Let’s say a man decides to change his last name for no other reason than he hates his dad’s last name, and that dad refuses to call his son by his new last name. Then, in my opinion, his son should be 100% allowed to call him any mean name or slur he wants—‘dick,’ ‘shithead,’ the R slur, whatever. You shouldn’t get to disrespect people and expect respect back, so if this person gets called a slut and gets mad, I really can’t feel sympathy for him.

    "I tied an onion to my belt, as was the fashion at the time. "

    Language isn’t static. Once most people use a word differently, that word changes. Get over it or get used to being incorrect.

    I’m gonna go pet my billybong now.

      My billybong is an orange asshole with one brain cell that he shares with all of the other orange billybongs.

      I love my orange billbong, fiercely.
