I meant to hear his take on the idea of offending someone with this sort of language and then saying it was just a joke.

I see kids every day that are openly insulting, abusive and harrassing of each other, and they say "I'm just joking" like it's aget out of jail free card.

The word in this chase is interesting on it's own. We have, at this time in our society a word that people of one race can use with impunity, but when used another race is racist. Granted it was interesting to hear of it's cross racial application in Zyb's neck of the woods.

Gotta love the English language.

p.s. on that note, thanks to Mayhem for the Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo link.
