Funny that it was akward on the one hand and funny on the other hand that Jeopardy totally botched on not awarding him the money for all the wrong reasons. Proof that the show is run by unkowing nerds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mordorbund Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Jeopardy!? The game that let's you drop the "Jr." (as in Martin Luther King Jr.)? The game that supports the claim that Australia is the largest island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anatess2 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 TIL gangster has a different meaning than gangsta. Although I fail to see the difference. Gangsta is not criminal while gangster is? Is that it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 It's a cultural dialect thing. White guys with mortgages and jobs, who do things like type on keyboards or appear on Jeopardy, say "gangster". Folks who say "gangsta" aren't really here to represent their group.
