Jeopardy asks contestants about 'xem/xyrs/xemself' neopronouns
Quote:On Monday evening’s episode of Jeopardy, a question regarding "neopronouns" appeared on the board.
During the Tournament of Champions quarterfinal, Cris Pannullo selected the category "Speech! Parts of Speech!" for $600.
Pannullo was shown the words "Xem, Xyrs, Xemself," to which Pannullo responded, "What are pronouns."
“What are pronouns?” host Ken Jennings replied. “What are ‘neopronouns.’ You have $6,200.”
In a 2022 New York Times piece titled "A Guide to Neopronouns," such a term is defined as "a word created to serve as a pronoun without expressing gender."
Examples of such include "ze" and "zir," and can also include so-called "noun-self pronouns" such as "bun/bunself" and "fae/faer/faeself."
The piece cited a survey by the Trevor Project of 40,000 LGBTQ young people at the time which found that just four percent used neopronouns.
Pannollo’s win on the question wasn’t enough to win and move up in the championships, losing to Jared Watson, per the Washington Times.

Jeopardy died with Alex. What a shame to see how far it has fallen in four years. I fear Wheel of Fortune will fall harder after Pat and Vanna are gone.

I actually think Ken Jennings does a pretty good job.
Impossible to fill Trebek’s shoes but he does well

It’s not as if Trebek wrote the categories and answers. He was simply the host. They’ve always come from a team of writers from the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA). They very likely have a far leftist bent to them. FWIW, Alex Trebek was far left as well.

But he hid it well.

I'm starting to enjoy all this ... "it" is now better than "amish" "danes" "dem" "donk", and that word no whitey can use ...
fk'n with the latest palestinian trio was a blast....
time to hit the field to fully realize today's 'humpday yield' ... @havingFonduedFonzies
