So that makes it ok? Because it's common to use being gay as an insult? Think about that for a sec.
So why did ya put in "Another one that is" if you were just using a figure of speech?
Yes. Fuck off.
Yeah, I'm trying to purge similar language from my own vocabulary. Growing up, that was just the language we used. Thinking about now, it really doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean, the world would be a better place if a few more people sucked a few more dicks. The last thing I want to do is portray dick-eatery as some sort of degrading act.
"Suck start a shotgun" is my usual replacement. But, while sufficiently vulgar, the implied violence doesn't seem to match the intent here.
"Fellate a futon" is quite apropos, but doesn't have quite the same punch.
"Suck the shit out of Donny's Diaper" is the best I can come up with. I suppose that could theoretically be considered offensive to incontinent-Americans. However, I've shat myself on rare occasions, and I don't think a reasonable person would consider the command to be derogatory of me and my fellow pants-shitters. Certainly not as disrespectful of the shitter as it is to the Corporal Couchfucker. The thought of him eagerly slurping up Don's dirty skivvies adequately portrays the depth of my disgust for Vance.
Yep, my thoughts exactly. Here on Lemmy, people talk about inclusion, yet they still throw around gay slurs as an insult. Being gay isn't an insult. At all. For anyone.
Thank you for saying it much better than I did!
