Bio
Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.” ― Michael Ellner ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government... The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, Speaking in June, 1991 meeting in Baden, Germany"---------------------------- -"The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn't statistically significant." - UN Scientist Phil Jones to scientist John Christy July 5th 2005--------------------------------------

Verbotten Vernacular or THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY.

Rate: 10 Flag

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.

"People are sensitive and easily offended".......

So?
I disagree with you on this. I think "Dr." Laura was mean and abusive to an innocent person and if from what I can tell this came from an ugly place. Sure, she has her rights to free speech but we have the rights then to call her out on it.

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.
I have no love for Dr. Laura---to tell the truth, I didn't know she was still on the air---but I also have a quixotic definition of obscenity. Racial slurs are offensive, yes, but most people still focus on words like "fuck" and "goddamn" as representing the height of bad language. I think it's political speech, especially obscurantist stuff, that is really obscene. In the 70's when it was revealed that the CIA called murder "termination," or "termination with extreme prejudice," as if someone was just getting fired from their job, THAT seemed obscene to me, I mean, really filthy and degrading.

rated.
Oh, Jesus, you people are a drag. this was like my tribute to George Carlin. Have some respect for the dead, and do not turn humor into grandstanding political commentary. Lighten up.
Thanks, Robin. At least someone gets it. It isn't discrimination if you offend everyone.
I listened to the album you got this from, yesterday! Fucking classic, Carlin was and STILL is the best. LOL

-R-
Well, it isn't seven dirty words, but it is based on it.
Do you remember Hair the Musical? It got lots of attention because everyone in the play went nekkid at one point. There was a song too called Colored Spade that barely got a mention 'cause nudity was so taboo. Check out these lyrics, especially how timely they are suddenly:

I'm a
Colored spade
A nigger
A black nigger
A jungle bunny
Jigaboo coon
Pickaninny mau mau

Uncle Tom
Aunt Jemima
Little Black Sambo

Cotton pickin'
Swamp guinea
Junk man
Shoeshine boy

Elevator operator
Table cleaner at Horn & Hardart
Slave voodoo
Zombie
Ubangi lipped

Flat nose
Tap dancin'
Resident of Harlem

And president of
The United States of Love
I said President of
The United States of Love

(and for dinner at the White House you're going to feed him:)

Watermelon
Hominy grits
An' shortnin' bread
Alligator ribs
Some pig tails
Some black eyed peas
Some chili
Some collard greens

And if you don't watch out
This boogie man will get you
Booooooooo!
So you say.
Wow. That's out there. I could even add a few, but I don't want too many words to same to the same people. Can we measure oppresion by how many offensives words there are for them? For example, black, gay, female, Asian, Arabic, Indian or Italian? The whiter people are the less negative words for them. Mick is the only one I could think of for Irish. Kraut, and Frog for German and French. Cracker for white. None of which are that offensive.
Women in comfortable shoes is offensive to me, Thor! My gay feet have ached in the same in uncomfortable shoes as anyone else! Walk a mile in these six inch moccasins...xox ; )
Ok, Robin. Fair enough. How about women in flannel? Women at Star Trek conventions? Women with men's brains? Women who work on cars? Women with tools? Women in strap-ons who adamantly deny penis envy? Women with bad taste in clothes? Women who don't enjoy dinner theatre, malls or fashion tips? The women who run publishing? Potential supreme court nominees? The Women of the Clinton administration? Women on a cruise with Rosie? The Women on The View? Women who prefer strap-ons to strapless? Fran Lebowitz? Thanks for playing.
i disagree with this.
one should be able to say limey, frog, jerry, kraut, ivans.
Limy and Ivans. Another is Pomy bastards for Australians. Kiwis. Pommy means prison of her majesty. But Americans don't know the term, any more than pufta, which means gay. You would have to visit England to hear the terms.
I could never figure out why a guy named Richard would choose to be called Dick.
I hope that wasn't offensice, Robin. I have no filter. Only an inkling of what may or may not be offensive. Hell we grew up with Italian and Polish joke books. Thats how different the 70s are from the 90s and beyond.
Don't get me started, Poetress. My father had that nickname. My older brother, also named Richard, rarely was called that, but yeah, to me is was like calling a woman twat as a term of endearment, when oure not talking about Sarah Palin. I supposed fanny and pussy, may be actual nicknames. Then there are surnames like lipshitz, semen and hyman. But to choose a nickname that is part of your body, is a bit off. Especially one that is the equivalent of calling someone an asshole, or jerk. Was my fathers generation that fucking clueless? Hell, I was adopted. Him and my brother were the ones with 140 IQs. Do they not get that genitalia do not make flattering nicknames? What the fuck?
I don't even know what a zipper head is, so I'm sure I won't be using that one...I've taken notes though.
It's a rude expresion for Asian. But these days, I believe even Oriental is considered offensive, which I don't really understand. Isn't Asian the Orient? As I've mentioned before, it's like the different between calling someone a Dick or Cunt. One is simply rude, the other sexist, apparently. Why is Oriental offensive, but Asian ok? Are they not simply regional distinctions? Zipperhead is obviously offensive. But Oriental?
But can I think them?


BTW, call me ignorant but what's "women in comfortable shoes"?
I gots to know so I won't use it. R
WICS is a term for lesbians. I don't think it's offensive, but who knows.
George was a classic and now a legend! His humor, style and loveable shamelessness was the best!!! Saw him live once and thought I would seriously die laughing. What you said...but without being unladylike! Don't want to disturb my dear departed mom.
Why, does she read my blog?
