damn, dude, you associate "That's Gay!" with your 8 year old brother. I associate it with... my entire graduating class except my close friends. Also, some people here, as enlightened as they pretend to be.

When I was in jr. high(97-98ish), it became a Thing to refer to stuff as "Jewish" rather than "gay." I'm not sure how it got started, but since we didn't have any Jewish kids at my school, it continued for awhile. Doesn't really say a whole lot about us, other than that we were stupid, which kids are pretty much supposed to be.

I prefer to call stupid things communist.  Something I got from my friend.  At least it's a little less touchy.

My friends tend to use "republican" as the all-purpose indicator of scorn/egregiousness.

In high school "texan" was pretty popular, too.

Interestingly, Marvel Comics finally admitted that The Thing is Jewish.

Was lapsed but recently finally got Bar Mitzied.

Which makes sense, considering he once shared a show with the Flintstones and hence was clearly born before Jesus.

The Thing is Jewish, huh? What will the Yancy street gang have to say about that?

I had a friend who did this in high school (around the same time period, maybe a little before). 

We shunned him until he stopped.  I guess that's the difference between twelve and seventeen.

Likewise, a member of my circle of friends in H.S. started using a phrase such as "that teacher totally jewed me out of that grade".  Ostracism was finally effective after about 4 months.  He'd swear not to do it, lapse, get uninvited to a party, tell us we're all dicks, ask to hang out after a few weeks.  Rinse repeat.

As long as were being anti-semetic, i have a story:
Friend to professor Schwartz: "you totally jewed me out of those points"
Professor Schwartz: "Oh Jamie....ehh... you can't say things like that, I mean, in business...ehhh...Thats not a thing to say"
Friend: "ok... You totally Schwartzed me out of those points"

In Alaska I was at a Halo party and one of the douches there said, "You totally Jewed me outta that!"

I yelled at him. Quite a lot. He was rather surprised, and got really embarrassed and apologized profusely.

After that, I was lending my Ween album to his sister, who was closer to my age. It has a song called "Reggaejunkiejew", and Steph was like, "Somebody nice, don't you find this offensive??"

"Uh, no, what?"

"I thought you were Jewish?" (pointing to "Reggaejunkiejew" track listing)

"No, Dean & Gene aren't racist or anti-Semetic, it's just a song...also, I'm not Jewish, I just get pissed at people who are racist."

My sister is a teacher, and she has laid down the law in her classroom that kids aren't allowed to say, "That's so GAY!" or Jewish or anything like that.

[oball]

Where do you stand on niggerfaggot?

[KeithHernandez]

Ween is pretty anti-pc.  Your interpretation may differ, but you know, I just mainly think they are boring and immature.


"haha we can't deall with issues so we will try to be graphic and racist.  People will interpret this as proving a point."

[theinevitable]

yeah, um, they are a horrible band.

the whole "anti-PC" thing makes me want to cap someone.

I got in a big argument the other day with my friend, though, over whether there are some things that I am just "not allowed to joke about" as a white male. I feel like... I am allowed to joke about whatever the fuck I want. She is allowed to get mad at me, but, joking about things is a valid form of discourse. she said that this is, obviously, my opinion only because I am and have always been in a position of power in our society. This is... probably valid? but it set off some major pissed-off reactions.

[KeithHernandez]

You can joke about whatever you want, in my opinion, just don't try to sell it to me on top of average music that is almost kind of supposed to say something.

Obviously, what you joke about may be interpreted by people to make certain generalizations about you, though.  So, you know, whatever you are comfortable with.

Yeah, that pisses me off too - that for a while there it was starting to look like the only people it was okay to make fun of and crack jokes about would be white, middle class males. Then people like Dave Chappelle came around, and it became okay to make fun of black people again, but only if you were black. As a member of Whitey, I'm still only allowed to make fun of my own kind. Everything else is racism, sexism, etc.

Fuck that shit.
