I don't need an English lesson, I am pretty adept at the use of our language and the meaning of words in the context they are being used in and this thread has nothing to do with the correct use of a word! My point is I am sick and tired of the word police and the namby pamby attitude of don't say that because someone will be offended. We are becoming a nation of wimps and and afraid of our own shadow for fear someone may be offended because of the word police and accusations of being a hater. As Clark Gable said in Gone with the Wind," frankly my dear I don't give a ", you know the rest!
