Word are really important today.  There are even words you can't say.  Today I learned a new word you can't say.  The H word.  So we have:

The N word.
The C word.
The B word.
The F word.
The MF word.
The GD word.
And now the H word.  Thank you Mr. Imus, whoever the bloody hell you are.  (there's probably more but words are hard)

Of course, the N word is the one you can't say the most.  Unless you are an N.  Even then, you have rules.  You can't just say, "YOU N!"  You have to phrase it properly.  "Yo.  My N.  Wazup?"  You have to also do the special, sekret arm and hand motions that accompany using the N word.

Anyway, not long ago I received an invite to a budding rap artists myspace page.  (even though all I have is a log in and no actual page myself)  Somehow, I've been embraced by the N community.  Which is very, very nice, I must say!  All of his friends call each other N words and H words and MF words.  They have pictures of themselves flashing shiny gold teeth and using the special body language.  I'm thinking of accepting the offer because then I can say the N word in public.  Right?

PS  If you know the name of any super cool hip hop/rap artists who aren't white or British, please tell me.  I don't seem to know any.  Also... don't bother complaining.  I've already reported myself for this post via PM since you can't report your own crap.

 :|

This will go well. 

I stopped watching the TV before I learned what the H word was. Comeon, fill me in, I need something new.

Edit: Which C are you talking about? The friendly term for a Chinese person or What most women under the age of 21 turn out to be?

(http://www.southernobserver.com/images/hoe.jpg)

I can say the C word because I've been embraced by that community.  Err... not in a pervy way.  I don't know the friendly term for a Chinese person!  I call them Chinese people! 

You can't turn a Hoe into a house wife, Hoes don't act right. There's Hoe's on a mission and there's Hoe's on a crack pipe.

I thought cunt was the c word.

I thought hoe's were generally in the garden or the shed.

There is also the D word.

In Portland those ladies already own the D word. LArgest population in the US per capita!

You can't call a woman a hoe anymore? WTF

D word?  What?  What the F word is the D word?

This thread fails to deliver, jew nigger chink honkeys.

Bulbous bouffant!

Heh, that was on the Daily show a little while ago. (http://www.devilducky.com/media/59858/)

That was on last week, IIRC -- one of the funniest shorts I saw recently.

Me.

I thought it was Ironwood.  :evil:

My Hump.

This shit's bananas.

That was truly one of the funniest fucking shorts I'd ever seen. Larry Wilmore and John Oliver fucking rule.

Also, Imus getting suspended for 2 weeks for calling some tattoeed chicks on the LaCrosse team a bunch of nappy-headed hoe's. I can see where people would be offended, but /meh.

Dorky?  Me too!

That's why we love you!

I don't like threads that require me to think a lot.

But you have a sparkly metallic brain.  You should love thinking!

Boondocks is going to get me into trouble someday.

But you'll have to pry motherfucker from my cold, dead hands.

On a quasi-serious note, the word that my circle of friends is having trouble with is Gay. I'm in my mid thirties, and I have to admit, perceptions and attitudes have changed quite a bit since I was in highschool. Gay was, and still is, a very widely used term to mean anything undesirable. "That's totally gay."

Now normally I'm the last guy to give two shits about political correctness, but one of my best friends married a girl from the San Fran area and she moved up here with him. She was, to say the least, rather shocked at how often we used Gay as a derogatory word. It wasn't intentional - I don't have any close gay friends, but do have good relationships with friends of friends and coworkers that are openly gay. It's just a word that we've always used that way.

So, for the sake of friend, we are trying to stop. It's fucking hard. You don't realize how deeply words can get ingrained in to your speech patterns. It's gay.

I can't think of a single word or piece of slang that offends me. Not even "dead-sea pedestrian."

Have kids. You learn REALLLY fast what your most popular "Oh I should stop saying that" words are when they start to talk.  Damn little mental sponges.

You wanna fight, nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggggah?

WTF does that mean?

Jew? Possibly Salty Jew?

what's with the pedestrian part? That's pretty obscure.

Walking across it.  Moses and all.

40 years...desert...crack a freaking Bible once in a while, heathen.

I thought you discarded that whole old testament thing when there was a new king in town.

Nah, very solid book. Good stuff, lots of good lessons. Moses gets hosed, David screws around then writes songs, Job, etc. It's worth reading for the literary value and allusions alone.

That was awesome.

See, the real benefit to reading the Bible is that you will suddenly get all the references that people drop.  Not reading it is like being the one guy who has never seen The Simpsons and wondering why "I'm cuckoo for contraband" makes the group laugh.

Or they just make it up on their own.  My two year old went on a "easter cunt" last weekend.  At least, so she informed me on the way to an Easter Egg Hunt at church.  Repeatedly.  As in, in the car and on the way to.

Warning: MUCH ANGRY



Jesus Christ this circus makes me angry.

You look like you fell face first into a gravel driveway, you cunt. You ARE a nappy headed ho.

It was a fucking old man who thought it'd be funny to call to call the bulldogs that make up the Rutger's team "nappy headed hos" because, HEY, IT'S AN OLD WHITE MAN IN A COWBOY HAT USING OLD SLANG. It WAS funny, he should NOT have apologized, and Al Sharpton needs to be fired out of a cannon into the sun for being a retarded race-baiting piece of shit. How can anyone listen to that asshole after Tawana Brawley I don't know.

Urrgggh. Since yesterday I've made it a point to use the word "ho" every time I get the chance to use it in even a mildly amusing manner. Jesus, let's ruin a multi-decade career for use of a word that ISN'T nigger, nor a racial slur at ALL.

Her hair doesn't look nappy to me.

Did to me in the much higher res version I saw earlier today.

(http://www.bluecorncomics.com/pics/outkast2.jpg)

My dad is a freak for Imus. He's been pretty pissed.


Can't say I care for Imus' comments though --- But he's hardly racist. He's had a variety of guests on his show that no one could possibly classify as typical "redneck" stuff. The cowboy hat is just his clothing style -- He's more of an old rock disc jockey. Not a hillbilly. Many of his recurring guests are black.  Bill Russell and Suge Knight, for example (well, at least Suge used to be on) -- and those guys are his friends. Not just guests. And politically speaking, he gives a lot of airtime to moderates and liberals, and insults everyone else (he hates the Clintons though).

My friends and I at work were looking at this team today on their website. They've got a hot chick - who we knew would be hot when we saw her last name. Zurich.

And they've got this other chick who we made fun of before we even opened her profile. Who isn't gonna make fun of someone named Epiphanny.

Goddamn. It's still funny. Best part is her parents have normal names. They gave Epiphanny a sibling who i think was named Epeen.

And to be honest, he should've replaced "Ho" with something else. The last thing I think of when I think Women's Basketball is Ho. But of course, I'm talking about the accuracy of the insult here.

Racist though? Maybe. Nappy? Definately.

That would probably be a frighteningly witty put down if it wasn't for the fact that I'm not really following Signe at all in this thread and I'm confused what words are what.

Further, I wouldn't be terribly annoyed at someone not knowing Dead-Sea Pedestrian from the Bible, but you should be stoned for not catching the reference from Monty Python.  Even, and I want to make this really clear, they do say Jehovah.

Just out of curiosity, what is the biblical punishment for people in a cube farm that eat with their mouth open and slurp their drinks?

Nothing like a quiet, peaceful work environment with some assholes "crunch, slurp, Mm, slurp, chomp, smack" echoing around.  If I cut out his heart and offer it up to god do you think the big man would step in with the authorities for me?

What I don't get is why Imus gets all this heat for saying "nappy-headed ho" and yet the entire brown-hating anti-immigration/national security screeds that O'Reilly and Buchanan have been giving for years gets completely ignored. Is it just because Buchanan is irrelevant and O'Reilly is on the Anti-Brown channel?

This week on the hit show "Who Gives A Fuck?": guest star Don Who?

Seriously, did a helicopter just get shot down or something. Oh wait, never mind.

Argh.

http://osteele.com/words/aargh

I think they'd probably sew your mouth shut for a week so you could fast for God and think about what you did.

OIC.  You must be another one of those heathen open mouthed chewers.  No sane, rational god could possibly stand idly by while the instrument of his rightful vengeance was so accosted by secular powers.

After you tear his heart out, make sure you make loud smacking sounds as you eat it and annoying slurping sounds as you lap up the blood.

Then laugh heartily.

OK, MSNBC pulled him.

Now I'm kind of pissed. That shit isn't right. People are turning Don Imus into a poster boy for the KKK, and he isn't even close. As I said, he's had plenty of black guests and friends on his show. And the guy is far from being just a general scumbag -- He literally turned his own home into a camp for children with cancer i.e. he spends millions of dollars and hundreds of hours treating sick kids and letting them have fun on his ranch. Most of the time, he just broadcasts from there. Everyone who is calling for blood doesn't know what he's about.

Even with the comment he made, it still isn't racist. It's just cranky grumbling from an old fart, about a fucking SPORTS TEAM of all things. Crude, but not racist.

Worst yet, Snoop Dog of all people is defending his use of the word "Ho" against Imus now -- Because his use of it isn't "racist". WTF?

(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4533/imusonionia3.jpg) (http://www.theonion.com/content/amvo/imus_suspended_for_2_weeks)

Maybe he's not a bad person.  Yes he has some history of off-color remarks that both defines and restricts his act.  I don't know if he deserves a slap on the wrist, to lose his job, or for people to back him up.

I just can't find myself to have a lot of sympathy though.  If you say something moronic or hurtful in a very public forum, you should expect someone at some point to call you on it and for that to have consequences.

It's not like he only made a general remark.  He commented on a team and individual players.  It was stupid for him to go there whether it was heartfelt or for laughs.

And I repeat, he said what he said, offensive and well, really stupid as it was. He's called a racist and had his show pulled thanks to advertisers getting scared shitless (and who scared them? The media).

And yet O'Reilly's constant barely-concealed racism is broadcast every night to great ratings. I can only assume his advertisers are complete cracker racist shitbags too. I need to find out who his advertisers are.

Sol I'm not allowed to use the word "Ho" now, or just not in reference to non-white folks? I'm confused.

And how does this apply to use of the word, "Bitches?"

Yes, it might be the addition of "Nappy-headed" that made it the slur, however everyone seems focused on the word, "Ho," instead.

You're free to use whatever words you want.  Just don't be surprised if someone smacks you for it at some point.

He also did not stop at the "Nappy headed hos" comment.  He went on about the team and individual players at some length.  Had he left it at only that comment this whole thing might have been ignored, or at least not quite as much play as it did.

O'reilly, Michael Savage, there are plenty of people who say things they shouldn't.  Maybe one day it'll come back to bite them, too.  Who knows?  As a friend said though, the people with a problem this time did it the right way.  They got the advertisers to pull funding and that is ultimately what determines his fate.  If others could mount the same kind of campaign against other people's sponsors then more power to them.

Again, who gives a shit? The guy's job is to say spicy things to get listeners to sell advertising. Reminds me of an old Howard Stern commercial. The majority of Stern fans said they listened to "see what he'd say next." The majority of Stern haters said they listened to "see what he'd say next."

Where's the public outrage about the god hates fags guy, or any politician that votes against gay rights? Actions speak louder than words, and stifling someone's opinion, ESPECIALLY if you find it offensive is, well, offensive. This is America. Land of the free, home of the brave.

Somewhere along the way it seems to have morphed into Land of the safe, home of the coddled. Give me liberty or give me death, you nappy headed hoes.

Actually, I think the fury over this issue is quite justified.

But I admit to no explanation.

I bet Imus could get a job on satellite radio.  Isn't that where shock jocks go to die?

Opie and Anthony are doing pretty good, but then again, they're being simulcast on FM too. They're killing in some markets and doing shitty in some (Chicago for one. Chicago just doesn't like anything that isn't local).

Stern however, yeah, not so good. Piles of money for no FM simulcast and airtime on the least successful of the 2 satellite services.

Because gay is still something that society views as "icky" and "not in my world."  The gay rights activists also don't resort to whining like little bitches everytime someone uses the word fag (most often it would depend on context).  There is no equivalent Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson in the gay political community that I know of (one that cries foul regardless of origin and causes a massive media stir).  If there is, they aren't doing their job ;-)

Since when?  Coddled and safe is it.  Can't let someone get offended!  Think of the children!

Where's the public outcry against the whore that falsely accused the Duke LaCrosse team of raping her? Those guys lives are ruined.

Oh yeah, that's right.

She's black.  They're white.

Nobody cares.

Geez, first Furiously and now SnakeCharmer!  What's with the baby avatar cutage going on here.  I REFUSE TO ALLOW YOU PEOPLE TO MAKE ME BROODY!

(http://uglyoftheday.com/files/images/frankenBaby.jpg)

WTF IS THAT?!?!?!

Chucky's baby. 

We told you that you drank too much to breed.. you didn't listen, you didn't listen!

So... on his way to the meeting with Imus, the governor of NJ has a car accident and he's in critical but stable condition.  They did mention it in passing on CNN yesterday but mostly brushed it off, not even mentioning he was critical, just that he was in surgery.  Of course, who can blame them?  Nothing is more important than the Imus news.  I like how the cameraman kept zooming in to try and peek in the windows.  I was hoping he'd catch some woman sitting on the crapper or something and get sacked, arrested and put on the sex offender's database.

We should all care about Imus destroying those poor girls lives.

etc ad nauseum

The mainstream tv media is dead. It's Entertainment Tonight.

They bothered to post news on something else?

Yeah, pretty disgusting that news of Gov. Corzine gets overshadowed by some guy on the radio calling some girls bad names.

One could very well have far-reaching effects within the troubled state of NJ, while the other means jack and shit.

Jesus, where the fuck did these people go to school to learn journalism, Hamburger University?

I like how people keep talking about Howard Stern when his audience is a tiny fraction of what it used to be and how he's doing nothing interesting.

Does the news just hate O&A or something? They've got more listeners than Howard right now, and were the first Satellite show to simulcast on FM.

It'll be interesting to see what Corzine has to say when he's out of the hospital. If nothing else, I suspect he'll start pushing stricter enforcement of seat-belt laws. He's lucky to be alive -- and given the rehab he's got ahead of him, I suspect he'll be furious at himself for not wearing one.

I've met a few people who had a serious accident and weren't wearing a seat-belt. Each and every one of them belts up even if they're just moving the car to the other side of the driveway.

Don't try and derail this important civil rights debate onto trivial matters like the well being of some minor politician in a backwater state. Don't you know that these iconic athletes have had their lives torn asunder? They're deeply emotionally scarred, and the taxpayer is going to have to shoulder the burden of expensive psychiatric care for the rest of their natural lives. Don Imus must pay in blood for his vicious and barbaric use of common hip-hop vernacular. It's not enough to simply sack him.

Yes, then they accepted his apology.  It's fun to watch when the news media gets so bored it starts eating itself.

The term in "Nappy Headed Hoes," that is specifically racist is the "Nappy" portion.  The origins of that term stem from whites defining the tight curls in Black People's hair.  Since that was nearly unique to the race, they all knew what they were referring to when they said "Nappy Head."  The link Imus made is obvious.  They went on to joke about Spike Lee's movie and how they looked familiar to the girls in some of the sororities. 

Their discussion basically was about how well these girls fit into the black stereotype visually.  If a black person had said these things, it would have been accepted by the black community.  Once a white person does it, it is not.  Mainly the issue comes from the fact that he's saying, in essence, "Hey my ancestors came up with these great stereotypes about your people, and look at just how well it describes you! Ha Ha!"

If a black person jokes about it, it becomes, "Ha, look at how well these girls fit into the White man's description of us!"

Now, at what point do we stop having to pay for what our ancestors did and joke with them together, I have no idea, but that is the difference that I can see.  I can see why Imus was smacked on this.  Lose his job?  That may be too much since it is his job to be mean.  Slapped for it, sure.

I really dislike these types of radio/TV shows anyway, so I'm obviously a bit biased.

A question I ask myself from time to time ...

Shit, they aren't my ancestors. I'm just waiting for the rest of the white fuckers around here to stop feeling guilty.

Shut your hole, Nazi!  :-D


I kid.

A nap is a tight fuzzy curl.  Guess what?  If you got nappy hair you got nappy hair.  Whining about it doesn't do you any good it's still and apt descriptor.

I don't care that Imus lost his job.  If people get upset and demand that sponsors ditch his show and his bosses decide to sack him, well... ok.  However, they hide behind a psuedo moral wall by claiming it was the "right thing to do."  If those sponsors hadn't pulled out and Imus was still making them tons of money, I bet they would have supported him and merely apologised to people who were offended.  Maybe I'm just cynical.  It also bothers me a bit when people such as Al Sharpton and loads of others suck up hundreds of hours of media time pouncing on what ever they think might boost their career.  I just get the feeling it's a personal agenda to a large degree.  That might also be my cynical side coming out.  I'm not overly bothered by it all, though.  I've always thought that sometimes things we see as being unjust are responsible for other things evening out.  Sort of like how affirmative action, which can be unfair to some people, give a boost to other's who had little chance at the same opportunity.  Eventually, affirmative action schemes will become unnecessary... maybe they are already.  I'm not sure. 

What does worry me, however, is the fools in government who will try and legislate due to the media circus.  This is the sort of thing that political opportunists will pounce on to make a name for themselves in spite of the damage to our constitutional freedoms it would cause. 

Posting as Signe now Righ?  Her last few posts have all been kind of out of character.

No!  It's really me!  Geez... Will I have to post hobbit pr0n to prove it?

No.  Did you stop smoking again or something?

Signe is expressing sincere opinions on matters of national interest. Well, that has to stop. She must return to the chipper care-free pixie that flits about f13 like a teenage boy's fantasy. She's probably gotten into some women's lit club or some such. Dangerous, I say, dangerous!

I have not smoked a cigarette since May 17, 2005.  And if people continue to fuss at me for posting relevant stuff, I will squash you with my fat arse IQ. (http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/bitch.gif)

What ever happened to just shrugging shit off? I mean, who really cares what Imus has to say, especially about a girls' basketball team? His opinion is just totally irrelevant, so if I were them, I'd simply ignore him.

That stopped when we gave people that weren't landowners the vote.

I don't know what that means!

Some sort of reference to 300.

OMG.  I read that word as "lawnmowers" and not "landowners"... d'oh!

It was a reference to the early creation of America. We've never shrugged shit off here. There's always some group screaming about something being a moral sewer.

EDIT: Yes, not lawnmowers.

Dick.

She can post however she wants but if you didn't notice she has close to 9000 other posts that aren't at all similar.  I thought it was Righ on the wrong account so fucking sue me Mr. Defender of People who don't need Defending.

I laughed.  Super.

@Der Helm: We are in it for the long haul, apparently.

Dude, chill out. It wasn't even directed at you. I was poking fun at her by launching off your post, but I didn't and don't pretend to know what your personal motives were for confusing Signe with Righ. Way to turn a light hearted jab into something angsty and grotesque.

I DON'T HAVE ALMOST 9000 POSTS I HAVE ALMOST 8000 POSTS DON'T MAKE ME KICK YOUR ASSES DAMMIT.

Signe makes me chuckle even if she's angry. Because it's an odd kind of angry. Like angry kittens. Sure they are pissed but it's still humorous.

Like a cat that tries to attack you, but has no claws?

You guys apparently don't remember when she quit smoking.


The horror.

The horror.

How about German Oven Mitt?

I knew I'd been sitting on this link (http://www.rsdb.org/) for a reason.  Finally it comes in handy.

Interesting.  :-D

Danish people have a slur for Norwegians.  Mountain Monkey! 

Cool.

There's even a slur for people from Finland.  I wish I knew someone from there.   :-D

Bosstard and Masshole have always been my favorites from the non-racial, geographic slurs.

I was once called a "slanted eye rice cooker" when I was a kid. Needless to say, but my left pinky nail doesn't grow right to this day because I pounded the other kid's head so hard (and didn't know how to punch right at that).

In retrospect though, it's a pretty funny slur.


The non slanted eye rice cooker part of me is Norwegian too (part Danish as well). Yay me. Slanted eye rice cooking mountain monkey ftw.

So I guess I could be a 51st Stater Adolf Alcoholic Beaver-Beater Bic-Needer Big Mac Buk-Buk Caber Tosser Carrot Top Cocks Coconut Nigger Uda...

Or something. That list is very long.

I thought you were just a Dago/Guinea/Greaseball.

Not in the least. 0%

The only insult I can find for Danish people is "Butter Cookie"... how is that even mean?

I guess the racial slur for me would be Wopegian.

I must have read too much into that whole "Roma" thing.  8-)



Hah, I love that.

That sounds more like a term of endearment.

F13 will truly arrive as the most awesome forum ever once we all are assigned fitting racial slurs other than "Foozle".

That sounds like a great project for Trippy, a nice drop-down menu where we can choose our racial slur in our profiles.

Make mine Guido please. TY.

I'll settle for Cracker-ass-cracker-ass-cracker.

I was thinking we could use that flash site to make an electric-shakey catass intro, sprinkled with some blinking crotchpheasant.  It would help everyone know that they should expect to be visually raped here.

As my girlfriend likes to say, I amuse myself. I often break out in laughter at a joke in my mind.

A few summers ago I was at a friend's campsite. I was holding a beer standing at a pot of salt potatoes. I stood there with a potato on a fork in one hand, a beer in the other. I broke out laughing at myself, being very Irish.

So beer-totin' potato monkey would suit me ok.

Just call me Blue-Eyed Devil.

I can't come up with a racial slur offensive enough to be funny.

The danish guys in my Eve corp get ragged on for having wooden shoes. No real good term for it though, sorry :)

I'm gonna start calling danish people "clogs."

Now I just have to find some Danes.

/raises hand

I like to call myself a mutt, but I have more Danish than anything else.

Damn Butter Cookie.

This is just a totally useless insult.

I think Stray should be grief titled "Butter Cookie".

/Rasixed

I have a Danish friend and he loves his clogs, too.

Are Danish people from the Netherlands or Holland?  I just can't sort out that part of the world in my mind.

The Danish are folks from Denmark. 

You're thinking of the Dutch people, Yegolev.  They are more stoned.  Danish people are buttery-er and sometimes have icing.

The Danish is breakfast.

My ancestors on my Dad's side were tall guys who guarded the king of Denmark or something. And they all resembled Lee Marvin.

[EDIT]

I had the strange desire to look up Lee Marvin after typing that. Then ran across something weird. Apparently, Jim Jarmusch started a "secret society" called the "Sons of Lee Marvin" for Lee Marvin look-a-alikes. Members include Jim, Tom Waits, Thurston Moore, Iggy Pop, and Nick Cave.

(http://www.born-today.com/Today/pix/marvin_lee.jpg) (http://www.sequenza21.com/uploaded_images/allshookdown-0221-721737.jpg) (http://images.salon.com/march97/sharps/cave970319.gif)

My dad should be in that club.

---

Yeah, yeah, this isn't the useless conversation thread (I should get a blog).

/rerail  :-P

I hate Danishes BTW

Comeon now. I could take a picture of myself where I look like Lee Marvin.

Nick Cave invented the MySpace Photo.

Do it.

I couldn't -- even though I come from a long line of Lee Marvin clones. I'm more of a slanted eye, big nosed Atticus Finch.


Also, Nick Cave is the shit.

I call nonsense.  I've seen you.  I can't believe there was ever that stage.

Prove me wrong.  One way or t'other, it'll be funny.

Funny thing, I think it was the King of Denmark that gave title to Siward Armstrong, progenitor of the Armstrong Clan.  The myth is that the king fell off his horse during battle and Siward picked him up by his leg and put him back on there.  Fast track to earldom, apparently.

So according to wikipedia, I could be refered to as a Jockie Kraut Redskin Welcher Hoser, um ... Englishman

There is a suprising lack of slurs against Englishmen for some reason.

If you make up all the slurs, of course you will pass on yourself.

Wanker.

I forgot limey.

Blimey!
