a NYC councilman is introducing a resolution calling for new yorkers to stop using the words nigger, nigga, or any combination of syllables that come close to sounding like nigger. they find the word so offensive, they can't even spell it out in the official paperwork. it's referred to as "the n word". it's not the first time our brave leaders and their civilian lackeys have seen fit to ban words.

i'm not one to go name calling but uhm...s'cuse me dumbasses, there are a few thousand other words out there just as - or more - offensive. care to make a list?

i'll start.
1) bowdlerise

1. aks (as in "Who fuckin' aksed you, smartarse?")
2. bettn' (this contraction of "better not" is seemingly an Australian creation, popular amongst uneducated mothers (correlation is not causation, I've never heard anyone else use it) as in "We better not go in there, bettin' we?")

The word I've always found most offensive?



"censorship"



As for the smells-just-like-something-I've-stepped-in legislation mentioned above, seems under the terms stated the word "niggardly" would be banned as well...while seldom used anymore because it sounds ugly, it's a perfectly acceptable word that has nothing to do with color or race (altho some of us of Scottish descent might not care to be described as such)...
