The coarsening of language throughout our country is undeniable. Most of it is just sloppy and unimaginative. I'm certainly guilty of this myself, though mostly on playpens like this one. But terms that may be technically related to genitalia- prick, pussy, dick, douchebag, et al ad nauseum, are not inherently sexist. To me, Dubya is a prototype for pussy. Am I describing female privates? I don't think so, Tim. Bill Clinton has been far more a bitch than his wife, although her "hard working white American" statement today sure qualifies. Professional pissoffs like AKA Smith, chips on their shoulder the size of redwood trees, find slights in every nuance of lingo, when most of it is just mindless. That's a problem, too, but a different. Smitty's still back bitching (meaning whiney complaining- it's in the dick-tionary) about HIStory and HERstory. Her mind is down the personhole cover along with the rest of the sewage. In the interest of equal time and egalitarianism, if Bushit can be a pussy, Smitty can be a prick. Turnabout is foreplay.
