NY Has Officially Lost It's Mind Bitch

It’s a Female Dog, or Worse. Or Endearing. And Illegal?

The New York City Council, which drew national headlines when it passed a symbolic citywide ban earlier this year on the use of the so-called n-word, has turned its linguistic (and legislative) lance toward a different slur: bitch.

"The term is hateful and deeply sexist, said Councilwoman Darlene Mealy of Brooklyn, who has introduced a measure against the word, saying it creates “a paradigm of shame and indignity” for all women.

free. speech.

or the beginning of the end of it. Now every damn group with their own little BS catch phrase or word that they don't like is gonna start lobbying for it to be banned. Total BS Eff 'em all - bitches.

If I saw her on the street I would HAVE to say "Nigga' you a' bitch".

Oh that's just silly. Individual words shouldn't be banned.

I hate that in my country it is actually a breach of the peace to say 'fuck' in public. It's a hangup from the Victorians. Very, very rarely acted upon. But I do recall one time a guy got fined £50 for swearing on the street.

OMG... FUCK THAT!!!
& it is NOT for the chillin'!

If they can't ban it will they require it be spayed?

If you say that, you better make sure they know which spelling you're using.

Although, my local paper (the Daily Mistake) once advertised spade bagel puppies.

Reminds me of a particularly bruising sign I once saw posted in the unclassified bit of a NavSecGru building, the sense of which was "your suggestions will help a lot." The poor bustard who wrote it found himself hung upon the horns of a dilemma in Homonym Hell:

He wrote it Y O U apostrophe R.

Dear God, they let this niblick graduate from high school??

English Nazis are alive and prolific. Irrelevant was the author's point. His spelling error created no confusion or distortion. But English Nazis, like Religion Police, must protect us from ourselves. Screw the purpose of his sentence. Crucify him anyway. Clearly he must be a false prophet! Consider the source when asking for relevance.

Why would anyone attack "the poor bustard" over a silly apostrophe? And what relevance does that accusation have to NYC and the word 'bitch'? Well both are about making personal attacks. One would ban intentional insults using the word ‘bitch’. The other endorses insults justified by the political agenda of English Nazis.

Why so much personal hate and mockery because of a misplaced apostrophe?

Hahahahaha

Definitely up there -- or down there -- with that band of concerned citizens who browbeat a city administration into firing an employee who publicly characterized some undesirable as "niggardly." These incompetents were certain it was a racial slur and would hear no different. Some mules are just made for two-by-fours.

Please tell me that's a joke...

[Urbane Guerrilla]

In a way, yes it is a joke. A joke on people so incompetent with a dictionary that they were willing, all unawares, to declare it in public.

A Good Article on this and other instances of people being about as smart as PeTA was about the upstate NY town of Fish Kill.
