"gay"
and
"********"

are just not things I say.

If I do say them, I am talking about an actual homosexual person, or someone who suffers from mental retardation. (I also say ******** to mean "delayed" which is the textbook definition of it. you can "retard" something by slowing it or stopping it, but its very rare I use it in that form either)

Same with me, Sparx. I say gay to mean homosexual. Even when I mean mental retardation, I still usually say mentally challenged though. But I can't say I've never used "retardation" in that sense.

I do use the term "retardation" to mean slow down -- it's a vocabulary word I am associated to with piano.

 

[Princess Ash]

Woops, I say ********...a lot.
Colloquialism...DIE!

And I think they should be called Freedom Fries. That'd be so off-the-deep-end it'd be funny and I think I would actually learn to like it.

 

[Captain Brain]

I only use the word retard when I refer to it in music as ritarando, or when talking about a mentally challenged person.

 

[crazy2beautiful]

At one point I tried to stop saying retard in a negative way...it didn't work.

I have gay friends who say gay to mean stupid.

Political correctness is so ********. I wish people, especially freshmen, would stop referring to it as a holiday tree. You don't call a monora a holiday candle holder do you? BTW, I was talking to my black friends the other day and they agree. Which reminds me, I'm part indian. I'm related to an indian chief actually. I'm also related to hillbillies. I eat plenty of french fries, and I think it's gay that gay people don't like to be called gay. BTW, midgets rule.

...

Kudos to anybody who catches what I was trying to do.

If I say that was homosexual, would I be more politically correct? jk, my indian.

 

[MuNkY]

BTW, the only time I'm politically correct is when I refer to Native Americans.

People, they arn't indian. People from India are indian.

 

[crazy2beautiful]

I get mad when people call Asians "Orientals".
Food and product are oriental.
People are Asian.

 

[DramaQueen]

I'm not one to worry about being politically correct.
If I say something politically incorrect, I'm not doing it purposely to be politically incorrect. I'm not doing it to offend anyone.
People who get offended by political incorrectness need to get over themselves.
Nobody is doing it to offend anyone.
IMHO.

I don't worry about calling black people "african american", beacuse frankly i find that more offensive than calling people black. I wouldn't like being called "african american" if i immigrated from jamaica to canada or something.
there are more places that black people immigrate from than africa!!!

My favorite: holiday candle holder...laughed out loud there. No, it pretty much made my day. For that, I thank you.

Lmao. I remember one day at school we got a new kid and he was Asian. So we had it narrowed down between whether he was Chinese or Japanese, so some kid in our class starts referring to him as "The Asianese kid." It didn't stick once everyone learned his name (David) But its still kind of funny. I thought. *No flames please*

Eh, people used to hear my name and decide to call me Sushi.
They all thought it was hiiiiilarious. They'd laugh and laugh and make fun of me.
Until I punched them suckas in the face.

jk...or am I?

 

[StitchfansJr]

I love running through Wal-Mart and saying, "Mommy! Look at all the CHRISTMAS trees!" and "I love this CHRISTMAS music!!"

I would probably run around looking for Christmas music.

What I hate though is if you listen to Country music you're considered a hillbilly. Uh, no. I wish I had that quote from Jeff Foxworthy last night..Let me see if I can find it.

EDIT: Found it! Click on the last one: http://www.cmt.com/loaded/player.jh...hows/events/cmt_music_awards/2007/&adPN=index
It's somewhere in there...

They are a few things that really get under my skin. Feminism and people taking offense in everything are two (but that's beside the point). Obsession with political correctness is another one.

I love Christmas, and everything that has to do with it. I agree with Billy; I refuse to call it a Holiday Tree.

Women are Women, not Womyn.

They are freshmen.

I can call police officers policemen if I want.

Native Americans can be called Indians.

They're African Americans, but they can be called black, too. And many don't mind when you call them that; heck, many refer to themselves as black.

I can't stand political correctness!

Another thing that I hate is that it's okay for girls to act like stereotypical boys (a.k.a. tomboys), but when a guy is acting like a girl, he's considered gay, a wimp, a pansy, a f*ggot, and all sorts of other unsavory things. I can tell you, I'm kind of a 'girly' boy, and I'm straight as a piece of lined paper. The thing that really irks me is that tomboys are accepted among girls, but most tomgirls (you know what I mean) are pretty much outcasts, like me. I mean, I like video games and sports (though I am really bad at them) and stuff, but I'm more sensitive to a fault than most other boys. People tease me for that; I really hate it!

Sorry about the rant.

 

[Sparx]

Native Americans can be called Indians.

but they're not indians...

I thought about it and Sparx is right.

I was right before.
