  • I’ve heard it with varying degrees of the R sound. There’s a common shorthand “bougie” (BOO-zhee) that people often hear before learning the original term, so they’ll maintain the pronunciation into BOO-zhwa.

    Sometimes the R is slightly swallowed so it sounds more like BOH-zhwa, maybe very light throat vocalization. Or people skip over it and it’s buh-ZHWA. Some commit fully for BOR-zhwa.

    Universally seems to maintain (my non-native understanding of) the French “oi” and silent S.

    I have yet to hear anyone pronounce it correctly: bor-gee-oice.


  • What is this image lmao

    Like why is fry on Jimmy Fallon holding a beer

    Is it implying he’s the one saying the joke, while being interviewed on the talk show??

    Freud was all about building interesting models for human consciousness, then using them to come to the wildest conclusions.

    Tbf, with the sexually repressed and patriarchal society he was working in, there may have been some truth to the complexes he described. But to try and universalize them was a mistake imo.

    Some interpret “penis envy” as a purely symbolic metaphor for envying the power and freedom given to men, with the inverse “castration anxiety” being fear of losing said power.

    Freud hypothesized the subconscious had its own logic that was more about association than rational connection.
