The Americans were the ones to use it as a homosexual slur. |

I see rory cowan has said mcdermott and his offended friends are eejits and stuff like this detracts from real gay issues. And I agree.
This in a nutshell captures the stupidity of much of this "i am offended" screeching....it is a few people trying to impose their views on everybody or the same few speaking on behalf of others when they've no right to. Last edited by King of Kings; 06-12-2018 at 16:46. |

Twitter really is going to bring down humanity. I couldnt give a **** if they censor it or not but its no surprise all this PC nonsense the last 10 years coincides with the birth and rise of Twitter.
As for the word, I understand it might offend some Gay people however when I was growing up in Dublin the word had a different meaning, when you called someone a ****** it wasn't over their sexuality it was just they were a windbag or whatever. Won't lose sleep either way if its censored or not but its border line ridiculous now, how much of a safe space do people want in society, if it really offends you then switch off the song. |

Did a bit of research into the origin of the slur in the USA
****** and 'fag' first appear in the Jackson and Hellyers 1914 publication 'A vocabulary of criminal slang with examples of common usages.' 'Bulldyking' was the term for lesbians. What on earth does that mean? |
