Funny words you used as a kid.

[Ha Ha Ha Holeee Shit!]

Used to call black toddlers Niglets, still do actually. Also called them Tar babies. Still do that too.

Calling stuff we didn't like "gay" and calling people we didn't like "homos" and "faggots."

Oh yeah, that's been a tough, tough habit to break, too, even well into adulthood.

In first grade I started calling people jerk-offs. My cousin gave me a cassette of Dice. I thought it was like calling someone a jerk but with some stank on it.

Calling stuff we didn't like "gay" and calling people we didn't like "homos" and "faggots." Not exactly original, but it's funny how there was a push to get younger people to not use those words, which just made us say them more. PSAs like this just had the opposite effect:


I know people still talk like that in anonymous comments, but I wonder if younger people these days have actually internalized this nonsense. Gen Z is even douchier than my generation so it wouldn't surprise me.

I talk to a lot of young people. They all passively believe anything in the news is real, but they also make fun of gay people if you make it known it's acceptable to do so in front of you without flipping out.

Calling anything or anyone that was poor or of low quality, "pov". "What a pov backpack" "that poof's so pov"

I liked to call my friends gaywads. No idea where I heard it or where it came from

"Gaylord" was the big one when I was a lad. Has some gravitas, some weight to it.

I remember laughing my balls off when the Nashville Predators first played in the Gaylord Arena and it was written on the ice and on the ice of NHL 99.

The absolute apex of comedy, circa 1990.

We hadn't the slightest clue about jewishness or anything like that beyond basic holocaust talking points, but I vividly remember calling each other "jewish" as an insult. "Hatian" was also used among blacks to insult one another deeply.
