Bert and Ernie were heterosexual life mates loosely based on the odd couple. I am sure that their origin has changed and the famous rubber ducky now serves as a butt plug.

I  don't think *** can have platonic friends. They even tried to say that Sherlock Holmes and Watson were **** each other. *** have a one-track mind. Degenerates.

Children's characters being worn by adults always borders on creepy.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

I see adults wearing Disney shirts and feel puking or hitting them.

 
I worked with a guy who had a Donald Duck shirt and a collection of other Donald Duck stuff. He was ex-military. Special forces stationed in Korea. We were friends. Me and my girlfriend double-dated with him and his wife. He wasn't fem or creepy in any way. He was totally normal. But if you crossed him, he would hunt you down. He could be scary. He was nice and funny, but regarded betrayal as the ultimate sin.

Well it doesn't strike me as a very heterosexual shirt

It's bad ***, with a hint of hetero-foot massaging implications.

Yeah, I heard the same thing. Sad.

Best man at my wedding was gay. One of the nicest guys I have known. He did flirt with me quite a bit but think it was mostly in jest.

....and I got out my favorite "My Little Pony" shirt just for you!



Me so sad, I think I'm gonna cry.

 

In junior high school, the biggest guy in our class (he was a real bodybuilder) wore a grey Mickey Mouse shirt. He didn't hear a squeak out of anyone about it.

I really don't have "group opinions". Although stereotypes are not created by accident. One kid I grew up with ended up being gay. In high school, he **** plenty of good looking girls though. Even at an early age, I knew he was a psychopath. He's currently in prison.

I guess I would be puking in front of him rather than hitting him.

LOL - I like it!  He should have tried a My Little Pony shirt.  It's just daring a smart-*** with a sharp tong to get the beatdown of a lifetime.

You don't see it spelled "grey" much anymore, at least not in the States?

He co-hosted with a fat black chick with a big mouth.
Their banter was sickening. That shirt suits him.

Keen observation. I did know both were acceptable. I have been reading Wodehouse recently, maybe that explains my subconscious usage.

ChatGPT:

Grey and gray are both correct spellings of the same word, which means the color between black and white. The only difference is that **grey** is more common in **British English**, while **gray** is more common in **American English.

depends on my state of mind; I use either at times.

Well, ChatGPT is wrong.  Grey and Gray used to be correct spellings in the US.  The spelling "Grey" was phased out as a correct spelling in the US nearly 4 decades ago.  It is no longer considered correct here. It is still acceptable in the UK.

I find this quite interesting.  ChatGPT got this wrong because it lacks understanding of nuance, locality and time.

Now, this is not all that easy to find.  However, in the 1990s, a movement began in the U.S. to establish national educational standards for students across the country.  This included spelling. There were attempts at this since 1969, but it was never consistently applied. So, while the dictionaries seem to recognize both spellings, in U.S., public and private schools simply eliminated the dual spellings of many word which also have a British variation.  For testing purposes, redundant variations in spelling needed to be eliminated. This was eventually included in Common Core, which came about around 2008.  This was pushed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. 

So, if you are a Middle School student writing a paper for an English class in any of the 50 States, and you use spellings like "grey", "colour", "neighbour" or "bleu (hardly ever seen except in french speaking areas), you will get a BIG RED X.

I live in a subjective reality, and grey is still my favourite.

I bought this shirt a while back because I thought it was funny and I like the movie Pulp Fiction. While wearing it, a couple of people asked me if I was woke.
I think the left has appropriated Bert and Ernie and made them gay, and they are now part of the Alphabet Mafia. Can I still wear this shirt or am I sending the wrong message?

What message? You are simply wearing a shirt other people define beyond you just wearing a shirt. You ever learn how to resist psychological class warfare without getting involved with psychological class warfare?

When you do, you will be surround by patriotic deniers of self evident life from every alternate reality worshipping parallel universes.
