Ms. Mealy projects a cluelessness so profound that it leaves me speechless. DD

This could be fun. Imagine schoolkids having to say "H-word Chi Minh". It'll make them mad enough to start calling their teacher "b-word", but she can't complain because they're not calling her a "bitch".
This is what happens when you try to ban words without considering the context: people will just change or substitute words.
Then the lawmakers get to play an unwinnable game of catch-up. The list of banned words could get very long.
What about "good" words used in a bad context? The lawmakers will have to ban them words, too. "Bitch" used to be a good word. Expect to see the banning of "chick", "baby", and any plural word for fruit (peaches, melons, etc.) -

My reading, speaking, writing, and understanding vocabularies are large, extensive, eclectic, and rich. Poetry, prose, and non-fiction expository writing come easy to me, and while a Naval Officer and later a high school and finally university English teacher, I became adept at suiting my diction and its seasoning to my audience.
For 4 years I taught AP and Dual Enrollment English classes in high school, so such words as bitch, ho, and other demeaning or derogatory terms were verboten. In fact, when a discussion called for me to use a particularly uncomplimentary word for a woman, I often came up with completely acceptable terms which both intrigued and stimulated audiences. A woman of questionable moral character could be a camp follower, or a slattern, or a, trollop, or a harlot. I found that uncommon or unusual terminology often made the point somehow clearer, classier, and certainly more permanent, since the students were forced either to look up the term or ask somebody what it meant.
I’m not exactly averse to the use of pejorative slanguage; in fact, at times I find that a simple “FUCK OFF!” or “UP YOURS!” or “What an asshole!” or “Hopeless wanker!” makes a greater impression than a long-winded diatribe comprised of grammatically perfect syntax and multisyllabicated sesquipedalianism.
Still, my early upbringing makes referring to most ladies as hos or bitches or such actually distasteful to me in the majority of situations. On the other hand, certain terms just seem to resonate and carry enormous denotative weight and connotative moment. Some of my favorites are clueless cunt (Barbra Streisand), stupid cow (Cindy Sheehan), and perfidious twat (Nancy Pelosi). A few aren’t even true profanity but are impossible to misconstrue, such as Hildebeast or just plain “Rosie.”
A word is simply a communication tool. Each has a pure, primary meaning; most have a string of secondary or regional or colloquial applications; and all have varying degrees of implications as patois, jargon, nonce, or neologistic invention.
I’ve been called a lot of things in my life, and I noticed early that if I didn’t react to what was clearly designed to piss me off, the frequency of use always diminished, often to zero. The best axiom for the hurt value of words is “He who can anger you can control you.” -

Someone needs to give that woman a dictionary. I suggest she looks up the following words... Cranial, Rectal, envelopment. Controlling the words people use is one step away from policing thought.
"Sooo... what are dog breeders going to call their female dogs now??"
Well the logical step would be surrogate bilogocal dog mother. Isn't it fun to dumb down the english language for those to ignorant to comprehend its true meaning just so no one gets hurt feelings?
Darlene Mealy is a stupid bitch. -

Obviously the N.Y. city council has an excess amount of time on their hands, apparently enough time that they can appoint themselves the vocabulary police. I seldom use the word bitch, however, I may start to expand on such usuage, for spite if nothing else. Afterall, I need to use selective language at times to futher my point. By my own admission; Obsenity is a crutch for inarticulate motherfuckers.

As long as they don't ban the words "affirmative action" and "parasite", we'll still be able to communicate and black people will be free to continue to search for a cure to cancer. Or mug people and deal dope at Third and Pine in Seattle, whatever they prefer to do: it's a free country.
