"They had used the slur ( this is a regional slur from the UK ) "les" to be shorthand for lesbian,"
ohh so les is a slur in the UK now? what happened to that damn wikipedia link about it being a slur in Vietnam? Sorry I keep on beating this damn horse but I still can't get over it and now this... this is something else! Keep your damn story straight brother.
oh so we’re calling it a uk slur now? does that sort of stink of “I’m going to change the country this is a slur in to a “more important-sounding” country so it seems worse and I seem more right” to anyone else
AYRT it wasnt until after hitting post comment that it even occurred to me but i didnt want to go back and add that in favor of cooling off instead but thank you for bringing it up lmaoo glad it wasnt just me. its just so strange!
Anyone else tired of him using lesbians as an excuse to be a dick to someone? Sorry to him but we have much bigger issues than someone using the word 'les' online...
I tried to be fully fair to him though and consulted my UK lesbian friends and funnily enough, none of them were able to verify the claim of it being a "regional slur" there.
