Effing five year old calling everything "gay".
This breaks my heart.
Err...That was a joke. Emeline does not call anything or anyone "gay".
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.
'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Actually, I mostly use "crazy" to refer to ideas, not people.
I'm not sure of the breakdown, but I use it to refer to ideas, people, events, experiences, fun times, and taxis.
'spaz'
Man, everything I say is offensive. I guess that's derived from...spastic? Geez, Snyder.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Oh thank God. I was ready to cry thinking of my future 5 year old dealing with that. Sorry for not getting it.

I'm just trying to protect my peeps, you know?
Hee. Yeah. The Girl knew nothing about disability rights four years ago. Then she met me. Now she's a great activist. Sweet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I never use the word "cocksucker." To me, it carries that "being a gay man is bad because it's like being a woman" baggage....

I guess since it's exclusively marketed to women, it feels to me like another slam against us. I try to keep my insults gender-neutral, like asshole, shitheel, fuckhead, etc.
my favorite is jackhole. Technically neutral, but everyone knows what it means.

If you don't know the link over there, I guess it's not such a big deal. Over here, we're aware of where it came from - since it's recent, I suppose.
In other words: Hey. I'm not trying to stop people saying what they want to. I'm just saying what I find difficult to take. I used to teach linguistics. I'm careful with words.

I looked it up on Wikipedia and, yeah, there's a lot about how it's much more offensive over there than here.

One of Em's teacher's is gay and one of her classmates (and fellow Daisy Scout) has two mommies. If it was used a pejorative in her class by anyone, I'm sure it would get kiboshed really quick.
She was so cute the other day - we were taking a walk after dark and she was wishing on the stars and she wished for "two mommy unicorns and lots of unicorn babies". I asked her why two mommy unicorns and she said, in that 5-year-old-exasperated-why-don't-you-get-this-mom?-way, "So they can be together and have their babies."
