What annoys me about the word is how the Dems have redefined it to mean: ignore the facts, ignore history, ignore common sense, and just fall in line with us or we'll say you're obstructing solutions to the problems our party caused!
Looks as though the phrase "revisionist history" doesn't bother you a bit.
 
This is a little annoying, too. When people refer to Asian cuisine or Asian people as 'Oriental'. Things and people from the Orient are not from China, Japan, or Korea. They are from Malaysia, the Philippines, and Borneo!

If its used as a noun as in the "Orient" it pertains to geographical region of southern Asia and the Malay Archipelago, but if its used as an adjective i.e. oriental, it can merely mean eastern, as occidental means western. It is a lazy word though and people use it way too broadly, like when they use the word oriental when they should say Japanese or Chinese or Korean. I know what you mean

...... and ......ed (or retarted), when used in the popular contemporary derogatory context.

Used properly, such as to ...... the timing, or ...... spoilage, even the medical use of "mental ......ation", from which the popular usage was derived present no offense to me. People who use the words in place of "silly" or "dumb", as a pejorative should consider that there are real, live people who have below normal IQs ... people who are quite capable of understanding the insult. As a society, we have fairly much agreed to purge our vocabulary of a number of ethic slurs, at least in public. And yet, it is not at all uncommon for some people to throw out "......ed" on a forum and nobody even blinks.

Is it really alright to use the mentally handicapped as a minority we can still publicly ridicule?

How about:
Amazing (it's amazing how this word is over used for lack of anything else to say), I blogged about this 6 years ago)

IRREGARDLESS let's try regardless

IDEAL (It was my ideal)

Torlet

Just want to make sure we're on the same page. (One time in a meeting just to throw my boss I said, we need to be eating off the same plate here) lol He always started our meetings with "we need to be on the same page" I asked him once...is that anything like pissing in the same pot?


I "carried" my son to baseball practice. Why? was your car broken and he can't walk?

"WE WUZ" going to "carry" mother to church but her "ideal" was to stay in bed, irregardless that it was 11:00 A.M. But "anyways" it was "amazing"

Put that in your PV and vape it!!
