Clearly it's more than my little way, several have made similar comments.
Rubio means blonde in Spanish man... It's masculine, the politician is not the only definition of this word.
This forum is in the English language and I for one had no idea Rubio means blonde in Spanish. To most US-based non-latino readers, the first association they will make with the word Rubio is the politician, not blonde.
Happy ending? Really buddy? Do you do anything except lookup dirty words on urban dictionary with your sad little life? Come on man do you tell that to your children when they read their children books with a "happy ending" written on it? It amazes me that you took it as far as to say that he needs to change it because it may have repercussions on the F/A.... You gotta be kidding me. Grow up, please...
I'm not raising any children, but if I were, I'd wait till they were mature and explain to them that things they post on the Internet can have unintended meanings, and they need to be pretty savvy about how others interpret what they write. Of course these days it's a good bet that they are already Internet savvy and snarky and would be sure to point out that "think of the children" is already an Internet meme:
"Think of the children" (also "What about the children?") is a cliché that evolved into a rhetorical tactic.[1][2][3] Literally it refers to children's rights (as in discussions of child labor).[4][5][6] In debate, however, as a plea for pity, used as an appeal to emotion, it is a logical fallacy.[1][2][3]
Ref:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_of_the_childrenThe logical fallacy is that the person using the plea is really not asking you to think of the children, they're really trying to distract you. In this case, that 'something else' seems to be you not wanting to admit the title has a second meaning quite different from the first. The article says "According to the authors, a debater may use the phrase to emotionally sway members of the audience and avoid logical discussion" and "Ethicist Jack Marshall described 'Think of the children!' as a tactic used in an attempt to end discussion by invoking an unanswerable argument.".
See, I do use the Internet for more things than reading Urban Dictionary. And I have to say using Urban Dictionary has helped me avoid embarrassment on more than one occasion, and I've referred people to it in several cases where they clearly did not understand how what they were saying would be interpreted. It has, for instance, helped me avoid explaining to work colleagues how "fag" might not be understood as a slang word for a cigarette and how a "teabagger" wasn't a reference to how much someone enjoyed tea.
So, in conclusion, my life is happy, and I am being a grown up.
