I'm mostly tired of people characterizing any piece of rope with a knot in it as a "noose."

Knot making is becoming a lost art, sadly. Even a slip knot is a noose, now. Next blood knots on your fishing line will be considered nooses.

Technically tying your shoelaces is a hate crime. Unless you do the "two bunny ears" method like I do and then it's just animal cruelty.

Institutional Racism: Over under double knot.

Soft Bigotry: Bunny ears loop.

Problematic: Laces untied.

Liberal Ally: Velcro stra... ORANGE MAN CRITICAL: WAIT A SECOND LOOK AT ALL THESE NOOSES.

I do the one bunny ear, and a double knot. But, the way I do it, my laces can still be undone by pulling on one lace, but you have to pull hard. Works great!

You probably couldn't find 100 people in America under the age of 60 who can even make such a knot.

I imagine most knot tying (outside of boating) was learned from the Boy Scouts, but since that's dead, there probably aren't a lot of people learning knots any longer.

Couldn't lace to save my life until joining Cubs but I was doing half hitch and double half before I knew what they were

I learned to tie a proper noose when I was 11. At church of all places. Part of growing up in the deep south I guess.
