Do you use hateful names?

Sooo, turbans = Isis fighters = ragheads? Wow, this is beyond derogatory. I am certain my Sikh friends might have something to say about that prejudicial remark. Also my Muslim friends. As a matter of fact, I own a beautiful silk turban myself. I wear it

with a matching dress. So sad that in the twenty first century this type of profiling still goes on. I am deeply offended to find such remarks posted on this forum.

Agree!!!
 
This is a tough crowd.

The worst I've ever said or thought has been "Heavens to Betsy", and even then I felt bad for saying it.
 

I call people names all the my favorite one starts the word dumb followed by a word that starts with an f and ends with a r. It seems to fit most situations.
 
Gail, funny you mention that. I have a real eclectic mix of music on my IPod. Anyone looking at me walking the pups late night probably sees petite senior...only things a bit off kilter is the serious looking profile on the back of my jacket and the equally serious dog at the end of the leash.

But one of my favorite modern singers is Macklemore..."Thrift Shop", funny and crass as all get out...but you know from appearances people think I'm listening to Adele.

Gail, I know that term well -- sometimes I preface it with a word meaning "female parent." Quite satisfying to holler that (with my windows tightly rolled up, of course).
 
Everybody in Florida came from somewhere else and brought their bad elsewhere habits with them.

You are accomplished when you can cuss for 10 minutes without repeating yourself. Being a linguist helps, so does having been a sailor.
 
So true Linda. Not long ago women were considered to be fragile, illogical, helpless creatures, clearly inferior to men. We still battle for parity. Hmmm. Typecasting is clearly more of an indictment against the person pointing fingers, than those being

profiled. An old therapist saying goes, always remember, that any diagnosis tells more about the person making it than the diagnosee.
 
Funny that I used to have a boss who was not the most pleasant guy. Eventually I got to know him better and he actually had a kind side hiding in there. He just hated his job and hated his life...he cursed everyone...customers and employees alike...in Arabic. After while you learned some of it phonetically. It was fortunate the customers were clueless.
 
NO, NEVER! However, I have been the recipient of plenty.
