A Georgia Trump supporter is trying to use an obscure law to get Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis arrested for her office’s efforts to try the former president for his alleged effort to overturn the result of his 2020 election loss.

Whether he’s legally allowed to do so is another question.

    I’m sorry, it probably isn’t as funny to a US audience but “Fani Willis” would get bullied so hard for that name in a UK school.

      Wait a second. I know this one. I speak some British. It’s Pussy Penis, isn’t it?

        That it is, Fanny = childish euphemism for a vagina, willy = childish euphemism for a penis. Spoken out loud this woman’s name sounds like Vagina Penises.

          To be fair, it’s pronounced ‘Fawny.’

            Which, coincidentally, is the British pronunciation of “fanny”, bringing us back to the root of this complex matter.

              You British people take towns with names like ‘Featherstonehaugh’ and call it Fanshaw, so you have no room to talk.

                You should see what they did to the names of Irish towns.

                How the fuck does Tobar an Choire become Tubercurry ?

                  And it’s not a place name, but why is spelled taoiseach and not even remotely pronounced the way it’s spelled?

                    That’s an Irish word meaning Chief but the English spelling of it. A lot of place names in the UK are badly anglicised versions of older names from ancient languages/dialects which is why they often pronounced differently to how they are written in English. And often it’s only people in the local area who know how to say it correctly unless it’s particularly famous or well known for some reason!

                Not to be that guy, but I’m pretty sure ‘Featherstonehaugh’ is properly pronounced as ‘fanny’.
