Grammar Outlaw
Updated: Mar 18, 2021
Definition:
A grammar outlaw is the opposite of a grammar Nazi. Grammar outlaws will use a group pronoun instead of a singular she or he, for instance, which is grammatically correct, just because the group pronoun fits better. Grammar outlaws can - or is that may - use words that flow for conversational purposes.
Exemplification of usage:
Me: Can I use the bathroom? Teacher: I don't know. CAN you? Me: Listen (bitch). You think of me as to a grammar outlaw, but I'm not. This is not a failure to communicate. You know exactly what I mean! When colloquialisms become ubiquitous, everyone understands their meaning. Now, CAN you write me the pass or not?
