Might be referring to r/genZedong/ getting quarantined, that's when we had a big influx of comrades here.

I just realized the portmanteau "gen Zedong" makes less sense to Americans because they pronounce it zee.

[–] RedClouds@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As an american, I'm now confused. How should it be pronounced?

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"z" is typically "zed" in Bri'ish English

[–] RedClouds@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Ahhh, Okay.

So I would normally say 'gen zee dong', but its really 'gen "zed"-ong'.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 10 months ago

haha yeah that doesn't have the same ring to it

"Jen zee dong" still works in real English.
