But nonetheless, a sense of perspective is crucial in these things... there is a sort of language policing line that needs to be carefully trodden because we really are getting to a place where someone seems to be so offended by just about anything that they start rending their garments. The best response is "yeah, when you stop and think about it, that's probably something you really should discard from your vocabulary", and move on.

I don't really use it but it's an expression. Anyone who knows the comedian Joey Diaz knows he uses the word as a term of endearment towards his friends. "Whats up C### sucker?" Other people use it to call someone an ahole or a jerk. Some people just yell it as a swear when they are pissed off. I'd say the vast majority of it being used has nothing to do with gay people or even the actual act. I have a good friend who when we pull pranks on him thats what he will call us. People are taking it way too literally. When you call someone a mother f'er you don't literally mean that. Anyways don't need to go down that road. This should be a good game. There's no way the Hawks are going down without a fight.
