Fun fact: word usage changes over time. For example, “idiot” used to be a technical medical term for extreme mental disability. We live in the Age of Information, and if somebody doesn’t want to learn about historical context that’s actually willful ignorance on their part.
Ah the Euphemism Treadmill. Live long enough and words we use today for intellectual disability will become inappropriate too.
Euphemism treadmill in action.
The secret ninth rule of fight club
Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw a while ago…
“Join the one arm golfers and beat the world” (Accompanied with a depiction of an angry arm swinging a club at the ground.)
I had a similar first thought.
We are swinging for their benefit, not at them.
Where can I get one of these shirts…I love it…anyone own a printing press?
I grew up in an area where vans labelled “Northwest Center for the Retarded” just driving around all the time, and they were the good guys.
They’re just “Northwest Center” these days though so, consensus has definitely moved away from that word.
I don’t think you should swing for the committee member with a golf club no matter what you think about them
I mean thing swinging lifestyle is one thing but that might be a bridge too far.
