"Queer" used to be forbidden but then the show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" put that taboo to rest.
So it was ok to ask a girl if she had 10 moms because she's Mormon, but not ok to say "that's so gay." That's soooo frickin gay.
That's so gay!
You forgot pillowbiting, hershey highway riding rump rangers.
My 11 year-old son says this all the time. This is ridiculous!
What a totally gay lawsuit. LOL!
Extremely gay, actually, because the offended person who ratted me out regularly ate at the "Y" . . .
But I bet if she had said "that's so queer" she would have still gotten in trouble. Or, "Shut up, fag."
Well, now the word "gay" enters the Pantheon of words one cannot say in America because of the pussification of the nation.
Have you noticed that the word "problem" has just about disappeared(except when you thank someone, the almost universal answer is "no problem" instead of "you're welcome")? "Problem" has now been transformed into the word "issue."
Everyone knows what a "problem" is, but "issue" can mean lots of things.
So, why is the word "problem" avoided at all costs?
Ugh.
Well all the Classical philologists I know are gay or are thinking about it.
Dolph: Oh, man! You kissed a girl!
Jimbo: That is so gay!
What if she had said, innocently, "why, what a queer thing to say!"
Perfectly good use of English.
Because there are no problems, only challenges.
This "no problem" thing is a pet peeve of mine especially in a restaurant or other service setting, where it's usually uttered by some slack-jawed 15 year old who's thought processes have been shorted out by puberty. I want to say "I'm glad I'm not a problem for you." It's a far cry from letting me know I'm welcome to their service, for appropriate remuneration of course.
I like the word "pervert". It's a nice all-around word which can mean 'dirty old man', 'child molester', or 'alternative lifestyler'
No such thing as a "problem."
We have "issues, concerns and opportunities for improvement."
Thank you corporate America. :-)
"So along with the "n" word, we now have a "g" word that dare not be uttered"!
Don't forget the "F" word....Fat! Well, that's what Rosie O'Donnell says the "F" word means at her house! :)
Sexual Deviant has a nice ring to it! Or Jailhole Pirate!
Hate speech that needs to be stamped out?????
What happened to free speech?
IMO, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish remarks are *hate speech*. Now what? Ban everything the self-appointed elite dislike. I hope she wins.
Sounds like you have an issue! ;-P
A problem is something that is wrong - something to be solved. An issue, on the other hand, is something that must be dealt with - and that may actually mean that it must be accepted.
Therefore, all problems became issues - so the person who notices the problem can be forced to accept the situation.
