Don’t forget how casual the r word was. Every comedy of the 90s and 2000s called somebody that. It’s still too commonly used but nothing like it was back then.

not to mention the casual use of the hard R. even Linus from LTT admitted to have dropped his fair share of hard Rs back then.

Oh. I know it's not a nice word but didn't think it was bad enough to include on the same level as the n-word. Times do change I guess

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 4 months ago

It's a weird one. "Retard" is a technical term, jargon. It became a perjorative term.

Unlike the n-word that was always a pejorative.

fags

This is what we called cigarettes in Australia.

[-] FozzyOsbourne@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Same in Britain. Damn homophobia ruining perfectly good slang!

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 4 points 4 months ago

We had a couple weeks calling people "F.A.G.s' and "M.A.G.s" for 'female ass grabber" and "male ass grabber". As in someone how grabd a females ass or or a male ass. I have no idea how the teachers were able to do anything about that with a straight face.
