faggot. I don't know. A lot of words that are they're not bad words. No words are bad, but some people start using them a lot to hurt other people and then they become bad, they become hard to use. There are words that I love that I can't use because other people use them wrong to hurt other people. Like the word cunt is a beautiful word. To me, there's just beauty in that word. And I don't I mean aesthetically. It's it's has to it's like chocolatey and round on the ends. I just like the word cunt, I just like the way it sounds. And I don't use it as an in I'm I'm alone in the laundry. I'm like cunt, cunt, I just like saying it. I would never call a woman a cunt except for my mom because she likes this for some weird reason. But it's a very misused word. It's supposed to mean vagina, which I don't think works at all because vaginas are so sweet. They're little pretty things with little flower pedally lips and I hear a piccolo in my head every time I see a vagina. Even vaginas are too harsh, for they should be called like a Even there should be a butterfly fluttering around every vagina all the time. Just all the time, little butterfly. You go to the doctor, he's like well, the butterfly looks good, so we're in good shape, good color to the butterfly. How do you look at something that pretty and say that's a cunt. That doesn't fit at all. Maybe if it was a giant vagina and it was attacking a town and throwing buses around and knocking over telephone poles. Then you could say, somebody shoot that cunt with a bazooka. It's gonna step on the candy store. So faggot, cunt. Everybody has different words that offend them, different things that they hear that they get offended by. I to me, the thing that offends me the most is every time that I hear the N-word. Not nigger by the way, I mean the N-word. Literally, whenever a white lady on CNN with nice hair says, the N-word, that's just white people getting away with saying nigger. That's all that is. They've found a way to say nigger. N-word. It's bullshit because when you say the N-word, you put the word nigger in the listener's head. That's what saying a word is. You say the N-word and I go, oh she means nigger. You're making me say it in my head. Why don't you fucking say it instead and take responsibility for the shitty words you want to say.
