I just want to enjoy the win and not do this. Internet debates rarely change people’s opinion. But if we must...
But as a health care professional who deals with people with a spectrum of issues including mental disabilities, I can confidently say that ‘######ed’ and ‘foolish’ are not synonyms.
And there are layers of colloquial meanings of the word that are ignorant and disrespectful. You can’t ignore that. I don’t think that I get offended by many things, but at least I do know that throwing a word like ‘######ed’ around in that way is not OK. Even Michael Scott clued in a decade ago.
Anyways sorry for elaborating on an off-topic conversation. I was hoping my one-word answer would have been sufficient before, because I’m really just here to enjoy the Flames win.
