That is NOT a nice word.

I've probably complained before about this kind of thing, but I work at a non-profit religious organization. In our large-group meetings, there is an overwhelming liberal slant. So much so at times that they blatantly mock conservative views. I've heard all the jokes, had to sit quiet while some elder or pastor in a higher position than myself made fun of me in a round-about way. Well, today in our meeting, a few people in front of me had a small jovial exchange about one of last year's buzzwords. Yep, adult, Christian elders, pastors, and educators had a laugh about the word 'teabagging'. I've heard a lot of things, but that was just abhorrent. I realize the 'journalists' they most likely follow use the word freely, hell, even NPR has picked it up like it's as normal and unoffensive as the word tree, but come on, that word is disgusting. Would they stand for it if someone used an equally gross word to refer to what they believed? I think not. Today I am sad for this country and I am sad for my faith. People suck.

Anytime I hear someone say that I just laugh and ask them, "Since when are you a 11 year old boy playing Halo multiplayer?"

Because that's what it IS! on the X-Box game Halo, when someone dies, their body is laying there for a second until you respawn. So all the immature little boys come over and teabag your dead body.

Try explaining that to your 80 year old grandmother!

Yeah, there's a ton of that in WoW, too. Especially from the Horde side of the game. Most people I know have turned off the public chat channels because of the junior highers talking stupid.

Only because the Alliance is too busy posting naughty things in Goldshire.

I'm on Feathermoon, and our trade chat is relatively civilized. Relatively.
