I was in London last August. While in a bar pounding down beers and talking to my wife I used the word "raped". I young Brit next to me leaned toward me and said "I wouldnt use that word in this country". And he was dead serious.

I asked him, "are your speech police going to come and get me?" He replied, "trust me, don't use that word."

Seems a year later it is all the rage. The guy who warned me probably liked how I used it and ran with it.

‘I was completely raped,’ a cool young Mancunian might remark..

The word isn't just being brought down, it's being used by liberals to hype their victimhood.
