The Picard ManeuverMake it stop.
FozzyOsbourneDon’t pretend you didn’t become obsessed with whatever cool new slang was flavour of the month when you were a child
PloppI don’t remember getting any new slang as a kid.
Track_ShovelYeah, we just called people fags (sorry) or gay.
90s and early 00s were N O T LGBT friendly
Don’t forget how casual the r word was. Every comedy of the 90s and 2000s called somebody that.
not to mention the casual use of the hard R. even Linus from LTT admitted to have dropped his fair share of hard Rs back then.
ddittyYeah my friends and I unfortunately used it when we were in grade school and it was so commonplace. Then I didn’t use it for probably the last 17+ years, but now it seems like it’s making somewhat of a resurgence? I’m hearing it more often again which is totally inappropriate
Plus there was a lot of n*rcissist thrown around back then
Ok now THAT’S a weird one to censor.
Yeah unless that n is the n-word I don’t get the censoring.
I censored it because it’s a bad word. A slur against people with disabilities.
What’s the r-word?
“retarded”
Oh. I know it’s not a nice word but didn’t think it was bad enough to include on the same level as the n-word. Times do change I guess
It’s a weird one. “Retard” is a technical term, jargon. It became a perjorative term.
Unlike the n-word that was always a pejorative.
Companies 12 hours after June ends
“PRIIIIIDE 🏳️🌈”
next day
“So you fags wanna buy our products or what”
We had a couple weeks calling people “F.A.G.s’ and “M.A.G.s” for 'female ass grabber” and “male ass grabber”. As in someone how grabd a females ass or or a male ass. I have no idea how the teachers were able to do anything about that with a straight face.
danfags
This is what we called cigarettes in Australia.
Same in Britain. Damn homophobia ruining perfectly good slang!
