Is there a single neutral word......

[k22fan]

I'm sorry that I did not notice that I wrote the contraction for who is.

Forget all previous examples. This one stands alone. Improved example:
Registered Magnum #1, whose bluing might be worn thin, is worth more than $250,000.

Can an inanimate object possess? If RM #1 can possess then is there a different possessive specific to inanimate objects?

Don't need the points myself, but someone ought to be able to work something out of she/he/it.

I see what you did here, and I am still laughing!

 

[BAM-BAM]

At the risk of offending the "Mods"

"Jerk "and "Snowflake" are gender neutral; and tend to describe folks who take offense to he/she or him/her .

In "The Burgh"........ "Jagoff" is often used!

... sorry could not resist.


As you can see above;I tend to just use "Folk(s)"

Aren't we up to 50 some options??????? ....... but I see your logic.

 

[chaparrito]

Who's wasn't correct in any sense. It is the contraction of "who is." Whose would have been correct, but it would have referred to the owner, not the RM.

... the owner of Registered Magnum #1, condition unknown, turned down....

This. But I'd have used a semi-colon after #1. Picky picky.

12 letter substitute for "adherent of Oedipus".

It's probably more accurate to say "crude and disgusting, but well educated enough to bury that in euphemisms in some settings". I'm from the east, and have rough friends, plus I have been coarsened by decades in LE and prosecution. I can and do use "the all purpose part of speech" for all purposes.

the aforementioned

 

[Kurusu]

And I was nearly stung by a Portuguese Person of War at the beach the other day....

Just wait till you get stung by a Portuguese Woman of War. After that you won't make anymore jokes about it.

Don't ask me why I know anything about that.

Edit. By the way. The word you are looking for is... UNSUB.

 

[kozmic]

As to not offend one of the eighty-some-odd gender "options", I have resorted to just grunting and pointing.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

i was about to post the genderless description i often use. but thought bettre of it.

Does it atart with the letter "A" and end with "hole"?????

 

[ParadiseRoad]

I also believe 'they' works.

So does 'Pat'.

 

[CCHGN]

I am deeply troubled by the "they" that I see used by young people .

Well, "they" would definitely NOT work there, in ANY case, because he said in a "either/or" situation, so those "young people" would get an F for not paying attention to the instructions.

 

[David LaPell]

I would have to go with the word "It" as well.

I know I have been to Walmart enough times and seen plenty of things I would have to classify as "it" that would be tough to describe any other way or by gender.

 

[gregintenn]

How about "you'uns"?

In Tennessee, this pronoun is used beginning at the Jackson/Macon county line and eastward.

 

[MTC(SS)Ret]

I rather like "youse"
