Dildo throwing rebels hold Paiute artifacts hostage, refer to native peoples as "savages"

First, thank you. I was going to find that gif, but you beat me to it. :slightly_smiling:

Second, @Mister44, this conversation reminds me of when kids say “dam the river” as a way of technically getting away with something they have been told not to say (damn vs. dam). And while the technicalities may be true, there is still a giant, “I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE” hanging over the statement.

Words can hold many meanings. And as a wordsmith I am unsympathetic to those that ignore the most common or powerful meaning of a word.

Or, just Wheaton’s Law.
