When people say "That's gay" or "That's retarded".

Neither of them are correct for what people are trying to say and they're offensive.

I second that and want to add when someone says they "jewed something" or got "jewed." It's all just so annoying because it's accepted by so many people as being ok.

Although, I have to admit, if I were a racist/bigot like blue_turnip I'd probably also have a pet peeve towards people who didn't appreciate my douche-baggery too.

That is correct. Providing you meant "racist/(bigot like blue_turnip)" as opposed to "(racist/bigot) like blue_turnip". Because I'm not racist.

Its okay for me to be a bigot though, because I'm always right. its only bad when other people (WRONG people) are bigots :P

Do i ever get annoyed when people look at a pile of shit and go "that is soooo oliver!", or walk up to someone and go "stop acting like that you oliver". No, i don't, and thats why noone ever uses the word 'oliver' in a derogatory sense. Maybe if people grew some balls and stopped whining about using the word 'gay', or finding it offensive, I'd stop using it as well. The word would be useless without the sting.

I have 2 gay friends, and I use that word in a derogatory fashion all the time in front of them (and often to them). The only difference with them is that they have half a brain, and realise I have no beef with their orientation. Because of the above reason, I am starting to get bored of the word with them (and i know they're not pretending they don't care just to get me to stop).

Regardless, I have been thinking of creating a list of offensive words that people don't change my posts for. So feel free to contribute.

This will be my last post about this in the pet peeves forum since we've already derailed the topic enough.

The point is that you're a pussy. You talk about liking to be aggressive and iconoclastic and using words with "sting" because they offend people. Why don't you take what Matt said as a challenge? There's no sting in using gay in a derogatory way, go to any elementary or high school and you'll hear all the kids saying it. That's not iconoclastic, that just being a follower. If you really want something with some sting, why don't you start using the word Matt said instead of gay? That's got some real sting, that would be much more aggressive and iconoclastic. But I already know the answer to that and I started this paragraph with it, it's cause you're a pussy. It's a lot easier to pick on something that everyone else is already picking on and nobody (other than some guys a thousand miles away behind a computer screen) is defending, than it is to offend someone or something that might actually get your ass kicked. Once again, you're a pussy.
Maybe if people grew some balls and stopped whining about using the word 'gay', or finding it offensive, I'd stop using it as well.
Wow, why didn't I ever think of that. People should grow some balls and not stand up for what they believe in, follow the heard, and be quiet.

so you call things gay because people find it offensive? its easy to put up a mask on the interweb and pretend youre some badass that doesnt give a shit, but when it comes down to it... youre pink and stinky



hey sorry reile for saying "jew" or "hes jewish" around you. i guess it had more to do with the stereotype and being offended. from now on i plan on using jackass or fucker in place of racial/religious/sexual comments.

Despite not being one, I can't really prove I'm not a pussy on the internet, so I'll just leave it at that.

I don't get it. If people aren't offended by me using the word 'gay', can you please explain why I'm not allowed to use it?

Since there are a fair few American's on this forum I'll start using that word to insult.

You're so fucking american.

Thats right, be offended you dirty american motherfucker.

I hate it when people use their hands when playing footbag.

And

Give you props when you're clearly frustrated.

And

when people don't care about things. Everyone should care about all.

What a weird topic. Thanks for letting me get that stuff off my chest.

When people have full links in their sigs instead of using words here. It's less ugly when you use the code (less cluttered), and makes it easier to read.

When people in 'quiet study' area of the library have loud, irritating ringtones that go off repeatedly and don't bother to put them on vibrate.
