minus-squareRevan343@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 days agoShould it be de-pantsing, or disempantsing, then? I think it’d be the former, but I want it to be the latter
minus-squarecalliope@retrolemmy.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 days agoI think most people would say “de-pants” but I agree with you that it SHOULD be disempantsing. Though I’m worried the “em” implies the pants are being extracted. “Dis-pantsing” is also really good though. Then when it happens people can be like “Jimmy got a dis-pants-ation”
