This morning's commute and other commuting stories

I know what you mean but it is quite emotive language especially if you have seen this video:

A universal shout of "wanker" accompanied by a slow wank gesture expresses your feelings without being sexist, racist etc etc.

Apologies for delay in reply.
Not really sure what to write now because everything I think of sounds like a mountain out of a molehill and I can't really get past "politically correct" as a "being oppressed by the thought police" whine. I mostly hate how it's used. And mostly anyone who uses it in that way is a dick, in my book. Change it, don't change it, don't say "the politically correct made me do it". Or do, whatever. It pushes more buttons than "whore" so, I guess you win.

I didn't hate "whore". It made me wince. It's a wincey, twitchy word and I don't exactly know why - but I don't think it's entirely individual bias. Possibly it is, in which case csb. I could expand on why I think it makes me uncomfortable, but I'm not sure it's really worth being belittled/dismissed. I think "Hey, but that hippy's a cool guy, He's not a dick." but y'know? Fuck it. It's not worth it.

One thing though - you didn't say "I called her a whore" as in, you used it as a direct insult because you knew it would piss her off. You called her "some whore" for your audience, the forum. Perhaps one day "some whore" will become, in the context of the forum, the next level up in general insults from "some cunt", when that happens I expect I will wince less. Context and all.
