Another Cranky Rant

 

Another Cranky Rant

 


That’s it, I’m taking my gloves off.  I’m tired of walking on word egg-shells and tap dancing around stuff that suddenly became forbidden to waltz through. 

I don’t get it and I’m done.  LGBTQ…wtf? I only can figure out a few of them.  Don’t use the “N” word.  Fine, what is it?  They won’t tell you because to do so would require you to use the actual word.  WTF?  Yeah, I said it, the “F” letter.  Pretty soon you won’t be able to use even the letters.

Oooh!  You said the “F” word letter!  Did you just use the “N” word letter instead of the “you know what”?  That means you are the “R” word!

Just now I read where an “L” word soccer player said in a ten-year-old tweet that she thought a certain ladies eyes looked like the “A” word.  Apparently, that was the “R” word, except I’ll bet the “L” word lady meant it as a compliment.  These days even a compliment can be deemed as “R” word.

Well, now I am fed up with the use of the “O” word.  You know the word.  I’m pretty sure it is used in a pejorative way.

He drives an “O” word car.  How is that meant to be nice.  It is pejorative.  I am 75 years the “O” word.  That can’t be meant in a nice way otherwise why would people sometimes say I am 75 years “young?”

I am offended by the use of the “O” word.  Well, not that “O” word, the other one. 

You know!

That “O” word is a good thing, it is the other “O” word I don’t like.  I am not sure if “He is the “O” word but he can still the “O” word” is good or not.  I think I object to the first “O” word.

Anyway, my thoughts just drifted.  Maybe because I am getting seasoned.  I am, after all, 75 years seasoned.

That’s it, from now on I declare the “O” word to be offensive.  You know, the offensive “O” word, not the other one. 

I prefer “Seasoned.”

If you disagree then you need to be cancelled!

I decree that from now on we use “Seasoned” instead of the offensive “O” word!

 

What?  I have to change the name of this blog?  That would be a pain in the “A” word.  Pretty sure that “seasoned” would only soon become the “S” word anyway.

So, never mind.

I apologize to anyone I may have offended by my use of several offensive letters.   I am ashamed of my insensitive self and intend to be better in the future.  I intend to attend sessions with a “C” (Not that “C”) in order to become a better version of myself.

I am sorry.

  1. I was doing okay until the O word. I’m clueless!

  2. People have gone overboard with this offends me that offends me, etc. I think it is our inheritance from helicopter parenting which has been going on for much longer than people think. I started teaching in 1978 and it was a thing from the beginning. I can understand why someone would not want their child to suffer. But looking back I think dealing with things when you are young makes it easier to adapt as you get more seasoned. ;=)
    As far as the "r" word. My developmentally delayed brother hates it. Ironic in that people don't know what developmentally delayed means. Wherever I go, my brother goes with me. It gets irritating when some med tech at the eye doctor's office is difficult about him going in the exam room with me. And they don't understand developmentally delayed. Good thing I am the b word which means I don't rollover to a no if it is not practical.

    1. There are two possible R words and I don't think joeh meant the one you do. Which my sister also is.

    2. Yes, that "R" word replaced the "I" word and then became the "S" word and now I believe is the "DC" word...I think, it is hard to keep up with. I think the "DC" should stick and is the most accurate and least offensive, but I may be behind the times.

  3. I'd tell you, but I'm afraid to use the word.

  4. I have a feeling what you just did was brilliant but I think I am beyond seasoned for I got lost at the soccer episode till the end. Sigh.

  5. I actually could follow along with all the words. Crank Seasoned Man just doesn't have the appeal like Crank Old Man, so glad that you didn't change the name of the blog. Hubby and me call each other the R word at times, mostly in jest, as it seems everything is being labeled it these days. Interesting days we are living in.

    betty

  6. I'm just plain tired of trying to figure out what I can say or I can't say without offending someone. So I just go merrily along in my own little bubble and say whatever.

  7. While i try to be tactful, no one can obey all of their rules. They do that on purpose, sad, sorry little people that they are. Just pray for them and let them alone.

  9. I like the idea of being seasoned. I've got the salt and pepper (seasoned) hair at least.

  10. I'd say you'd have to change your blog name to The Cranky Seasoned Man, but there's the MAN problem. So Cranky Seasoned Person. WAIT! The SON part... so maybe The Cranky Seasoned Human. NO! There it is again, the MAN part. I don't know. Maybe The Cranky Seasoned Entity might work.

    1. Have to leave out "The," because of last two letters - and forget about so-called gender-inclusive "tHEir" or "tHEm," when referring to mixed company. We don't want to offend ;/

      Terrific blog, joeh:)

  11. That's one thing about being O. Nobody expects us to keep up with (or care about) all of the newly designated offensive stuff that supposedly hurts so many delicate and ridiculously over-sensitive feelings. As for me, if something I say can be interpreted as either offensive or non-offensive, rest assured I meant it in the non-offensive way. Um, unless you deliberately cut me off in traffic... :)

  12. You know, you're right on with all that you said. I can't wait till I get to be like 80 or 85 when I plan to take off all my filters and just say it as it is.

  13. In a world obsessed with media and publicity people are keen to take offence at anything.

    God bless.

    (I feel deeply offended ... I don't know why!)

  14. All said and done I fail to understand how the F word gets into many people's daily vocabulary.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hahahahahahahaha!!! This is so F-ing true! You know I drop the F bomb occasionally... Lol. I don't know what the big deal is. It's not like I'm expecting someone to literally F off altho that would be super funny to witness! Or if you're in public and mutter the F word to yourself and everyone around you starts F-ing. Hahahaha. That would be hilarious. - I do like the idea of canceling that one "O" word. Seasoned sounds way cooler. - Happy Weekend!

  16. oh dear i am exhausted with power of being offensive people started to have .where to go now ?

    i felt comfortable that i don't know the actual sources of words you mentioned here except few that i used to here in shows or movies sigh .
    all i can say that it is totally up to us how we take things ,so giving such meaningless stuff more importance is unhealthy
