A trowel is a trowel. (But then you have to get into the whole argument about whether it's a gardening trowel, aka a hand trowel; or a mason's trowel; or a notched trowel; or a grout float, and whether that's actually a trowel or not (not to mention the gardening trowel...))

No, no, no. A trowel is something you use to dry off with after taking a shrower.

As for your spade comment KJUN. I think I brought up that saying once in another thread, as it was used at me in the same sentence. I really honestly have no other interpretation other than it being a spade like a shovel. I see it as calling something like it is, and no other meaning. This however is nothing like the "lynching" word, because I don't think you can honestly say you had no idea of it's racial connotation. I'm not saying you particularly used it as a racially charged term, but I can't ignore the obvious to exempt the outrageous remark geared towards pres. Obama.
If somehow "calling a spade a spade" is a remark seen as offensive, then I was honestly unaware of that interpretation entirely, and will choose a new garden tool to reference.

Maybe I do need to make a list or start a poll. But I suppose the whole idea is to de-demonize a word/words.

Michael, you're young, and I am glad to know that you do not know what the old slang of that word was used for.
You are my indicator that old ugly mean slang is disappearing from the vernacular.

To be replaced by even worse,....I am sure.
 
I guess I'm just too young to know I'm not supposed to use the word lynch....lol.

Speaking of KKK, y'all likely know we are apiarists. We've got the white bee suits with (screen) hoods hanging in the closet. The company we buy from puts a patch on the left chest portion that fades from black and red to a navy (dark blue) and red. Yeah, it looks like a battle flag on a white "sheet" with a hood if you don't notice the screen mesh on the front of the hood. I laughed the first time I hung up all the suits. I remember thinking, "20-something years in LA, and I don't get THIS look in my closet until moving to central Texas. Go figure."

Honestly, I started to put a sign saying, "These are BEE SUITS" in the closet in case I was burglarized. I could just see someone breaking in to steal something and then burning the whole house down because they openned that closet and jumped to the wrong conclusion. That would be "real funny," wouldn't it?

I could see the article, "Local beekeeper victim of hate crime." Not funny.

Man, you are really good at calling others names - and supporting of profanity - but as soon as someone hurts you or picks on you, it's whining to the moderators that "they are being mean to me!" LOL. Be nice - I pay taxes to your so-loved Obama!

Hey I have the "insult equivelancy" chart opened up in another browser, and by my calculations I still owe you a few more names. I'm on a 60 point system, and "prick" is only worth 4 points. I can get it over with and just call you a **** *** ** **** *** **** ***** ****** ***** ** ****, or save my points by repping those who say it for me. BTW, you weren't supposed to decode that message; it's top secret!!.

It amazes me that a moderator of this great forum can make comments that she did and still retain being a moderator. QUOTE]

I believe a moderator, in the job of moderator, has the duty to enforce the rules that the site owner has set. Any of the moderators also have the right to personal opinions which they can state to their hearts' content, as long as they also follow the rules Rich has set. They aren't required to be a moral guide, AFAIK.

I don't have time to see if this post was followed by a hundred bleeping pandas. Susan and I are at polar opposites of the political spectrum. I have family who are at least as ideologically different, and I don't confront them. Changing minds is exhausting work-- work that I've never volunteered to do. You all may think that modding fellow mods is some sworn duty that I'd be remiss in not performing, but I don't really give a crap about that. She didn't present her opinions as a mod. Lesser things have gone ignored. If some of you insist, here's an informal warning to Susan: try not to inflame your opposition with charged language. That should be good enough, since one of the two post reporters could have had his gluteals booted from here long ago if this was a less tolerant discussion board.

How much less fun would this BS be without real opposition? Would you go somewhere else for entertainment? Argue your points, and act like grown-ups. Cornsnake-board politics aren't going to change the world.

So by positively identifying one item (KJ), is that implicit omission that there is any one else on this thread that you respect? :D ;)

I wasn't sure if you had a gun in your pocket or were merely happy to see me. Though I do understand it is important to always have a backup plan. Thank you for the offer. I gleefully accept. Perhaps others might care to offer themselves as additional backup plans in case youse's bullets turn out to be blanks. Just in case. I don't like to a-word things.

Yes, and like a spade, one can stick it in the dirt.

I'm so not-so-good with this kind of expert professional photo manipulation.

But how did you manage it with two male panda's Dave?

Just a little wesson oil and a picture of Pamela Anderson posing with a laptop showing the graphic picture/s here and "nature took it's course", to quote a cliche.

;D

My lady has been convinced of my complete lack of bicuriousity, so bring on the jelly! I love you in the most mannish way, Dad! :cheers:
 
Yea, I talked to your lady. That is pretty much what she told me as well. I was impressed.

Eric, your de-demonizing project made me think of this.

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ample use of eff-word and examples of racial slurs!!

Thank you, Nanci.

I was just resuscitated (brought back to conscious from a mild stroke) by my secretary Tiffany Thistlewhite, you know, the tranny.
Ddoohhhh!!!! Another one of those minority "charged" offensive words. *slaps own face*

Yes, I've seen photos of Tiffany. She's an insult to transmissions everywhere.

Wait, what?
