It takes one to know one.

I gotta tell ya, I have not heard the word 'bossy' in about 15 years or so.

That's was my reaction, too. The last time was probably in the early 70's. of course, maybe if I hung out with Michelle, I'd hear every hour.

Trying to control speech is so gay.

[henkster]

The whole point is to defuse criticism of Hillary.

Next word to be made criminal is "wookie"

The whole point is to defuse criticism of Hillary.

Then shouldn't they be banning the phrase "vindictive, petty, power-mad lesbian bitch"?

Isn`t telling people what they can eat and say BEING bossy??
Ignore these socialist dictators. DISOBEY.

Here is a word for our dear First Lady : “GHETTO”

[Chode]

yes... yes as a matter of fact, IT DOES!!!

[henkster]

Lol. The left takes things one thing at a time, Laz. One thing at a time.

[El Cid]

Fine with me. "bossy" seems a bit effeminate anyways. I'll go with overbearing, jerk, A-hole, Control freak, dictatorial, etc ...
But now that you mention it, if some overbearing jerks are trying to tell me not to use the word "bossy", maybe I'll need to add it to my lexicon...

This is what people worry about? Being called bossy? Liberals are insane. The economy is in the toilet and they are worried about “bossy”?

[piytar]

Hey Sasquach, quit being so bossy. /irony

[tillacum]

Sounds like the “funny” girls don’t want to be known as
bossy, usually when a woman, girl, is bossy they are also
loud and will not listen to reason...’cause they already
know it.

[dsrtsage]

A true leader is never bossy. A bossy person is a bully, not a leader.

[heartwood]

I’m sure the feminists and the educrats will get behind this campaign - which is worthless. Some people are bossy - I tell my 12 y.o. daughter not to be bossy, because that’s one of her faults.

A campaign that might make a difference? Well there is a word that probably did less harm when it was a threatening slur, than now when it has been appropriated as a word of solidarity. But she isn’t touching that one with a ten-foot pole.
