A Fine Line

[Mrs. Gooch]

FYI, I use the word "Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)" at work all the time.

[star seed 7]

I say erection to my coworkers a lot

FYI, I use the word "Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)" at work all the time.

i say Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), but not Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), or very seldom Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  i accept mir's observation that Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) is a word passing into a slur.  however, i think it's a stupid process and i'll fight a rearguard action on my favorite local message board for years past when it may be logical to give up.

Honestly, when someone uses the word "Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)" it tells me they are at least 30 years old and not very creative.

Eminem used it on snl and it was not muted like the other naughty words

I know this is long dead but I haven't been back here since this was being talked about. I need you and everybody else to know that I ask that this word not be used as a personal request and not as a request for PC. I've seen that word used flippantly and I've seen that word used as a weapon, the problem is for a segment of people the effect is the same, it's heart breaking and completely gratuitous. I'm not interested in censorship but if someone I hold in any regard at all uses the word I'll always flinch, always express how I feel about it. I'll never understand why it's more socially acceptable to use that word more than racial slurs.

Look up Rosa Marcellino she's an actual real life hero.


end rant, thanks for reading

[Mrs. Gooch]

 It's ok in the context that I use it in, just like when lib says erection at work.

Yes.

Let's say that you are a public figure and you have slapped some asses in the past. And now you realize that you shouldn't have done that, it was wrong, and you don't plan on doing it any more. What should you do now? Should you out yourself or just keep quiet and hope no one else reports you?

[star seed 7]

Dur, you keep quiet you snitch

[Brock Landers]

Yeah the smart move is to keep quiet, eventually the Wheel of Outrage will land on something else.

[star seed 7]

Women are too complicated

[Mrs. Gooch]

What do you think about the king & queen of Bhutan? They first met when she was 7 and he was 17.

He'd been so moved by her beauty and inner goodness, that he'd got down on his knees and said: "When you grow up, if I am single and not married and if you are single and not married, I would like you to be my wife, provided we still feel the same."

Then 14 years later they got married. He even gave up his right to have multiple wives.

I has the same feeling. One of those things like: well I made it this far surely it’s almost over.

Are you fools serious?

[8manpick]

I got through about 3 paragraphs and had to stop because of the horrendous writing.

[star seed 7]

I actually enjoyed the writing quite a bit

[Mrs. Gooch]

I read the whole thing (yes, I looked at the side bar and could tell how long it was).
And it seemed like a situation that has happened thousands of times.

[mocat]

the writing was fine, i just want to know why i read it
