And they proceed to give reasons why.

I wish this was some nutty woke incel's blog instead of one of the biggest Media sources in Canada that is funded by Trudeau and the Liberal Government.

haha
What group is offended by the word lame? What group is it that progressives are telling me are lame?

 

[Badger67]

Ima still use em. Thanks for your consideration.

 

[MoparOrNoCar]

I never knew gypped was spelled like that.

 

[WhosTheBoss]

I use way worse.
Liberalism continues to show how it’s a disease.

Seems appropriate that brainstorm would be on there, this is clearly offensive to people without brains

It’s good to know the origin of some of these terms and how they can offend people. I remember people were upset with tiger woods a while back because he kept using the term “spaz”. After he was told of the words origin, he had a better understanding of how it could offend and did offend people. By writing these off as “woke”, it would seem immature. I am well aware of most of these and why they are offensive and will review why the ones I don’t know about are. Thanks for posting TS.

I was just thinking the same thing. Is it a slight towards Gypsies and that’s why it’s offensive??

 

[Bourbaki]

Out of those I only use brainstorm and tone-deaf, that's a pretty good score.
I think others have a bit more work to do.

People with physical disabilities were in the past referred to as lame from what I know. Now something that is uncool or along those lines are lame. Seems like a reasonable reason to be offended.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

First-world problems indeed.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Well.. that sounds retarded

 

[FierceRedBelt]

Will we have to make up new phrases then?

Because I can't think of a better one for getting fucked over than so and so "sold me up/down the river." It's intentionally offensive and resentful.

*Edit Google just told me those are two different sayings. I grew up with "sold me up the river" for extreme betrayal.

 

[panem-et-circenses]

Even though this thread is spooky, I still feel gypped having clicked it

 

[shankmcgank]

You know you suffer from "first world problems" when someone makes a list of "offensive terms" that contains "first world problems."

Hilarious.

 

[HARRISON_3]

Lol, brainstorm??

Thanks for letting us know you're a spaz...

 

[MarleyLynx]

Why would I care if someone takes offense?
That's entirely subjective.

These people are moral busybodies filled with anxiety trying to control everyone else.
I'm under no obligation to tip toe around their mental issues.

spirit animals?

this hurts the instagram thot community the most.
