceania.

morningfog.bsky.social•54 days ago

EEEEK

morningfog.bsky.social•54 days ago

Yup.

susando.bsky.social•54 days ago

The UK dictionary meaning:

Trump - to exhale gas from the anus.

Which I knew would come in handy one day. 😉

kthlnhrzg.bsky.social•52 days ago

kydontdie.bsky.social•53 days ago

Fuck those doge bags

ncweaver.skerry-tech.com•54 days ago

kabukistar.bsky.social•54 days ago

I prefer the Department Of Unelected Clown Harming Everything

dpbsmith.bsky.social•53 days ago

I pronounce it similarly to Homer Simpson saying "D'oh!"

dfarber1959.bsky.social•53 days ago

I pronounce it douche.

friendo-101.bsky.social•53 days ago

ari-zona.bsky.social•54 days ago

I've been pronouncing it dodgy since I first saw it. It just seemed to fit right from the start.

daybreak-system.bsky.social•53 days ago

I like to pronounce it “douche,” but yours is great too

monsdb.bsky.social•53 days ago

💯

tg62.bsky.social•53 days ago

Same with his stupid e-coin. It's clearly a dog on an e-coin, dog-e-coin but they like to pronounce it doge .. like Target becomes Tar-shay.

the-angry-skeptic.bsky.social•53 days ago

Pretty it’s pronounced “douche” or “douchey” but ok

denniscruisecomedy.bsky.social•53 days ago

"DAWG EE" you don't say ehhhhmail....you say EE Mail. So it is naturally "DAWG EE" ;-)

deryckeleven.bsky.social•54 days ago

Agreed. https://bsky.app/profile/deryckeleven.bsky.social/post/3lin2emp3ks2t

mickdundee59.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s actually pronounced Dog e but I prefer yours.👍👍👍

mop-fautneddy.bsky.social•53 days ago

Rachel was pronouncing it "DOOGE" last week... Not quite "douche" but damn close.

chicagoali.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yep. This is what I call it.

lordy57.bsky.social•54 days ago

Oh.. you mean there's another way to pronounce it other than Dodgy?
The voice in my head knows no other way..
It even lines up.

morningfog.bsky.social•54 days ago

Right?!?

The ruby slippers were on our feet all along.

daybreak-system.bsky.social•53 days ago

why the FUCK is it being transcribed like that? no one says that

morningfog.bsky.social•53 days ago

A stern email to American Heritage Dictionary could to get to the bottom of this scandal

daybreak-system.bsky.social•53 days ago

im gonna sand onr and tel them they're wrong

daybreak-system.bsky.social•53 days ago

English doesn't even have tones!

juhneenhowe.bsky.social•53 days ago

I pronounce it doggy

happyhiram.bsky.social•53 days ago

I pronounce it Dodge. The second D is invisible but pronounced.

punkadude.bsky.social•54 days ago

I couldn’t sayin it like that either so I go with Dogie (as in woof) - Dept Of Govt InEfficiency, esp after those morons fired staff from the Energy Dept who manage our nuclear fuckin’ arsenal, and then couldn’t get in touch with them peeps to hire them back. Dumbasses coulda wiped out the entire US

bklanewriter.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s pronounced DOUCHE.
You’re welcome ☺️

motorthing68.bsky.social•53 days ago

It's pronounced DOUCHE.

eugenehetzel.bsky.social•53 days ago

thepakman602.bsky.social•53 days ago

olderspicier.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yes!
Dodgy
or
Doggy

Also, remember the difficulty many people had pronouncing Kamala , la correctly.

I propose we call the zombie “Ellen” to our maga families.

pimbarnett.bsky.social•52 days ago

I’m from South Louisiana. I prefer the French pronunciation: Douche.

buildbluewall.bsky.social•53 days ago

No.

He's the Doge of Menace

guero-gordo.bsky.social•54 days ago

...but dogebags retains the other pronunciation

phillyphibbs.bsky.social•54 days ago

I've lost count of the amount of times I've written 'Dodgy doge'.

pdutill.bsky.social•54 days ago

I have refused to call it the name he wants us to call it, because he named it that for the lulz. If I have to, I say, "DGE because we don't say FBOI".
