Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

It’s much more awkward as a subject of the crown. I tried explaining the game “telestrations” as pictionary + chinese whispers before I had this knowledge. I didn’t know!!! It’s even right there in the name!!! I swear I’m not racist!!!
(Note: I am of chinese origin and have heard my extended family mangle messages through the telephone. So both names are real to me)
As a white British dude the problem is that "Telephone" is an Americanism, so I think the solution is that we find an entirely new name to describe speech-like yet utterly incomprehensible-to-the-listener noises that's completely devoid of cultural appropriation. I suggest "This is all Trump to me". The game could be "Trump Tweets".
Cofveve.
Definitely that. "It's all covfefe to me"
Bottom Trumps
