Beer-drinking ladyboy fish can live out of water

Post by Denny »

Scientists deep in the jungles of Central America have discovered a type of fish which can live happily for months out of water, in a development with enormous consequences for the English language.

Wow, I had no idea hermaphroditic piscines were so sensitive! Sometimes it's just impossible to keep up with being PC (politically correct for those of you completely out of it).
Every time I turn around, I wonder where I've been.
Time to stop turning round, I guess.

My point was that nobody on C&F would ever DARE to call a fish a nіgger, but it's ok to use other such words which have the same intent?

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.
