Of course, I can conclusify thusly justly because Pro can't spell to save his life: even four letter ethnic slurs are beyond Pro's capacity.

"kyke" is not a modern, English word. In the time of Chaucer, the word meant "stare:"

This Nicholas sat ever gaping upright,
As he had kyked on the newe moon.

but has no meaning now, much like this debate.

Given Pro's propensity for anti-Semitic instigation (SEE => https://www.debateart.com/debates/621 et. al.), Con presumes that Pro's intention was to assert the word "kike" as his unsurprising choice for favorite word.

According to Leo Rosten:

The word kike was born on Ellis Island when there were Jewish migrants who were also illiterate (or could not use Latin alphabet letters). When asked to sign the entry-forms with the customary "X", the Jewish immigrants would refuse, because they associated an X with the cross of Christianity. Instead, they drew a circle as the signature on the entry-forms. The Yiddish word for "circle" is kikel (pronounced KY - kel), and for "little circle", kikeleh. Before long the immigration inspectors were calling anyone who signed with an 'O' instead of an 'X' a kikel or kikeleh or kikee or, finally and succinctly, kike.".

Con provulates that Pro has demonstrated the dickishness sufficient to offer "kike" as his favorite word but rlly rlly lacks the academic chops to vibe on some verb Chaucerian.

Con invites Pro to forfeit at leisure.

FF more than half the Rounds... Pro actually won the debate but CoC ties my hands. This is a debate where Con can't win, much like his "I'm gay" one vs his alt Sparrow.

LOL! Nonetheless, CoC supersede logic in this website so I'll respect that.
