Heaven forbid you ask for a ****** and pea bap at a chippy hahaha or go out for a fag if you smoke. See the forum even edited the term for a ball of meat and onion made by Brains in a nice onion gravy

Well to be fair Fag and ******s are more American slurs than British.
Edit: Interesting that fag gets through the filter but ****** doesn’t!

Re: Pronouns

Really? I don’t use that word at all in my oral or written conversations with people.
In which context would you use that word?
If it’s offensive, forget I asked..

Well around here its another term for cigarette, almost no one actually says "cigarette"
People 'go for a fag break', or 'smoke fags', or 'go for a fag', or 'did you plan that on the back of a fag packet'.

Re: Pronouns
In my place of employment use of the word “fag” in that context is discouraged.
Not banned, just discouraged.
AFAIK nobody has complained about the discouragement.

I suspect that people inwardly object and are rather timid to object to "discouraged". What form does this "discouragement" take?

Trying to control common language ? Wow ......
Fortunately, I dont work for such an apparently stupid company.
Of course no one has complained, if thats an example of your employers attitude, they probably think they'd get fired.

Re: Pronouns
Lol I’m loving the snowflake drama and overreactions!
No, nobody is trying to control anyone’s language. Nobody has been sacked or disciplined for using that word. Hell even I used it in conversation once and I’ve been promoted 3 times in 8 years.

I actually suspect nobody inwardly complains as there’s no consequences for using the word “fag” in that context.
Discouraged: as far as I’m aware they get asked if they’re aware it can have offensive connotations to some. If they reply with anything along the lines of “well where I come from it’s harmless” then that’s fair enough and it ends right there.

If you are discouraging something then you are trying to control it.

'snowflake drama and overreactions' ?
I think you must be reading a different thread.
Still, in this one its time to get back to the actual topic.
