Knew that was coming.

With that caboose, it’s an unfortunate choice.
From this day forward I am imagining I don’t know what the A stands for.

A**H*LE?
I’m sure the eight black people in the world who listen to country music will really appreciate it.
They could have got a two-fer if they changed their name to
‘Auntie Bellum’.
I do. It has two syllables and ends in a silent vowel.
25 genders are offended by the Lady part, not the antebellum part...
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
