My FB newsfeed just reminded me of another one: No Homo. I hate that phrase so much, especially when it's used on "non-gay" (for lack of a better term) statements.

Hey, bro, I heard you were sick. I hope you're feeling better. No homo.

What?

LOL meh this isn't the first time I've posted about or alluded to being a smoker on GC. I figure at some point, everyone on GC has something they do that's just wrong. We are human, after all.

Like, take PB for example. He loves chitlins. Seriously?!

No homo is stupid.

But I wasn't posting that to be a meanie, I was just being honest with her.

The only one who didn't care was the foreign one. And that was a relief.

I dunno, I mean, it doesn't matter to me, it's just a word. It's not like it makes or breaks a relationship. To what degree it's taken, I think it just depends on the person. He just sounds a little insecure. I mean, everyone is insecure to some degree about something. Ya know what I mean? If he doesn't like you to use his first name only, just tell him it could be worse. One of my classmates has been in her relationship with this guy for about 2 years now. Some of the things she tells me about him makes me wonder why she's still with him. To make a long story short, his name is Nick, but whenever she and I are talking about our SOs to each other, she'll refer to her SO as "Dick" at first and, then she'll fake cough and say "cough cough, I mean Nick", as in, he's a dick. lol

Words that I find to be very annoying: I don't like swear words, especially if they're used to put someone else down. I very rarely swear and I don't like being around people who do swear. I mean, I really, really have to be very angry and upset for something to slip out, but that's rare. Or if I tell a joke, or I'm quoting what someone else said, but otherwise I don't swear. I also think the F word is just tacky and degrading. I don't like the B word either. I hear vets use it all the time in some of the clinics I've worked in when they're referring to a female dog, and it still annoys me. I don't use it. I just say male or female dog, even though it is the proper terminology in vet medicine.

Well if it was just one guy I'd dated I'd write it off to insecurity, but it's pretty much all of them.

PS-I think the "Dick" thing is funny. Maybe he deserves it? Or maybe they're just the couple that has "that relationship" where neither gets mad when they joke on each other.

I cuss (probably another term that gets made fun of) a lot in person, but rarely when writing since I can proofread before I post/send. It's part of my vocabulary and has been since I've been a teen. I do know it's a bad habit, but...

I AM careful to watch what I say around strangers, people I know are offended by cussing, and of course children. There really isn't an excuse to offend someone for no reason.

And in the world of dog people, and in English.

Using "the B word" to refer to a woman = rude and offensive (alhough some people might say not always).

Using "the B word" to refer to a female dog = correct and appropriate. Avoiding it in this context looks like finding offense where none is presumed by definition, none is intended and none is conveyed.

When someone over the age of 16 uses the word "uber".

"OMG, I am "uber" excited!"...Grow up.

That's okay. I'm sure some words I use are annoying too. Everyone is guilty of this.
