25 Who Responded To New York’s New Mayor Eric Adams Calling Workers ‘Low-Skill’

by Lakeisha

Everyone makes verbal mistakes, no one's immune. No matter how much experience a person has with public speaking, they're bound to make mistakes that will probably haunt them for a few years, unfortunately.

There are five different kinds of verbal slip-ups:

  1. Eggcorn (cold slaw instead of coleslaw)
  2. Malapropism (pineapple instead of pinnacle)
  3. Spoonerism (blushing crow instead of crushing blow)
  4. Freudian Slip (as I was telling my husb... instead of as I was telling President Bush)
  5. Mondegreen (very close veins instead of varicose veins)

By the way, before you go searching, let me make it easier. Condoleezza Rice who was once the National Security Advisor to President Bush said, "As I was telling my husb—as I was telling President Bush," at a Washington, D.C., dinner party.

People didn't know how to react, but jaws dropped.

In 1988 then vice-president George H. W. Bush said, "We’ve had triumphs. Made some mistakes. We’ve had some sex... uh... setbacks."

Yes, let that sink in.

A Freudian slip is believed to be linked to the thoughts in our subconscious mind. In simple words, these verbal slip-ups reveal dark secrets and feelings we've locked up in our subconscious minds.

When mayor Eric Adams referred to low-wage workers as 'low-skill', naturally he attracted a lot of criticism. While we're not sure if mayor Eric Adams had a Freudian slip or malapropism, we'll let you decide.

In Summary...

We shouldn't forget that who you refer to as 'low-skill' workers were the ones holding the fort and making sure people had everything they needed during the pandemic outbreak and lockdowns.

Your supermarket shelves were stocked because some low-skill workers knew how important it was to have essential items ready to go. Cooks made sure they had masks on at all times so they could prepare foods on time for people who required them.

When fast food centers were closed during the pandemic, we couldn't wait for them to reopen, so we could taste our favorite foods again. Let's not forget that people you call low-skill were once called essential frontline warriors.

They are essential frontline warriors because, without them, you won't last a minute.
