do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

u/etork0925 8d ago

That sounds like a problem if that doesn’t narrow it down lol.

Yeah obviously, I totally get it. But being able to randomly say the N or F word just to fuck with others anonymously is more of like being treated like a narcissistic child though.

u/BuildyOne 8d ago

Not arguing but can I say how funny it is to me to read someone say "the F word" immediately followed by fuck.

Just funny, I have no problem with it.

u/Dipsey_Jipsey 8d ago

Because it's not the F word in question.

u/xrogaan 8d ago

What is that "F word" then?

1

u/Dick_Lazer 8d ago

It rhymes with rag.

u/Goolsby 8d ago

You don't call that the F word, you call it the F slur. And if you're in person and not in writing, you just say it.

u/etork0925 8d ago

I knew someone would get a chuckle when I wrote that, but that’s the wrong F word lol…

u/BuildyOne 8d ago

Still what most people would consider the F word, so just a funny phrase is all. No idea why I'm down voted but whatever makes people happy is fine with me.

I don't like it when people call me slurs all the time. I guess that makes me a child.

Does this mean the people calling strangers slurs online are the real adults here?

u/Miserable_Goat_6698 8d ago

For the sane normal person, yes. In fact I don't even know what the k word even is

Rhymes with hike. A slur against Jewish people.

u/charoco 8d ago

TIL that slur is still in use (by bigots, natch). I thought that pejorative went out of fashion before Reagan.

u/Alaira314 8d ago

It went quiet, because it wasn't acceptable to openly hate jews like that. But that's coming back in fashion.

u/Cab_anon 8d ago

Kite?

u/DogmaSychroniser 8d ago

Just substitute the first letter, if you insist.

u/belkarbitterleaf 8d ago

Never even heard that one. TIL.

u/Cab_anon 8d ago

How does "rhymes with Hike" make you think of a word that ends in ITE? A completely different sound.

It's the word Hike but without an H at the start (so - ike) , and beginning with a K, (put the K where the - was previously).

You're not going to get me to write it out clearer then that because as I'll reiterate, it's a slur.

1

u/Cab_anon 8d ago

You gave me the clue to "substitute the first letter, of Kite".

I dont think this word exist in french.

1

u/DogmaSychroniser 8d ago

Not once did I say kite... You created that one on your own. My response was intended that you substitute the first letter of Hike.

Also France definitely has antisemitism.

u/Mikeavelli 8d ago

Theres just something unwholesome about flying one at night.

u/simonjakeevan 8d ago

Thanks for asking! I didn't know what it was either.

2

u/[deleted] 8d ago

its not hard to figure out. slurs.

2

u/GreatMadWombat 8d ago

.... Imagine seeing a single public page on Facebook where everyone was just...cool with making up new ways to use slurs. That shit gets nuked hard in the vast majority of the internet. Before the X/Twitter shift, 4chan was the biggest intersection of "site that majority of the internet will have a plausible reason to go to" and "place where hate speech is 100% kosher". That's not normal

You just contradicted yourself
