    Hey, no judgement, but we’re trying to cut down use of the r-term around here, as a courtesy to those who it’s been used to unfairly hurt. Just for future reference.

      And on and on the euphemism train goes, where’s the next stop? There’s going to be a slur for the mentally deficient, tell me which one you endorse.

        None. Don’t insult people over stuff they can’t control. Call them ignorant shitheads not ugly/retarded/etc.

          So shithead is the new slur for mental deficiency?

          Is that what you call unintelligent uneducated indoctrinated rural people who piss you off with zealotry and hate?

          Nevermind, I’ve learned that the new R-word is shithead. Seems more vulgar and insulting but whatever, that’s fine.
