    Is that offensive enough?

    Most offensive is the “Irish curse.” Having a little dick. That really hurts when mentioned in mixed company.

    Pretty soon we’re going to need a rolling-definitions dictionary.

    You know, keep up to date with the new meanings of words and new politically correct descriptions of things.

    Maybe we can call it the NewSpeak Dictionary?

    We have carp here in some lakes. Went fishing one day and caught a big ass carp. Some Hmongs wandered over and asked if we were going to take it home. We gave it to them and they were thrilled that they had their dinner in the bag. They were afraid that we would be offended. BTW, carp are ugly and creepy. I would be offended if I had to eat one.

    Squawfish are now pike minnows. Who makes up this shit, a squawfish is still a squawfish and always will be. Maybe Elizabeth Warren can become their protector and take up the cause of squawfishdom.

    I guess we’ll need to rechristen all things from China that suck “invasive”. fine by me… we’ll start with labeling it in BIG BOLD LETTERS on every *&%^$@# thing on every shelf in every store in our nation.
