You can now have “spore pronouns” as regular pronouns are “a bit boring”, says Sky News host Rita Panahi.

In a video a TikTok user says people can use spore pronouns if they have already tried using “he/ze/it pronouns” or if they feel a strong relationship with nature.

“Now you’ve got neopronouns, and they’re endless,” Ms Panahi said.

Examples of Neopronouns
Xe/xem/xyrs/xemself.
Xy/xyr/xyrs/xyrself.
Hi/hir/hirs/hirself.
Ze/zir/zirs/zirself.
Ey/em/eirs/emself.
Ne/nem/nems/nemself.
Fae/faer/faers/faerself.
Ae/aer/aers/aerself.

Doesn't look that hard to remember? :lol:

I think when we eventually have smart glasses they can ID a person/pronoun before we speak to them

How widespread is 'spore' , it's the first time I've heard it.

I would take it seriously enough to use 'spore' if someone told me that was their preference.

First time I heard "spore".

I have a very poor memory.
Generally speaking, I honestly wouldn't be able to remember the numerous pronoun preferences.
Constantly looking at each person's tag would be tedious.
I am not made for this new world.
And when I am gone, I ain't coming back. 8)

It all started with Mogai. Tiktok is just repeating the nonsense that happened on Tumblr. Here's a video explanation that may help:

Remember a time when women couldn't vote? And certain people weren't allowed on golf courses?

That too, but Grunge Speak was a prank played on the media. Basically invented slang for the media to print and pretend like they were informed about what was cool.

Ron Howard: They were not.
