(Because I'm sure you know about 'Tegridy Farms' from SOUTH PARK) ... in fact, I couldn't find the above logo on Bing Images—when I searched there, 'the closest thing I could find' was the SOUTH PARK farm's logo, which–as you can see–looks pretty-much the same:
Where did 'that word' come from? Is it (below-hyperlinked to the Oklahoma City cannabis-dispensary) built on an even-deeper source—something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands?
The word “Tegridy” is ... not widely known—it's a new slang-term, the American Southerner's way of pronouncing "Integrity." (especially in the phrase 'Lacking Integrity (spoken Lackin`Tegridy—actually, another 'blankckin`tegrity,' but ... we're being "civil," people!)), as demonstrated in the video below.
The word "Integrity" is built on words that mean "Whole (Integer)" (Blamelessness, Correctness, Purity, Completeness, Soundness, Chastity).
That–I find out–is a direct parody of the below 'short' by MedMen (and no, not Mad Men (the AMC drama)), Spike Jonze & Jesse Williams ...
... hmm ... Marijuana Moment traces the name back to a SOUTH PARK-episode, and mentions a couple of farms that were registered under "Tegridy Farms LLC" since then (though it's not clear if those are independent entities or taken by SOUTH PARK creators—the way they bought lots of inactive-domain-names associated with 'Tegridy,' like "Catotonic Tegridy Bud.")
But who coined 'Tegridy' in connection with
cannabis?
Can you tell me more about the roots of 'Tegridy'
in the comments below? Thanks!
cannabis?
I 'asked The Internet' (under a slightly-different search than the one hyperlinked), and it gave me:
- a Wikipedia page on SOUTH PARK's Tegridy Farms
- the Drugs.com approval-history of a constipation-drug
- the website of a towing service
- access to lecture series at Cleveland State University
- ... along with lots of other "Wiki"s & blogs & sites about SOUTH PARK's Tegridy Farms (repeating the idea that it's 'the (U.S.) Southerners' way to say "Integrity")
