Why aren't all the new shows on? I'm so sick of reruns. And The Simpsons was only meh tonight.
I'm open to suggestion as to what will get the same feeling across without it being something anyone would find offensive.
Wimps? Wussies?
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
'wimps'?
eta: x-post.
Also, what is the etymology of 'wuss'?

Since wimps seems to get good air play, I will go change it. Thanks!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
But then, I was attempting to be a tad sarcastic and I don't think someone who likes the same sex is a pansy at all.
Pansy has been used as a pejorative to describe gay men for at least a century (see: queercore band "Pansy Division"), which is why it pinged my radar.

queercore
I just saw this word for the first time today. Could you tell me what it means? I think I get it from context, but I'm not sure.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sitting quietly in Sail's corner, wondering why all the hot men are on my tv and not in my actual life. There's only been one guy I've crushed on in years, and he doesn't even deserve me.

The suffix -core comes from "hardcore" and when added to a musical genre implies that it's a hardcore punk flavor of said genre.
So, emocore is emo music played loud, fast and harsh. And queercore is a gay band playing music loud, hard, and fast.
Or what Plei said in four words where I took 40.

Thanks, Plei. I saw Allyson use it earlier and then when you used it, I had to find out what it was. I'm afraid it's totally outside my radar, musically. I'm pretty much a top 40 listener on the radio. At home, it's a mix of jazz, blues, soundtracks and world music.
