"cackling"??? interesting sublim there, rawstory. niyad Nov 2023 #1

Thought The Same ProfessorGAC Nov 2023 #2

Or deliberate? niyad Nov 2023 #3

Really a poor choice of words PatSeg Nov 2023 #5

who cackles? Stardust Mirror Nov 2023 #6

So true. Men are almost never described as "cackling." Sky Jewels Nov 2023 #30

Poof! Stardust Mirror Nov 2023 #32

But there are kharmic penalties for advancing life forms. niyad Nov 2023 #43

No need to get your feathers ruffled just because the author laid an egg. jaxexpat Nov 2023 #12

Really?? The person made an intentionally sexist, offensive niyad Nov 2023 #56

Only if you can endure the offensive weight of it. jaxexpat Nov 2023 #62

I use cackle a lot. Usually when I'm saying EllieBC Nov 2023 #18

Difference is you use it to describe yourself... Caliman73 Nov 2023 #19

Good point. EllieBC Nov 2023 #21

"visibly chuckling" would be neutral. "Cackling" is rather pejorative. SharonAnn Nov 2023 #24

Was just going to say that Sugarcoated Nov 2023 #33

Cackling like a chicken or a witch. It is meant to be a pejorative and a nasty fucking swipe at an officer of the court. SoFlaBro Nov 2023 #25

It means she was being polite in that she didn't fall out of her seat in hysterics. flashman13 Nov 2023 #31

it was from another site's reporter Celerity Nov 2023 #38

It does give a negative connotation xmas74 Nov 2023 #40

Exactly my reaction relayerbob Nov 2023 #41

Yep redqueen Nov 2023 #49

Cackling? WTF? MineralMan Nov 2023 #4

Same here. LiberalFighter Nov 2023 #8

Yes, obviously demeaning Windicator Nov 2023 #10

I'm convinced that there are no more editors in the world. OMGWTF Nov 2023 #23

it is a quote from another site's reporter Celerity Nov 2023 #39

So what? MineralMan Nov 2023 #46

because some seem to think the wording was made up by Raw Story Celerity Nov 2023 #48

So, you're a fan of Raw Story. MineralMan Nov 2023 #50

I would not say 'fan'. They are just a left-leaning site that sometimes I find to be of worth, sometimes not. Celerity Nov 2023 #52

We all understood that. That rawstory let it stand is what niyad Nov 2023 #54

I believe that some here think it was an editorial turn of phrase made up by Raw Story. Celerity Nov 2023 #57

Ahhh, understood. niyad Nov 2023 #58

"Raw Story" is what it is, best taken with grains of salt. Meanwhile Tish James... brush Nov 2023 #7

("Thesaurus"?!? Ain't they 'xtinct??!?) lastlib Nov 2023 #15

The last copy editor was stabbed to death with a blue pencil by an AI-instructed bot. Sad. Hekate Nov 2023 #16

Indeed. lastlib Nov 2023 #17

And to think that I nearly drowned ExWhoDoesntCare Nov 2023 #27

I have a thesaurus I_UndergroundPanther Nov 2023 #61

Actually, I still have mine from college, so it's over 40 years old! lastlib Nov 2023 #63

Many of us laugh at Trump's idiotic insults IronLionZion Nov 2023 #14

Actually I like the witchy vibe orangecrush Nov 2023 #20

It's tempting to agree with this perspective. ariadne0614 Nov 2023 #35

Tasty mkassowitz Nov 2023 #36

trump cares so little about his property mercuryblues Nov 2023 #37

If Trump can squawk, James can cackle Rocknation Nov 2023 #42

I bet she just smiled and shook her head and maybe rolled her eyes a bit SpankMe Nov 2023 #45
