Lol so dc universe is awful at the essential thing that made marvel universe super profitable, which is super great contract negotiations with actor agents that let the producers screw the actors of really great wages which were previously demanded for selling the gently caress out

After seeing the preview I was amazed that this video didn't feature some monumental pooch screw on the part of the Broncos.

https://stronglang.wordpress.com/2017/11/12/fu-ckoi-or-saying-gently caress-on-the-radio-in-canada/ - Radio station plays a clip of Madonna from the Women's March where she says “And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything … gently caress you.” - Listener hears dreaded "f-word" on the radio, becomes offended, and complains. - Radio station responds with "It's actually a pretty common word now and isn't really vulgar anymore." - Listener elevates complaint. - The ruling is "They're right. It's not very vulgar anymore." - Changes rules so that saying 'gently caress' on the radio does not violate ethics codes.

I'm so glad that Canadians are finally allowed to swear, they've all been so patient about it. e: never mind, looks like it's just for the Francophones. YggiDee has a new favorite as of 09:45 on Nov 13, 2017 |

RatHat posted:Wait spaz is considered a slur now? I thought it was just a shortening of the word spastic.  These collection boxes used to be commonplace to collect money for the Spastics Society, which supported Cerebal Palsy. Kids being kids, it soon became a term of abuse. See also 'retarded' to mean 'mentally disabled', now the US slur is 'retard' and 'mongoloid' to mean 'Down Syndrome sufferer', now the UK slur is 'mong' (looking at you, Ricky Gervais) Basically, people are dicks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Deacon quote:Blue Peter and cultural impact

Interestingly radio in the UK doesn't have a watershed like tv. Stations self regulate as they see fit. On radio 4 dramas they regularly have swearing in the morning/afternoon because they have a majority adult audience.

Yeah that is how I know it too, as a term for someone who is running up the walls with excitement. I knew it was worse in the UK but did not know the palsy connection.

Yeah that was pretty much the context I mostly heard it in too. Occasionally it would be used to mean something like nerdy, but a step beyond.

EH Games, the company behind the new Star Wars Battlefront 2 game was trying to defend themselves on Reddit because in addition to buying their $60 game, you have to grind for about 40 hours in order to play as Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader. Unless you don't have time, then you can just buy a bunch of loot boxes with real money. They see this as a mark of pride and achievement. People are naturally displeased which lead to the thread becoming Reddit's all time most downvote thread at around 269k downvote and growing. https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/7cff0b/seriously_i_paid_80_to_have_vader_locked/dppum98

So you could swear on air and not face a fine. Obviously people will still complain and local stations can set policies forbidding swears.

Makes me think of how recently the word 'dick' became ok to say on tv so now it seems in practically every episode of every prime time show they say dick at least once.
