That was my reaction too.
Seriously, do you know the difference between regular and vampire fleshlights?

Okay, that was right out of the blue... But yeah, let's hear the new guy/gal/whatsit out.
He has a major rep at school.
Nope.
Honestly, I don't care. That instantly flips my bitch switch. If you can't think of a better descriptor for something stupid, it may be time to reevaluate your mindset. I for the same reason try to avoid the word retarded in the pejorative. I don't always succeed, but I try. It's also one of those things that instantly makes you sound like a moron.
I'll even make it easy for people:
Synonyms: brainless, dazed, deficient, dense, dim, doltish, dopey, dull, dumb, dummy*, foolish, futile, gullible, half-baked, half-witted, idiotic, ill-advised, imbecilic, inane, indiscreet, insensate, irrelevant, laughable, loser*, ludicrous, meaningless, mindless, moronic, naive, nonsensical, obtuse, out to lunch, pointless, puerile, rash, senseless, shortsighted, simple, simpleminded, slow, sluggish, stolid, stupefied, thick, thick-headed, trivial, unintelligent, unthinking, witless

Though in the interest of promoting intelligence over ignorance, if he is a teenager, it might be best to tell him why what he said was wrong. Having known teenagers, you'd be amazed the things they're unaware of.
Yeah, I'm having fun messing with screencaps. Though most of all I love that face. Look at him. So perplexed. Pixar animators are fucking awesome. I probably would've liked the movie, but then never thought about it again if the CGI characters hadn't been so compelling.
I mean PONIES DAMMIT GOTTA TALK ABOUT DEM PONIES.
Goddard brought Binet's intelligence test to the U.S. and began applying it to children here. Of course, it was originally written for French children, so the children didn't fare very well. What resulted was a horrible sequence of events that resulted in sterilizing the mentally retarded and essentially closing the gates on 80% of the immigrants coming through Ellis Island because they too could not pass the translated intelligence test. In the course of these events, Goddard invented the word moron to refer to people who scored below a 70 IQ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moron_(psychology)

M'bad, missed that part.

In Newfoundland the word 'fag' is used quite a lot. People from the mainland and other places (other than Britain) took offense.
Thing is, fag doesn't mean here what it means in others places. It means 'foolish' or 'dumb'. It wasn't until these people from outside the province started running commercials and articles and talking to kids about it in school that it started meaning homosexual.
It was then that is became truely derogative and the gay kids in school started getting teased and mocked for something they didn't do: taking away language.
Then the same thing happened to "retarded" shortly after.
It's such a complicated issue. I don't use the word fag...I do say retarded in spite of my better judgement though.
All these years, I have wondered if these 'betterment initiatives' cause more problems then changes.

That reminds of when I moved to London from Maryland, back when I was 15. "Fag" was (and as far as I'm aware, still is) used to refer to cigarettes in the UK, but I didn't know that at first. I was used to it meaning homosexual, which was how it was used in the States.
Imagine my bewilderment when, one day during lunch break, a classmate nudged me and pointed out two other classmates sneaking away to a hidden corner of the schoolyard, "Look at them, they're off to have a fag."

Freaks.
Why won't this thread die!?
All right, what we need is something incredibly offensive that will spew a huge argument and gets the thread locked up.
Fact: Tilapia is a more delicious seafood to eat than lobster.

Why is a fish that lives in fresh water, considered Sea Food?

There can be a fresh water sea.
I am sick of this Tilapia vs. Lobster debate. You people make me sick. You whine on and on about your delicious fish or your delectable crustacean when you ignore the real issue. Shrimp (or prawns for some folks) are the greatest food to come out of the ocean. Fry those bad boys up and you have the food of the gods.
Anyone who disagrees with my views is wrong and awful and needs to go die in a fire kthnxbai.
Maybe that will do the trick?

This is a generational thing. The current "foolish or dumb" usage evolved from using it as an insult. IE, you're so gay, being gay is a horrible thing, therefore calling you gay means that you are inferior. It is the same way that retarded developed as a descriptor.
Oh HELL no, you honey-sucking kodiak! You did not just bring shrimp into the argument! They're worse than lobster, having to crack open the shells and shit.
Shrimp is bad and you should feel bad for liking it!
