Ihe world is a constantly evolving place, and yet political correctness takes a while to catch up. For instance calling someone a “Joey” back in my day was seen as the height of controversy, now once again, and quite rightly, the world has moved on and this term generally only refers to an infant marsupial.
Now, we are not allowed to be prejudice in case we offend someone, but what the F!!
Luckily the English language (and its use in the youth of today) seems to keep a healthy step ahead of the fascist correctness brigade and my favorite word of the moment is “Tard“. Originally coined (in my life anyhow) by a 12 year old, and then passed on to a buddy of mine I feel the need to use this word a whole lot. The urban dictionary has 2 really good explanations of this…
Adjective used to describe one so retarded, they do not deserve the ‘re’
and
Any person who is not developmentally disabled, but rather has what is considered normal cognitive faculties but for whatever reason has opted out of using it.
It has gotten so bad that whilst discussing some things with a buddy of mine, I have discovered that “mongoloid” is also a bad term. Now, see, I thought “mong” was the reference to the downs freaks, and looking it up, it seems that I am correct is my belief that “mongoloid” refers to the distinctive appearance of East Asian peoples in the same way that “caucasoid” refers to us honkey, white bread crackers.
Heaven forbid that we ever use the word “nig-nog” ever again like in my old mans day… By the way, that’s an “up-north” term (allegedly). Hell, even “up-north” will be illegal soon.
