Is that how we got the word "pediatrician"?
Yes.
A pedometer measures children too.
It's funny in Asia, dangerous in the west.
Can someone photoshop Trump and Epstein on each side of the sign? TIA, no tip jar, its for the benefit of humanity
I just want to say that our language use has now been so poisoned by a child predator being called "pedophiles" because "pedo" is greek for child that we attribute just the word to a child predator. IMO pedofile is a bad word because there is zero love involved, they are child predators.
the term "child rapist" is also fair
Wait, they have a whole planet now? I thought it was just an island.
That's like Maralargo.
I mean, I can see what they were going for here, sure... But this probably had to have - what - likev a half dozen or so (allegedly ⁷functioning) adults review all of this, likely discuss it amongst themselves to boot... Anyway, all of that and still - yadda yadda yadda - we make it through all of that without a single motherfucker being like, "So, ya don't think the name will attract any... undesirable elements for a care center or anything like that?"
Does it have the same connotation in India?
"Pedo Planet" sounds like the name of some CSAM distributor you can find on the dark web or similar place. Giving that name to your dentistry will guarantee that some people will try to investigate your business.
should've been 'child canyon'
...the teachers were called 'paedogogues' not 'pedogogues'...
Yes but it's the same thing because some countries just have letters missing as usual so Pedro = paedo
...you, poor, poor soul...
I hate how everyone mispronounces the word. We say Peed-iatrician not ped-iatrician so it is not peh-dophile but peed-ophile.
For someone who walks by foot, they are called peh-destrians, not Pee-destrians.
So, do you have a child fetish or a foot fetish? Peed or Ped will reveal all.
what a pedant.
