Some prude edited the word 'sex' out of the meme. Lame.

"lame" isn't super appreciated here. At best it's a homophone of a word that is ableist. At worst, people are actively being ableist. You never know with the internet, we have a ton of extremely problematic people pop in and use words that mean the second option. There's just better ways to express disbelief or calling someone socially inept.

But yeah, prude.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen someone use the old definition of lame unless they were being intentionally antiquated, and even then, never in a way to put someone down.

Imagine having the privilege of so much free time that you can afford to purity test people whom you know full well are using colloquialisms.

Oh sorry you're right mods shouldn't do anything to try and make a leftist trans space more welcoming to people 🙄 silly me. I'll just ban anything I don't like and abuse my power rather than wanting to have a discussion. We'll also go back to calling things "gay" to mean undesirable because it was colloquialism. Words don't matter, right? /s

When you intentionally misinterpret people and childishly insult them, as you have done to others in this thread, you debase them more than if you used a word with a "problematic" etymology because you're attacking them directly. When you use histrionics, however, you debase yourself.

"ass" used to mean donkey. Do most people use it to mean donkey now? No. Do some still? Maybe. Terms evolve, it's a big lingusistic thing, happens in every language with speakers

I had to re-read this a few times, but I see what you mean. I'll try to be more direct about what I mean to say.

I'm an attorney and my favorite is pulling up to the courthouse for a motion hearing or trial with tupac blasting

I don't take drugs because of the songs I listen to.

I listen to the songs because I take drugs... And they sound nice. It's mostly because they sound nice

I've had Zeromancer's "doctor online" stuck in my head for around 24 hours. Listening to the classics really puts a lens on how the world has changed in about 20 years.

Bro that's a name I've not heard anyone else say I'm some time.
