Reminds me of something that a few gay/bi- friends told me once. I was whining about being automatically labelled by women as a "sexual predator" simply because I'm male. They insisted that gay males are far worse about sexual conquest, love-em-and-leave-em, and using others for sex/one-night-stands than any other group. (They said it was basically a tie for gay females and straight males. The old joke is, "What does a lesbian bring on a second date? A U-Haul.") They also mentioned that those straight females who decide to use sex as a weapon are probably the as unapologetic about it as gay males, but they are (or at least were) an extreme minority.
To wit, orders to refer to Asians as "worthy oriental gentlemen" gave rise to the term "wog" as a replacement for the original slur words.
Perhaps (people with) "orientation towards people of the same sex will become "pwotpotss"....
One should tread with caution when a member of an oppressed minority..........
They'll have to change it to fit the description of "Smithers" from The Simpsons:
POSSIBLE HOMERSEXUAL
Pookie & ME
By the way, have the poofters been able to bleep out all those disparaging "slurs" against them on Monty Python?
Bruce: G'day, Bruce!
Bruce: Oh, Hello Bruce!
Bruce: How are you Bruce?
Bruce: A bit crook, Bruce.
Bruce: Where's Bruce?
Bruce: He's not 'ere, Bruce.
Bruce: Blimey, it's hot in here, Bruce.
Bruce: Hot enough to boil a monkey's bum!
Bruce: That's a strange expression, Bruce.
Bruce: Well Bruce, I heard the Prime Minister use it. "It's hot enough to boil a monkey's bum in here, your Majesty," he said and she smiled quietly to herself.
Bruce: She's a good Sheila Bruce, and not at all stuck up.
Bruce: Here! Here's the boss-fellow now!
Bruce: 'Ow are you, Bruce?
Bruce: G'day Bruce!
Bruce: Bruce.
Bruce: Hello Bruce.
Bruce: Bruce.
Bruce: How are you, Bruce?
Bruce: G'day Bruce.
Bruce: Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce man from Pommeyland who is joinin' us this year in the philosophy department at the University of Waloomaloo.
Everybruce: G'day!
Michael Baldwin: Hello.
Bruce: Michael Baldwin, Bruce. Michael Baldwin, Bruce. Michael Baldwin, Bruce.
Bruce: Is your name not Bruce?
Michael: No, it's Michael.
Bruce: That's going to cause a little confusion.
Bruce: Mind if we call you "Bruce" to keep it clear?
Bruce: Gentlemen, I think we better start the faculty meeting. Before we start, though, I'd like to ask the padre for a prayer.
Bruce: Oh Lord, we beseech Thee, Amen!!
Everybruce: Amen!
Bruce: Crack tube! (Bottles opening)
Bruce: Now I call upon Bruce to officially welcome Mr. Baldwin to the philosophy faculty.
Bruce: I'd like to welcome the pommey bastard to God's own Earth, and remind him that we don't like stuck-up sticky-beaks here.
Everybruce: Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce!
Bruce: Bruce here teaches classical philosophy, Bruce there teaches Hegelian philosophy, and Bruce here teaches logical positivism. And is also in charge of the sheep dip.
Bruce: What's New-Bruce going to teach?
Bruce: New-Bruce will be teaching political science, Machiavelli, Benton, Lockholm, Sackly, Millbo, Hasset, and Bernaud.
Bruce: Those are all cricketers!
Bruce: Aww, spit!
Bruce: Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce!
Everybruce: Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, we love you amen!
Bruce: Another tube! (Bottles opening)
Bruce: Any questions?
Bruce: New-Bruce, are you a Poofter?
Bruce: Are you a Poofter?
New-Bruce: No!
Bruce: No. Right, I just want to remind you of the faculty rules:
Rule One! (Everybruce) No Poofters!
Rule Two, no member of the faculty is to maltreat the Abbos in any way at all -- if there's anybody watching.
Rule Three? (Everybruce) No Poofters!!
Rule Four, now this term, I don't want to catch anybody not drinking.
Rule Five, (Everybruce) No Poofters!
Rule Six, there is NO ... Rule Six.
Rule Seven, (Everybruce) No Poofters!!
Right, that concludes the readin' of the rules, Bruce.
Bruce: This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand.
Everybruce: Amen!
Regards, Ivan
I'd be interested to see the section that says that. Not that I doubt you. But I am dubious.
an OTPSS is an OTPSS is an OTPSS!
