That Swedish term is not offensive btw.
10-12-2014 , 01:38 PM
Being called Swedish is offensive, though.
10-12-2014 , 01:49 PM
Nickleback fans made me giggle.

This list contains both offensive and inoffensive slurs, however none of them are offensive in this thread for academic purposes, assuming no individual(s) present are unwillingly targeted in this thread with the slurs considered offensive outside this thread.

Squinty? I've never heard anyone call me a Squinty. Now, the C word I dislike, but not if another Asian person uses it. Even then I don't really HATE it.

I've never heard of a white person be truly offended by Honky. The slurs for Italians or Irish, yes, but not Honky. In fact, almost every single white person I've ever met just laughs when you say it.

I'm unsure how the rest of the country feels about it.

"Bohunk" was used prominently in Sixteen Candles. "Honky" may be linguistic linked to it.

No idea.
Apparently it means "people who **** in canyons."

Apparently the Dutch were originally called "frogs" because they were marsh-dwellers, but the slur was transferred to the French because they became England's biggest enemy and because they ate frogs' legs.

I am a dago, but I do not find that term offensive.

I am also a mouth breather when I sleep, and that phrase does causes me pain. It reminds me of all the drool stained pillows and cases I am constantly washing on account of my affliction. I would appreciate a little more sensitivity for people such as myself, tyvm.

yesterday in report, I told the oncoming nurse that the patient desatted while he slept because he's a mouth breather.

Cool or no?
10-12-2014 , 10:55 PM
I'm starting a support group for nocturnal mouth breathers.

Snorers not welcome. Those noisy ****ers have no place among the saliva sufferers.
10-12-2014 , 10:58 PM
Most people who are mouthbreathers also snore at night
10-12-2014 , 11:10 PM
I have no idea if I snore or not. Anybody in a position to tell me usually gets grossed out by the drool puddles and leaves long before noise becomes an issue.
10-12-2014 , 11:13 PM
You snore according to my sources.
10-12-2014 , 11:15 PM
I find it hard to believe there is anybody out there willing to admit they've slept with me.
10-12-2014 , 11:24 PM
Self deprecating humor. You must light up rooms with your charisma.
10-12-2014 , 11:26 PM
They're just watching you, you probably don't know them, zz.
