PETA would disagree. Pansy can be used as a derogatory gender term when it's just a pretty flower.
What PC Incorrect terms did you grow up with?

PETA would disagree w/ what?
I'd say b/c it is a flower, "pansy" can be used to convey weakness w/o disparaging any gender. You're appropriating the name of a flower.
PETA would disagree with using the term bitch for a female. People appropriate random terms to mean something else often thru societies. *** is a cigarette in the UK , **** is cool to say in Australia.
It's best to ignore PETA completely.
Yeah, appropriating the name of a flower seems totally fine to me.
Cultural context matters.
Laughing couple of earlier comments reminded me of this scene from Shameless.
A very underrated character, for sure.
Oh, A few in there I don’t know… Time to Google!
I only use it to refer to normal people who seem to always do stupid things. Not actually making fun of ******ed people.
Aussie's man. Point was their common use of "****" in the lyrics. The bass player is only original member and band has been around since 80's. Why it's hilarious they carry on like it's 25 years ago still. Majority of their songs raunchy punk rock.
Good cheeky , sleazy punk rock. I wanna be able to have that much fun when I am in my 50's.
Myself and a friend got in trouble for calling a kid from India(somewhere like that) a monkey in 2nd grade.
The kid was literally acting like a monkey(ooh oh ah ah'ing, walking like one, scratching armpits, etc...) and throwing stuff at us during recess. We said something like leave us alone you stupid monkey and after we said that to him he run off and told on us. At the time I didn't realize why we were in trouble.
I would think it was entrapment, but looking back on it the kid had some type of mental issues.

Grew up watching Archie Bunker. He insulted every ethnicity, race, religion, culture and gender. Show was meant to paint that mentality in a bad light but he became a beloved character.
Yeah, beloved, but not, like, a role model or anything. I don't think he was intended to be negatively received, though. His daughter and Meathead were total caricatures.
If you say so. So you know DeSantis was using Monkey in a derogatory context. Or you just want to believe he was, since it pushes the Liberal narrative?
Are you implying they don't play that anymore? I'll be damned......lol.
That was the morning game outside as we waited for 1st bell in elementary/middle school......some wall ball as well and perhaps a little hackey sack circle to wind down, lol.
Speaking of this one, did you see where that guy made a huge deal about a Walking Dead shirt? Caused them to completely remove the shirt.
Anyway the shirt basically was......
Eeeny meenie miny moe…..
Then under the slogan was a graphic with a bloddy baseball bat, wrapped with barbed wire (Lucille, for those that watch the show)
Then the guy goes on to say....
"The slogan is 'Eeeny meenie miny moe…..' It stops there, but of course we all know what the original said: 'catch a n***** by his toe.' The graphic has a large American baseball bat, wrapped round with barbed wire, and covered with blood. This image relates directly to the practice of assaulting black people in America. "It is directly threatening of a racist assault, and if I were black and were faced by a wearer I would know just where I stood."
Also need to point out that @TheDude1 stated a thread with the word "Man cave" and didn't use the term "Person Cave". Somewhere there is someone trying to figure out how to create an account just to tell you how much you offended them.
I only watched season 1. Is Lucille black? I guess I could see how that first line and then a symbol representing a black character could be taken that way... or was the guy complaining thinking it was just a random weapon to use for "catching" black people?
Pretty dumb....but not at all unexpected.No. It's a baseball bat
...and the only minority I've seen it kill was an asian guy.
Oh, the actual bat is named Lucille?
I thought maybe it was Lucille's bat. Laughing
