Quite possibly the most profane and offensive thread ever.

George Carlin would have a job getting that lot in...(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyBH5oNQOS0 - NSFW or in front of kids )
I have laughed out loud at some of the posts on here. I love that Smollet has bikinikaratebabes.com in his favourites, and also the follow on "Fiona Bruce" comment...I literally have tears streaming down my face!

Bellend is still one of my favourite words. Meaning totally reliant on how you say it. So versatile.
Ginger is mild language?
Surprised at some classifications. I think of "mong" as pretty much non offensive, like mouthbreather or glake - to describe the sort of people that drive modified corsas and work as the lowest grade in McDonalds. Or, more often don't work. Research says "Strongest language, highly unacceptable without strong contextualisation. Seen as derogatory and
highly offensive by participants across the research".
Might have to be careful with that one!
Likewise - "spastic". Research: "Strongest language, highly unacceptable without strong contextualisation. Seen as derogatory and
highly offensive to people with mental health problems by participants across the research. Some confusion because many remember The Spastics Society, but clear view that this term is no longer acceptable. Highly offensive to disabled participants."
I think of spastic as more someone being properly daft, or malcoordinated. Context might be the thing, I'd never think of or refer to a disabled person as being a spastic, and I'm not sure I'm even aware of seeing that happening - but I would think of someone doing a visibly st job as being spastic..
Meanwhile, nearly all the "gay" phrases (including "gay" iteslf) are non-offensive to me. I get how you might take them as being bad if you're from the generation where being homosexual was some sort of abhorrent disease, but I'm from the generation where you can be as gay as you like and no-one really gives a rats arse one way or the other.
Is this a generation thing? Just my school playground thing? A context thing? Am I just totally out of touch with the way other people perceive the same words?

?West Indian/British Jamaican term for a (used) sanitary towel or other menstrual gear. So actually pretty gross and liable to result in punching if someone understands the term… Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
