Melange means mix or blend. Melanger is the verb, meaning mixing.

Which is ironic given the very much in your face apology to eugenics.

Omg what is up with the chairdogs

[–] jaybone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What’s chairdog?

Not much. What’s up with you?

What’s chair with you?

[–] CptEnder 2 points 1 month ago

I did not have a chairdog pun on my bingo card this week

what do you mean nobody talks about it? they call it "the spice melange" all the time so even if you have no concept of French you know that it's being called a spice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But without knowledge of French how would you know it's "variety"?

With knowledge of French, I know it’s not variety. I do not mean to shock everyone, but this meme is not correct.

Sometimes I put pepper on my freedom fries, when I’m feeling adventurous.

Caucasian pepper, BIPOC, or one of those desegregated peppers?

[–] jaybone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The ones that come in the packet at McDonalds.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Why does no one talk about this?

Idk, because it's not that interesting

A spice mix is the life.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I think about it all the time, actually

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe because it's too obvious?
