Tons of words need redefining.

The ones that need “retiring” are all fake categories.

Anti-hero, compassionate conservative, derogatory terms for people of other races and other nationalities–words for people who are different.

They all need getting rid of.

Along with the sort of minds who use them as if they meant one thing when they really mean another.

The one I would start with is ‘deregulation”.

And after that “public interest”.

I think the ugliest word that should be retired along with the “n” word, is cu*t….rrrrr I do not like that word!

“towel head” “dot head” and “sand “n”” are all also very derogatory!

what about whops, chinks, g*oks, slopes, taco-benders….

there are so many more, but you get my point.

I also find it strange that black folks allow themselves to call each other “n” but if a “cracker” says it, it’s unacceptable. If they stop using it themselves, retirement all around of the term would stand a better chance.

I would like to see the word ‘not’ used at the end of a sentence gone forever, not because it’s derogatory, but because it’s annoying. Yeah, Tats, you are being a little thick.

Later: What is the ‘woman race’? Mortifying???? Why is it inappropriate to refer to a female dog by its proper name? Some ‘interesting’ comments.

It is not up to anyone in particular when certain words and phrases are dropped from use. Rather, it just happens of it’s own accord, simply because people find a new word for whatever it is/was and the old way of saying it becomes redundant/obsolete.

By the way, what is the “N” word? I am just being thick or what?

I personally would like to see the ‘B’ word retired.

Its demeaning to the woman race (as mainly females get called the ‘B’ word.) It is such a mortifying term.

The only time that it MIGHT be suitable to say such a terrible word is when referring to a female dog (But even i don’t call dogs that)

And yes the ‘N’ word defiantly should be retired!

I agree with N1kk1, the B word…..especially when used to refer to women in general or referring to men who punk out on something.

First off, I thought the “N” word was retired. Second, I think the “F” word should be retired.
