I can't bring George Carlin back from the grave, but he dictated this to me, in my sleep, so listen up to
THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY
After a controversial radio host's career took a nose dive for using the "N" word, I thought I would offer some advice to others on what to avoid in daily conversations, or print. People are sensitive and easily offended, so I implore you to use proper language when refering to others.
Never use the word nigger, unless you are a rap artist. It is insensitive, extremely offensive, and one of the nastiest words in the English language.
That said, you should also never use phrases like spade, spoon, spook, spear chucker, kike, chink, spic, wop, ginny, dago, mick, pillow bitter, carpet muncher, slope, gook, or zipper head.
And I don't think I even have to tell you not to say things like wetback, camel jockey, sand nigger, rice burner, cock smoker, sword swallower, women in comfortable shoes, jewbag, cracker, kraut, frog, porch monkey, fudge packer, bitch, cunt, twat, dick, prick, asshole, motherfucker, son of a bitch, towelhead or jew bastard.
I'm only trying to help, and foster a sense of understanding, empowerment, and togetherness so we can let the healing process begin.
Pass the Maalox.

So?
It has so much to do with the whole picture. I find a lot of PCness wrongheaded and phony- but a lot of it does come from a place of decency . It's not at all such a black and white concept, in my opinion.
