i can't say it, now can i

the n-word for social, personal and cultural reasons

The n word.

Pretty vanilla answer I suppose, but I refuse to utter the N-word under any circumstances.

I said it one time about twenty years or so ago when telling someone the punchline to a Dave Chappelle skit. That's the only time I've used it and it still made me feel shitty. So now I will never say it in any context.

i curse all the time, but my whole life, i have only been able to bring myself to say the words "shut up" a handful, it's really like, probably the most innocuous most offensive set of words, never sat right w me to say it to someone

English diminutives of children; advertising spoiled that for me

Best I can do is try to remember to say GNU/Linux instead of just Linux, unless referring specifically to the kernel.

'*********'

Pontoon

I was a kid and was at the lake with my family and their friends. I suddenly exclaimed "That boat has massive tampons" talking about the pontoon boat. My parents looked mortified and everyone was weird to me the entire day until the car ride home where it was explained that those were pontoons, not tampons.

(im gay pls no ban, you can check my comment history for proof i can even send my sniffies profile)

more like whose around. You think this is about race you backbiters.

I'm not a fan of baby talk or 'diminutive' words. I cannot call it a wee-wee. I just say "Don't grab your crotch," I feel physically repulsed by things like that and I have a low opinion of those who do use words like that.

Not so much word as soelling: Catsup only, spelling it "ketchup" is like writing "nite lite" instead of nightlight. It's juvenile. I have too much self respect to bend on this.

"Vibe". I hate when people things like "I love the vibes here".

It just sounds to me like someone at some point took the word "vibration" and shortened it to sound cool and it just makes me wince a bit.
