Cultural appropriation

Never heard of her.

I think the whole idea of "honours" and blue plaques is slightly bizarre.

What a conundrum for the right!

Either cultural appropriation exists or they have to stick up for those poncey Southern intellectual types

Seriously though I suspect she isn’t well known because sadly, she was female, and her achievements lesser despite being orders of magnitude more than most men

What do you mean by poncey?

What do you mean by poncey?

Is this you second or third cross-thread bite? Great meltdown potential here, you’re losing it after being properly shown up.

Just answer the question, what do you mean by ‘poncey’? Is it a homophobic slur?

Loads of examples of blue plaques where the person only paid a brief(ish) visit, eg there’s one for Jimi Hendrix on a house where he stayed and another for the Beatles on a place where they stayed in Baker Street.

Took a pic if that on Saturday funnily enough

A ponce is an effeminate man, not a homosexual man. Unless you’re assuming that all effeminate men are homosexual, which would be very stereotypical of you.

I’ve no idea what effeminate means tbh

That doesn’t surprise me. If you’ve always been that way then you’d just call it normal.

The OED definition is ‘Louis Spence’.

What's wrong with being like a woman?

A lot, if you’re not one.

Like what? What is it that I do, what is it about me (taking me as an example) which is so offensive for a man to do/be like?

Fair enough but think about it.

Was it the Hendrix one on the house were Handel also lived (and also has a plaque)? Love that.

Poncey isn't anything to do with being effeminate, which per Janie isn't anything to be bothered about anyway. Poncey is about things or people that are much fancier than they supposedly need to be, implying style over substance and pretentiousness. It's like a fancy dan winger who doesn't tackle back, but creates and scores goals. People who don't like anything to be the least bit poncey would prefer their team to be eleven cloggers who are honest and hardworking but create nowt.
