I have not managed to fully shake use of the insult "retarded" and will occasionally still use it in certain company.

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This is, for me, the problem with the casual use. You don't even realize what you are saying. And what it means. It happens to me sometimes too. Generally followed by a feeling of horror at what I just said.

Note on lower back as tattoo location. I know a very pretty 45 year old who got a butterfly tattoo at 20. She says she needs to get it seriously modified (not just retouched which she has done on occasion) because it now looks more like a vulture than a butterfly.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In Scots vernacular it is referred to as a semmit,[2] and as a singlet in Australia and New Zealand.
Ah! I'd been wondering if they were just the same thing.
I'm glad you're now tubeless, Drew.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
