I no longer think of that word as referring to females when used as an insult.  It applies more to effeminate DUmmie males.

8. No. It's the perfect slight for bullies IMHO.

But I'll use "Yellow" or "gutless" if makes you happier.

33. I didn't want to annoy you

so I stated it that way.

To expand on that... I am guilty of slinging that term... I reserve it for the most loathsome... like Ted Nugent. Because he's a *****.

I do not understand why the word ***** is bad.

Anyone that knows cats knows these little beasts are born fighters and hunters.

Why the term went into woman's body parts is odd, has to be a reason but unless that part of the body grows claws and fangs, it is really misnamed. 

***** Cats are fierce ,mean and nothing to fool around with.   How this came to be called weak and mild is beyond me.  Actually being called a ***** should mean a fighter to the death.

I am in shock, I would have thought that you of all people would have known where the origin of the word ***** being used for what it is came from.

I know this is a stupid question, but what is wrong with these people?  Yeah, just leave it rhetorical, I guess.    :banghead: :banghead:

You say "*****" like it's a bad thing.
