    I say females and am one. Title has me wondering if it’s from hearing it so frequently.

      unless it’s used as an adjective it definitely sounds like an incel or a ferenghi is speaking

        I’ve read Fahrenheit 451. Bradbury had interesting thoughts about offensive language, as well.

            There’s something to be said for picking one’s battles. The concept stands, as well as the concept of not being in a state of perpetual outrage. Life can be sweeter, for it.

            Be well.
