I remember “f****t” being harsh or offensive, with “f*g” being viewed as much more casual.
Huggins might be in trouble, DUI is good, Bees are bad

Louis CK has a great bit on the word from years ago on how it evolved from when he was a child
Two syllables was definitely more harsh.
It’s an interesting word. Goes back a long way and didn’t always mean what it does now. Actually, it’s current meaning is relatively recent, and it continues to evolve.
Thom Brennaman sends his regards, as Castellanos hits a deep drive to left field, it will be a homerun.
Like the South Park kids, when I used it, I never even really thought about the anti-gay side of it. It just meant “jerk off” or “weiner” or some form of lesser and pathetic man.
Obviously when I realized that the gay community views it like the N word, I dropped it out of my lexicon, but that was never initially obvious to me and I think that was true for lots of people.
I think I was listening to Mad Dog Radio when this happened. I about wrecked my car listening to him give an update to the action mid apology...if you want to call it that.
I know exactly what you mean. Same thing with me. Now when I hear it, it‘s like one those “oooooo” (grimace) type reactions. Kind of like I’m trying to hide even though I’m merely in the presence of someone saying it.
Whether it happens or not, saying that is 100% a fireable offense. Wasn't it Rutgers' men's coach like a decade ago that got canned for saying it (along with hitting players too)?
The Twolves player that tweeted the same word got hit with a fine, Huggins will get worse but I'd be surprised if he were fired
This may be the first time I've wanted to vote both Dumb and Laughter on the same message
Here is the audio. He actually says it twice. And the host throws in a 'trans' joke for good measure.
I still think it whenever I hear some ******* revving his motorcycle engine in my neighborhood.
They certainly could fire him, but I don’t think they will and I don’t think there will be a large amount of pressure to do so
I think I'm slightly younger than you but its offensiveness was a feature and not a bug to most of the teenage boys I remember from high school. The same can be said about some other terms.
Yeah, I just turned 41 this past Saturday and I'm pretty sure it wasn't kosher when I was in middle and high school, but maybe by only a couple years. It was one of those words I never said, along with retard and midget. There was some very short cultural window when those turned from common to no-no.
I guess I've always been "woke"... must explain the lack of sleep
I do like watching British content on Netflix though... the way they use the "c..t" word is amazingly refreshing.
I know when I was in high school the guys would routinely say "that's pretty g*y!" meaning that's stupid and some threw around the word f*g regularly. But our generation grew up with south park on our tvs.
Ouch, said it twice in 15 seconds. That is not a Freudian slip. That is part of his everyday vocabulary. And neither he nor the hosts gave any pause and just kept on laughing it up. Don't take this post wrong. In my world that is not a termination worthy offense. But this will get interesting.
All that coke zero you drink might make you the wokest person aliveYeah, I just turned 41 this past Saturday and I'm pretty sure it wasn't kosher when I was in middle and high school, but maybe by only a couple years.
