From Urban Dictionary over 20 years ago:
Comrade (noun, adjective): The best greeting in the world; A true worker’s word.
Burning ameriKKKan flags again, comrade?
Hell yea comrade 😎
Not in German unfortunately :/
You can also append an ess to English words if you want a gendered form. It’s just less common.
Comradess? I dont think thats legit. Kameradin/Genossin on the other hand is the official female version in German so its gendered by default
Finna start using ‘citizen’ as an honorific
Pick up that can 😎
On the one hand, love
On the other, I’m an American by way of birth lottery and hate borders. Comrade for me!
Way I see it, “Comrade” is a term of endearment, like “mate” or “dude” or whatever.
Whereas “Citizen” is a honorific. An ungendered stand-in for “sir/madam”.
In socialist Poland both were used, but “comrade” (Towarzysz/Towarzyszka) was the honorific for member of the party while “citizen” (Obywatel/Obywatelka) was used for everyone else in official situations. Most people still used the “Pan/Pani” (Mr/Mrs) though, which was a bit reactionary because in Polish language this word does not even come from the bourgeoise honorific “Master” but from the aristocratic “Lord”.
I prefer the gender neutral dude. We’re all dudes on this glorious day.
Dude definitely has masculine roots, it isn’t really gender neutral even if it is sometimes used as such.
👎
I dunno, I like ‘dudette’. It’s a fun and silly word.
Dudette is a silly word. But its sole existence is to make dude gendered.
Or just because it was a joke in some shitty comedy.
I’ve only ever heard ‘Dude’ used about men. So I can not attest to it’s gender neutrality.
You need to use it in a gender neutral way, my dude.
I’m not a native english speaker. “Dude” isn’t part of my general vocabulary, with the exception of internet forums.
Don’t use comrade because you’re not a dweeb 👉
Mean…
I’m a dweeb and a comrade, friend
