Yet the Left (and even Barack Obama himself) used the homophobic slur “teabagger” to harass members of the Tea Party.
Y’know, that “teabagger” thing bugs me. It’s pretty apparent that people are using it in some sort of sexual reference, but my imagination is apparently not broad enough to know what it means in that context. And no, I’m not googling it. I don’t want to know.
Sometimes ignorance really IS bliss.
On a related noted, when I was 19 I somehow picked up the word “dildo” as the equivalent of “dope” and used it quite a bit until someone told me what it meant - about a year after I started saying it.
