Notes On Language.

This site is intended as a repository of some damn serious criticism of the world, and as such, I don't intend to mince words. Two words in particular:

1. "retarded"

Acceptable uses: slowed or delayed in advancement, progress, or accomplishment.

Unacceptable uses: in reference to the developmentally disabled, or as an insult implying the target is of or like the developmentally disabled.

HOW I INTEND TO USE IT: as a pejorative term, meaning "gay."

2. "gay"

Acceptable uses: frolicksome! Prone to traipsing joyously! Light-hearted! Or, homosexual in a good way!

Unacceptable uses: in reference to homosexuals or homosexuality in a bad way, or as an insult implying the target is of or like a homosexual in a bad way.

HOW I INTEND TO USE IT: as a pejorative term, meaning "retarded."
