My Vocabulary Lesson

By The Changeling | April 30, 2008

Usually when I see an ad that says “Needs Tranny” I think to myself “Yeah, don’t we all?” but after seeing it on a car a few days ago, I realized that the word had more than one meaning. See, that’s the great thing about being in Bed-Stuy–you’re always learning something new.

    Hi Bedstuy Blogger,

    Ok…now your reaching. Sounds like you are trying to be like bedstuybanana.blogspot.com/. Having trouble finding an audience to lift up bed stuy. The obvious choice is to find an audience to laugh at bed stuy. You can always find another neighborhood to write about. Again, I think bedstuybanana.blogspot.com has that niche covered.

    Keep it positive are lose it. Oh my…did brownstoner drop bedstuybanana.blogspot.com from their list of favorite blogs? I wonder why?

    Ano, you should worry less about me and spend more time studying vocabulary. Focus on learning the difference between “your” and “you’re” and then work on figuring out the difference between “are” and “or,” and then get back to me.

    And for the record, I’m not trying to be like anyone. The only other place I’ve lived in NYC is Chelsea, so the term “tranny” never meant “transmission” to me. I thought it was funny that the word had another meaning I knew nothing about. When I saw this car parked on the street my first impulse was to photograph it.

    Ano, you need to LIGHTEN UP!

    Ok…so you and I both get a C grade! Good thing I don’t write for a living. However, you do! Nevertheless, I will lighten up because I generally like your posts.

    i really don’t understand why people feel the need to visit blogs, read, and then criticize if they don’t like them. with the amount of blogs covering brooklyn it seems highly unlikely that someone can’t find something that appeals to them. why waste your time and energy on a blog that isn’t doing it for you?

    trannies are kind of awesome.
