Just IMO but "faggoty" has a better ring than "faggy".

All for it. One of my favorite expressions of astonishment is “Are you RETARDED?!”

When my son hit middle school I was shocked by how toxic the word ‘faggot’ and ‘fag’ had become. They would talk about ‘the f word’ meaning that. No problem saying fuck.
I’m particularly curious how/when that change occurred. It’s easy to see us as a generation apart but there were kids every year between me and him. How did it go from ubiquitous (we said that word 20 times a day) to verboten? What’s the trajectory like? I guess it’s happened to other words.

I never knew it was out of favour. I use it often. Never been corrected either. Don’t care either. It’s what it is.

My daughter the former teacher used to chastise me for it. I had to draw the line there. Don’t correct your father.

I don’t know. My parents would occasionally say negro or colored well past the sell by dates and it sounded so cringe. I don’t want to come off that cringe to my son.

I don’t use it in front of her. There’s no sense in being deliberately offensive.

Luke finds it offensive when I call somebody a tranny.

Like Horace, I have always prefaced my calling someone stupid as a faggoty retard. Always posed as a question though to not deliver it as an insult.
