Saint Jack
From what I could gather, Diego appears to come from Thiago. Thid means that San Diego would be Saint James.
It’s named after Saint Didacus, who went by Diego, I guess.
Muahh see, my language better than yours! Mahhh see, I was born in the right zip code therefore I’m special! Muahhhh
Especially ironic in San Diego, where literally anywhere in the city is a mere 15 minute drive to the Mexican border.
San Diego is full of the wildly entitled and elderly though, so the self-selecting personalities can’t be a surprise for anyone who has lived there.
It’d be a really pleasant place to live if it weren’t for the huge amount of selfish, entitled fucking pricks that do.
Wikipedia knows what saint the city was named after: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego#Name
Whales vagina
Agree to disagree
I saw that. You should probably lay low for a while.
Oh heck yeah friggin racist le epic owned
People clapped so hard their hands hurt.
And then we all clapped
“A whale’s vagina.”
Go fuck yourself, San Diego.
St Jacob
Saint James?
Sand the eggo.
The accurate response to this is “a whale’s vagina.” Idk how one can live there and not know this.
Scholars maintain that the translation was lost long ago!
Woof. I said something similar before seeing your comment.
Foreigner here, what’s the joke there?
It’s from the movie Anchorman with Will Ferrell, it’s his pickup line on a date.
Is it an interesting question @ptz@dubvee.org
If she had responded with “A Whale’s Vagina,” I would have died.
Lmao, if you live in San Diego and can’t handle Spanish you’re gonna have a bad time.
All of Southern California really.
My favorite is when dickhead white folks say they want “all the brown people to go back where they came from,” without the slightest clue that they were here first, and then they get real pissy when you point that fact out.
I live in a white flight town in the bay area. We’re still 20% Hispanic. Maybe Shasta?
Even then, most of California was predominantly Hispanic from the mid 1700s onward. When the Spaniards came to Baja California in the mid 1750s, they established 5 Franciscan missions in baja, along with 21 missions between San Diego and just north of the bay. They mixed with the indigenous population, who then became known as Californios. It wasn’t until white people started showing up just prior to and especially during the gold rush, with then California becoming a US state in 1850. Even then, it wasn’t until the late 1800s/early 1900s that California became predominantly white, and that was primarily due to the sheer number of white folks that moved west in such numbers that eclipsed the local Hispanic population.
So Californication?
The epitome of Californication lol
Yeah I point out that Texas used to actually be part of Mexico and the border moved, not the people.
Apparently white folk in Texas despise being called Texicans
We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us.
In capitalist America.
The border moved because Mexico had banned slavery so they fought a war to keep it.
Texas is the only state in the union to fight a war for slavery TWICE.
And that, kids, is the important thing to remember about The Alamo
Isn’t Texas properly pronounced as Te-has, a Mexican name?
Tejas is from the native americans, if I remember rightly. Something to do with ‘friend’ or ‘friendship’ I think. Then it gets filtered through the spanish language before coming to english as texas.
Take away the tacos and watch the border crossing open up
Saint James…
The point being she didn’t even know.
Fun fact, the name Santiago, is basically the same as San Diego. Originally, it comes from the hebrew Jacob (ya-akov), then Sant Iago (Iago sounds similar to ya-akob, it’s the latinization of the name IIRC). I think Diego actually comes from shortening Santiago to Thiago, and then to Diego. Basically all comes from Jacob. In Spanish, the actual translation for James would be Jaime, not Diego. I don’t know what happened there or if Jaime and Diego as somehow related etymologically.
Without Doug.
Saint James
Without = Sin Saint = San
Saint Doug
