It occurs to me that what we have here is a major cultural divide, I've looked into it and here in Ireland the term is in no way considered the same as it is in your culture, in fact here it's used promintently by prominent figures and is understood not to be derogatory.

Weird.

Like the word that rhymes with hunt is common parlance in England, but god help you if you use it in America.

It literally means vagina. Language is ****ing stupid, essentially.

Yeah, 'retarded' is just a commonly used term here, and is never meant with the intention to be derogatory, it's hard to explain but it's simply just understood not to mean that. No one would ever call offence to it.

And while racism here is less institutionalized than America, and less language based, it's more based in profiling and warped characterization based on culture or race.

Different cultures yo.

Let's both refrain from using derogatory slurs and get back to the topic at hand.

Let's all play the Semantics game, which is rigged for only one side anyway.

I'm Straight Edge and find your assumptions as to what I'm doing offensive... Lol jk no I don't.

And in all seriousness, you're entitled to your opinion regarding today, but I like more or less everyone else here finds it to be innocuous. More power to ya, though.
