Well, it's certainly not a compliment.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : Hmm.. I never thought of it like that before, but I guess you're right. The wedding theme talk - I remember several times when I first started posting, people would ask about unity ceremonies other that candle or sand and there were always like 2 posters who would be like "THE WHOLE CEREMONY IS ABOUT UNITY!!!!!! WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?!??!" It's a similar thing - do you "need" a theme or a unity ceremony? No, but a lot of people want them and it's not something to get worked up or upset about, in my opinion.

I agree, and that is what bugged me about the posters who took it as a chance to make a dumb joke.

[QUOTE]This is a P&R but speaking of puppies and rainbows sucking, Snippy's thread about Lucy going to see a castle was beyond lame.

I totally agree with this. And I love puppies who get to explore, but coming from Snippy it's just eye-rolly now a days.

I think of you guys every time I start to say the "r" word (really trying to break the habit, but it just slips out when I'm muttering to myself).  Then I try to replace it with "idiot", which I remember was also discussed as an offensive term on here.  Then I just don't know what to say. 

mica178

I'm sorry to have brought up the politically correct-ness crap.  Honestly, it doesn't bother me a ton to see/hear other people use the term lame, but for myself, I'm trying to get it out of my vocabulary.  Between my patients with disabilities and my MIL who is crutch-dependent, I'm insulting important people in my life when I use it to indicate something derogatory.

My go-to substitute is either butthead or buttface.  They've got none of the connotations of the "r" word, communicate the same basic idea, and generally get a laugh because most people stop using butthead and buttface at around the age of nine.

Well, I looked around, and even waited to see if anyone was talking-- and there wasn't.  Jesus. I can't do anything right. So, all I have for LDY and Chirp is this:

Haha Snips I'm sure there is something funny under those words, but all I see is the little image icon.  WTF. 

I feel like that flame for Snippy was just because she said she didn't like the flames here.  So Chirp thought "hmm, how can I flame Snippy then."

I love the world "lame."  It's so wonderfully apathetic.  You can't tell someone that you think they're being "stupid" or "moronic" without implying that on some level, you care -- if only a little tiny bit.  Most negative adjectives are emotionally charged like that.  But you can tell someone she's being lame with no personal investment whatsoever.  

I also don't buy "lame" as a derogatory term.  The second dictionary definition (according to Merriam Webster) is "lacking needful or desirable substance" -- which is EXACTLY the way the way the word is used on the boards.  I have yet to see anyone use it as derogatory slang referring to people with disabilities.

Sometimes we even change it to "Butt-esque"

I can't see the pic, Snippy, but I promise I'm not trying to be a biitch about it - I must still be trying to find more back up for the "Lucy is a reason you went soft!" Back in the day, Amoro would have gone into a thread like that and told the girl she was an AW. It's just so weird seeing YOU post stuff like that.

Posted by mica178[/QUOTE]

I think that it is admirable to work to change your vocabulary to eradicate offensive terms.  I just start to take issue when people get rude policing others on their own usage.  I've told FI that the N word and the F word (the homophobic one) are offensive to me, and please try to avoid using them in my presence.  Can I change his vocabulary? No.  But can I make him aware of how it affects me in a polite respectful way? Sure.

My sister on the other hand who called him out in front of my extended family for using the "R word, that I see as rude and unhelpful.

Snippylynn

And honestly, if most of topics of conversation were remotely interesting, I'd probably feel like participating, but it's just a bunch of bullshit. It's like you're all just here, taking up space. Not that you have to be discussing world peace or the UN, but DAMN.

kellyjellybelly

Can someone explain to me what part of making a post on a message board isn't AWish.  I mean, come on.  If I want to make a separate post to say something. I'm going to.  

I think people are just reaching for things now.

[QUOTE]Sometimes when I see the word "lame," I picture the part in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" when Kate Hudson is singing to Matthew McConaughey about how his lovemaking is lame.  I don't know why, I think it's the way she sang it.

Every time I hear "You're so vain" by Carly Simon on the radio, I think of crazy Kate Hudson singing it, and I cringe. I love Kate Hudson, I think she's adorable, but homegirl should not sing.

YAY!!  I was in Corral D (all by my lonesome) and finished in 2:40:48.

It was an awesome race.  That was my first half, and I had a blast (well except for the last mile when I was just DONE!).  And the weather was amazing.
