Times change, and so do epithets

Welcome. Are you related to Dog Eat Dog World?

 

Are you immune from outing rules?

 

Yes. I was vaccinated.

 

Where does one acquire such a vaccination?

 

Dan Issel and Mike Bacsik say "Too late, señor."

 

For crying out loud, Mexican is a term referring to people from the nation of Mexico. How is that different than Japanese, British or American? I admit I did take issue with a certain family member who referred to every single Hispanic, regardless of nationality as "Mexican". But, when used in the correct context, there's nothing derogatory about it.

 

I don't know about forbidden, but I do know that the word "goof" has become a very provocative insult in some circles.

It started out as jail slang for pedophile and is now becoming a mainstream no-no.

 

Nah, "goof" has been around for a long, long time. I can tell you that lots of ballplayers used it in the 1910s ... meaning exactly what you think it means: a fuckup, an idiot.

 

Fuck yes. This thread is now about Penny Arcade.

 

National Parks have them. Just ask the ranger at the gate.

 

Right, and that's how I've always known it. But now it has evolved into something much more hostile.
