You know, 20 years ago, someone could have used the word gay in several contexts. Oh and I know women who were actually named Gay. Because people allowed it, the term gay has been hijacked to pretty much exclusively mean liking the same sex. End of story. Too bad—they took the image of rainbows too.
It is because the PC crowd, groups with agendas, and media hijack certain words and make others off-limits that this is allowed to happen...
For example: “n-word”-dly (which actually means stingy) Oh but did you know that?...I bet you thot it is a derogatory term towards African Americans didn’t you?
I looked up the “P-word”/s in the dictionary....Webster’s to be exact. Since 1947 the word was used to mean a wimp or coward. Now the word “pussy” (oooh there I said it) may be construed to be meaner, but it means coward....It is a controversial word because it also is a vulgar term for woman’s anatomy when discussing certain topics, but the word was used by the woman in the crowd as meaning Cruz was a wimp and you know it....
Maybe it is me, but I don’t think the term has jumped to being used exclusively for woman’s anatomy. And I think Webster backs me up because the coward use of the term is not considered archaic yet...(do you know what that means?)
So where are your thoughts and mind??....I didn’t automatically think of a woman’s anatomy when I heard Trump—and I actually was watching it live...
Oh you can be assured that I am not Clintonizing anything. I suggest you get out your dictionary and look it up. Or are you saying Webster was Clintonizing the word since 1947
You must have skimmed the whole etymology part where it said pussy has been used to describe female genitalia since the 1700’s. Well roll me over in the clover, who knew?
I think I should have addressed this to plewis1250.....sorry. Maybe I need a fainting couch! ; )
