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.
Where does it end? Allowing anyone with a claim to offense at any derogatory language that is not directed at them? There will be nothing left to use.
More prescient, the Public will reject us if we do as such, and the fascists will take advantage and take our ground. They already have, it's partly why we LOST.
No one agrees with this bullshit, this is what animates people to vote republican.
Well, let me use the very favorite expression of Lemmy. "If ya let nazis into a bar..."
