It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yeah but the grammar? I thought fella was the right spelling?

It's a misspelling either way, it's saying "fellow" but with an accent/dialect. I saw "fellers" in the subtitles for Red Dead Redemption 2 last night so it's definitely used

It's a great play on words though you should definitely keep using it

Not mine sadly, but yeah it's a banger. Gonna adopt the better spelling from now - It's the idea of a smart fellow to the fart smellows

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I think both "fella" and "feller" are slang versions of "fellow".

Works either way for people with non-rhotic accents!
