innocent words that need better PR.
 

haha..i was talking to some co-workers. someone said the word RETARD. some lady said, "you cant use that word!!" true, in some context it might not be the best choice.

"should you retard the mix?" (we were discussing the delivery of cement-mix to a distant jobsite)

she only heard the word. innocent enough. i didnt get butt-hurt. i'm glad she left before we started talking about our ERECTION plan.

any other words? :D

Trans

blacklist/whitelist
master/slave
black hat / white hat (hackers)
man hours
master branch

These are all pretty common in the IT world, and are now, apparently, not in favor.

Tranny (commonly used by gearheads when talking about a transmission)

And yes, retard or just tard.

My ***** is gonna be tutored (Far Side reference) soon!

For Pelicans .... they are spelled bichez :D

thanks to awful PR, now we have to use more words just to say, "bundle of sticks bound together with twine to be used as fuel". now if there was only a single word we could have used for that. :D

^^^^ I don't understand what yer yammering about... use the word please ;)

Kindling.

Fag. Also used as a slang term for cigarette.

Oh, Snap!

Looked it up.

fag got is the correct word for sticks

Fag is the cig.

English comedian "My wife's shower water is so hot I can light a fag off it."

Anyone that has ever set the timing of the distributor has had to advance and retard the timing to get it set to the manufacturers specified setting.

I still have my timing light I bought in 1971 for setting the initial timing on my El Camino if I pull the distributor.

Around here bum can mean a beggar on the street. Can also be used as asking for something for free. I once heard "Do you mind if I bum a fag." when a guy was asking for a cigarette LOL

What about big bum?

Lots of others, many of which have already been noted.

In the case of your word, Vash, it's all about pronunciation ...

Higgins is always yammering about the word niggardly

Years ago ... back when FL banned smoking inside the workplace, a guy (former Navy methinks) stated he was going outside to "suck a duck"... I've never heard it since.... well, at least he didn't use the F word :D

There are no innocent words, the left hears what it wants to hear.

I've tried to find a clip of her show, but can't. Years ago, I saw a special for a hilarious black female comedian. One of her bits, was that to fix the "N" word, we needed to change the association of that word to something positive. Her proposal was to apply the name to potato chips because everyone loves potato chips. I really wish I could find it, it was hilarious.

“Tard” is what you are when you need a nap. I’m feeling pretty tard right now as a matter of fact. “Retard” is a tractor that’s had new tars put on it.

apparently, all good until you tie kindling (Webster calls out TWIGS specifically) up with twine. now we have issues! :D

Midget, MASTER cylinder, SLAVE cylinder....

Whitey....nothing racist about it in a pool hall. It's a commonly used phrase for the cue ball.

As in: He's got whitey on a string...meaning this guy controls the cue ball well.

You should have told her to mind her business.

Vibrator

Master bedroom/bathroom. I’ve been calling it the owner‘s bedroom/bathroom for 20 years, to avoid potentially offend buyers.

Yeah, we use "master-slave manipulators" here at work. We refer to them as MSMs or thru-the-walls (since they go through 40" concrete walls). The MSM terminology is going out of favor, but that's just what they're called.

I just ordered two new master cylinders....was I wrong?

you can't serve two masters

I always think Master bedroom - sounds a bit kinky. Someone's going to get a whipping in there.

You just can't use the words MOIST or PENETRATE in a sentence without sounding creepy.

retard,
penetrate
vibrator

all get screamed out by Concrete workers...good times

This is a Fag got
