Quick Question

[c9]

How long am I going to have to hear people say, and read posts that use, "fag" and "gay" as non-sexuality-specific adjectives? This sandwich is gay, you're a fag, and so forth. It's really fucking sad, and if I knew when the world was going to grow up, I'd be OK to wait it out.

tagging?

did you know other people can tag your posts for you? this seems a little odd to me...

Re: tagging?

okay, i take that back, you're the only other person's posts who i can tag other than my own. :S

Re: tagging?

I do know that -- it's optional, and I thought it would be fun to setup. Of course, someone will tag something with something annoying someday and I'll turn it off, but hey.

Your post was so gay it's straight again.

[c9.livejournal.com]

I suppose anything's possible...

I'm going to take your comment and put it in what I like to call, a sex swing. I invented it in 1974 after Tipper and I played a particularly frisky game of Twister.

It reconfirms my theory that people are idiots.

I should really sit down and write out my list of words I hate. None are really as objectionable as what you're describing, but as Brian likes to say “you know, words mean stuff”. Top on my list is “girl” in reference to a woman over the age of 18, “bastard” in, really, any context, and pussy to refer to someone as being a wimp.

[cap-hill-latte.livejournal.com]

And by "is" I mean "are". I hate it when I use incorrect grammar.

[leapfish.livejournal.com]

Thank you for touching the bastard subject. I still harbour resentment over that one.

[cap-hill-latte.livejournal.com]

It's just not a word that needs to be used in any context unless one is just trying to be vulgar. In it's "proper" context it's just as bad as any racial slur. In the context of "not a nice person" I personally prefer "ass". With apologies to all of the nice asses I’ve met. (In my head I always think of it as “donkey” though I suppose it’s really short for “asshole”.)

*cough* Jeff. *cough*

Maybe you should see a doctor before you infect everybody on livejournal? That much coughing is umhealthy... ;-)

[leapfish.livejournal.com]

Try something more direct. Um, shut your fucking face, uncle-fucker.

Typical Canadian.

Go eat some Japanese beef. Oh that's right, you can't.

[miket61.livejournal.com]

Mmm... Japanese beef, Cuban cigars, and toilets that use more than two gallons of water per flush... Canada, what a country!

[miket61.livejournal.com]

Well, the rules for toilet capacity in the States are expressed in gallons. Typically, urinals use four litres, regular "commodes" use six litres.

There's actually quite a business in contraband toilets from Canada. My new house was built in 1986, and my mother's in 1988, before the rules changed, which means we will not be changing out our plumbing fixtures any time soon.

LOL, fancy a trip to Cuba? LOL

A girl in my high school class used to respond to sophomoric male antics with the dismissive phrase, "y'all are such fags."

The only humour in this is that the yearbook included a picture of her giving a speech of some sort, and the hand gesture looked like she was saying it. So my very gay friend Kevin drew a speech balloon in more than one copy.

Sometimes a sandwich just likes to be with other sandwiches of the same sex. I don't think you should judge.

[c9.livejournal.com]

But see that's the thing, it's a slippery slope. Pretty soon we'll have gay cats marrying gay sandwiches and the whole of western civilization will just crumble. Reverend Falwell says so.

[nihilicious.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind marrying a gay sandwich right about now, if you know what I'm saying.*




*I don't. Maybe I'm saying I'm hungry?

I don't think I ever heard the word 'fag' or 'gay' used out of context more since I graduated from high school... Before that, I hadn't heard it more since leaving junior high school.
