I can definitely agree that comments from your family being 10000 times worse. "She has giant calves. Your Dad had like disgustingly huge calves". Oh I'm aware, mostly because my whole life I was told I got my father's (who I don't even know BTW! ) big forehead and huge calves. THANKS SO MUCH!
If I live past 78, I will do whatever the fuck I want. Obviously, I won't be racist, though. Mostly I'm gonna eat ice cream for breakfast and maybe cut in line and pretend I don't notice there actually is a line. Stuff like that.

Yeah a 97 year old does not give a shit. For sure.
For me, at least, it isn't about the 97 year old's education. It is for DS (if he is present). It's a teachable moment about speaking up for others as well as acceptable language.
But I am not going to sit here and flame anyone who doesn't correct granny because I get that doing it for her sake is pointless.

And I totally see this point. It's making the statement, not whether it is actually constructive to the person.
Exactly. But, as I've said, I am not going to sit here and argue either way. This is simply one way to handle it and the reasoning behind it. kwim?

When I turn 85 I plan to start smoking again - though I'm sure it will be like $25/pack if not outlawed by then.
I will drinks strawberry dacquiris with my lunch and eat oatmeal cream pies whenever I want.
I don't have much of a filter now, so there's no telling what might fly out of my mouth when I'm an old lady. (hopefully not my teeth)

There's one great grandma left between me and DH. She only says off stuff to the grandkids like "you better be a nice kid and hug me." Then maybe they do or don't and if they don't immediately she gets huffy to their face "do you have an attitude problem or something?" To a 2 year old.
None of us force the hug issue with our kids so I suppose she'll die thinking they are all unloving brats.
I only knew one of my grandparents, never met the rest, and they're all gone now so I don't even know why I waded into it. All I know is that, about anything and everything, old people DGAF

I read the whole thing and missed H penis talk.

I don't care of specific dick talk cause I am not going to sleep with any of your husbands cause girl code and all that but I don't want to know cause if you tell me it's tiny and bad I might be like "aw man" everytime I read a post from you.
Or if you tell me how "good and perfect size" for you it is when you post too cheery I will be like there goes that bitch @Inkogneetoh and she probably just dismounted off the dick.
I have experienced this exact sentiment toward posters on TB before.
To be fair, she did say she didn't know if they were Japs or Chinamen. So at least she knew they weren't all Oriental.
I also legitimately don't know what is/isn't a slur, but obviously the correct term would be Chinese or Japanese or Laoisian or Malaysian or whatever country they are from.

OMG I can hear my grandparents when I see the above disfavored phrases. I am not sure that Oriental has always been derogatory though-I *think* it was the appropriate term at one point.
All businesses should have a drive thru window. Hell, I wish my job had a drive thru window.
UO!...to me...because you cannot walk through drive throughs and I don't have a car.
I've always found this kind of odd. Can you ride a bike through a drive-thru?
I would be really pissed if there were a 24-hour drive thru but the restaurant wasn't open and I wanted food at 2 am and I was on foot.
One time we were drunk and we convinced them to let us because there was no one else around. I'm sure it's a liability to let people walk through...because cars might hit them?
I tried to get a cab to go through the drive thru once and he was a dick about it and said no. Jerk.

I am on a quote spree. I was in Memphis and walked through the drive through next to our hotel at like 2 a.m. because the actual restaurant part was closed. I took the whole route the cars do, spoke into the radio menu thing and came up to get my food. They refused to serve it to me when they saw I was on foot.
I took a class in college one time and forgot to do the assigned reading before our discussion session. Everyone kept talking about JAPs and I sat there in shock as I'd only ever heard old men that were around during WWII use that term and was sure that it was not appropriate. Took me a while to catch onto it standing for Jewish American Princess - thank goodness I wasn't asked to contribute to the discussion that day or thinks could have gone horribly wrong.
Also, my grandparents are gone - but when it comes to old people I tend to weigh the offense against the amount of respect I would normally have for them and determine if it's worth saying anything. Thankfully other than reminding dh's grandma to call a brazil nut by it's proper name we haven't had any issues.

Re: UO
So you are always eating stew?
Like, it can't cook a whole chicken with veggies and potatoes.
I told you, I own two crockpots and have never used them or had a meal from one ever. Just dips.

Thanks for the crockpot education guys. I will be trying something soon. Maybe I will start with stew.

Well, and I was clearly not sober.
