Swag bothers me more than YOLO, but I agree.NoeL said:That would be either "swag" or "yolo"... or "yolo swaggins".
Also, obligatory SWAG video
The Eleventh Doctor is right!

Y'know, you have a point... I'm white and I guess I don't really know why the N word offends me. Maybe it's because it makes me cringe to think about how badly some white people used to treat their slaves, I guess.The Ubermensch said:ABLb0y said:As the title says, you can make it so that one word, any word, is banned... Or at least, make it so you never hear it. What would yours be?
Mine would either be ******, the N word (For obvious reasons) or twerking (Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of hearing Yahoo news writing an article whenever some female pop star does it.)
So c'mon, Escapists, tell me.If either of you are black:krazykidd said:I'd choose something simple like , "it" , "or" "as" "you". Just to troll people with poor vocabulary .
Seriously though , someone more intelligent than I would probably say something along the lines of " we would just need to use the word from the original language [ insert banned word here] is derived from to get over the ban " , but i'm not that intelligent . So i'll say the "N word" because i find it incredibly offensive and i crige everytime i hear it in any kind of media for any reason.
Not saying that you yourselves do, but a large percentage of the african american population do use it. No one should use that word, but they do, and you can't really get angry at the generation of white kids that both aren't responsible for slavery and exposed to contemporary african american culture start saying Nigga without understanding your context, because the contemporary context is different now.
Now if you're white... Why does that offend you so much? Were you enslaved? Or is it a grim reminder of the colonial golden era?
Now, as for the word I would ban
I'd like to tell you a story; Chuck Palahniuk, Gen Urobuchi and Guy Ritchie walk into a bar, and all the sudden you really don't care about what people say; you care more about why they say it.
It pisses me off because it's part of 'yummy mummy' which is just a delicate, middle class way of saying MILF.lacktheknack said:The word "yummy".
It ticks me off beyond measure.
I don't know why.

I admit to using that word sometimes, despite me having quite a few autistic family members, but I tend to use it in the context of "slowed down" or "delayed". When I use it, most people assume I'm being an asshole, but I at least know that the word doesn't mean "autistic". I'm socially retarded (Not from birth, from lack of social interaction at a young age), someone in crutches is physically retarded.Tenkage said:In all seriousness, I would ban Retard (and any varations) I am autistic and hearing that word is like you saying the N word near a black person
The funny thing is that words such as "Umm", "like" and "sort of" are used so as that our brain has time to catch up with our mouth, so I guess Satan is looking out for us!oZode said:I'd ban "ummm..."
It is such a dumb, nerve wracking thing to hear. Like, it is the worst word in existence. Satan made that word, and Ifrits use it daily.
I would ban that word too, although for slightly different reasons. Well, more specifically I would ban the word "offended."generals3 said:I'd go for the word "offensive". Everybody is offended by everything nowadays so that's my way to fix the problem.
"Slippery John thinks that's an excellent idea!"Forobryt said:Forobryt would ban the word "I" so that everyone must talk in the 3rd person. Would make the whole world more classy and yet seem more insane at the same time.
Did not think of that. Good idea!Forobryt said:Forobryt would ban the word "I" so that everyone must talk in the 3rd person. Would make the whole world more classy and yet seem more insane at the same time.
