The Twitter account of upscale retailer Nordstrom confirmed this weekend that it did not “like” a tweet that claimed the “DS” in “Nintendo DS” stood for “dick suck.”
Another twitter user had reported that the offensive remark appeared in their feed because Nordstrom liked it, but it appears now that this report was itself mistaken. 
“The DS in Nintendo DS stands for Dick Suck,” wrote Nick Wiger, a Twitter japester with 32k followers on the popular social network. “The idea was, playing it was as fun as gettin your dick sucked. 3DS, as fun as 3 dick sucks.”
“Um, this appeared in my feed because @Nordstrom liked it?,” replied Katie Metz of St. Louis, or at least an account using that identity, concluding her tweet with a skeptical frowny face emoji and the hashtags #nordstrom and #fail.
“Sorry for the confusion, Katie,” Nordstrom responded three minutes later. “We can confirm we have not liked this tweet.”
At press time, Twitter had not yet responded to an inquiry concerning why the site was still free.

It’s obvious when comparing an untunable yet adorable craigslist clunker with a high-quality modern piano, but I was surprised to find myself noticing the difference between a $15k grand and a $50k one, too. There was, it must be said, a big difference in age. I wonder how “cheaper” modern Yamahas (the GB1K comes in […]
