So even trap house is offensive to some people now, and now this person who is not even white is being expected to apologize......

None of these terms below are officially considered slurs, but some liberals are offended by them. Which of these do YOU find offensive?????

None.

I'm not a Lib.

Trap House? That's a new oneā€”Never heard of it.

Some are offended by Mother, Father. Don't forget those.

None of them. Throughout my long life, I've made it a habit not to be offended by anything or anyone. And life's taught me to take nothing personally.

Names can hurt me but I get over it.
I don't have much trouble with what people say just what they do.

The 32% of voters who were offended by anything on that list are thin skinned loonies.

It must be rough to go through life being so thoroughly offended by such little things. But, I guess that's how they create democrats from previously functional people.

In a rational world, people who are offended by anything on that last should be given the option of a mercy killing to end their unspeakable suffering instead of having to live on through such "devastating" emotional trauma.

I wonder if our founding fathers and those who tamed the west suffered from such emotional frailty?

None of these terms are offensive to me, but there are a few I don't like to use.

Girls: I use this term to describe pretty much every female in existence. But I know that some ladies don't care for it, so if I'm speaking of an adult female while in mixed company, I'll use lady or woman.

Old Lady: I tend to find this term to be disrespectful, so I don't use it to describe my wife. In the poll, I chose this word to be one that I consider offensive, even though "offensive" is too strong of a word to describe how I feel about it.

Trap House: I don't know that that is. Is it another term for "Lady of Ill Repute House"?

Kung Flu: It was kind of funny the first couple times, but its humor value has worn off for me.

China Virus: It's too imprecise for my liking, in that China is a huge, and highly populous place. I much prefer the term "Wuhan Virus" because it's much more specific. I find "Wuhan Virus" to be no more offensive than "Lyme Disease."
