Prof. White Man tried to pull a §m£ÂgØL. Promptly got evacuated.

    Professor Greg Patton at the University of Southern California (USC) was telling students in a communications lecture last month about filler, or pause words, such as 'err', 'umm' or 'you know' in English.

    Footage of his lecture, which has now gone viral, shows Prof Patton saying: "In China, the common pause word is 'that, that, that'. So in China, it might be na-ge, na-ge, na-ge."

    Enunciated, na-ge sounds like the N-word, which led several of the professor's students to complain to the university. Responding to the complaint, the dean of the university, Geoffrey Garrett, told students that Prof Patton would no longer be teaching the course.

    "It is simply unacceptable for the faculty to use words in class that can marginalize, hurt and harm the psychological safety of our students," he said.

    The university says that Prof Patton "volunteered to step away" from his role amid the investigation into complaints made against him.

    News of the spat reached China, where many posted on social media saying they thought his punishment discriminated against speakers of the Chinese language.

    I started off initially as a Temple of the Screaming Electron phreaker. We warned of this day coming, way back then.

    The bible by itself has some wise lessons. But when it is interpeted as a literal work by churches it's a joke.

    I have heard it spoken IRL quite a bit.

    Even when said quickly, the cadence and stress is off to sound like "nigga".

    But again, I don't talk to communists.

    One guy would reach out and grab the other guy's nutsack, and then both guys would have to tell each other the truth, existing in such an intimate moment.
