So, here's something interesting: thug originally referred to members of the Thuggee cult of India, who were psycho murderers. They had to be violently stamped out by the British soldiers garrisons there, and I believe were the inspiration for the Kali Ma cult in Indiana Jones. It was only later on that it lost any religious or cultish implications and simply came to mean, "stupidly violent asshole".
'Basket case' was a person who served in WWI and had developed severe shell shock. The especially severe cases of shell shock were often given the task of making baskets as a form of therapy. Source is America's Secret Slang.
This was my understanding of the term as well. "Basket weaving" is a therapeutic technique used to this day. I've never heard it as "someone who ended up in a basket because all of their limbs were blown off".
basket case first known use was 1919 meaning "a person who has all four limbs amputated" this is the official definition offered by merriam webster, but it also says it's use is "dated" meaning no one uses it anymore so it has nothing to do with people using the word now XD idk wtf this article was talking about, and to me basket case is more negative, you use that for something crazy... i wouldn't attribute ALL nervousness to basket cases... that sounds like an incredibly wrong thing to do... how does such a big website offer alternatives that are worse than the original terms...
If you look at the history of censorship in the western tradition, especially from the Enlightenment onwards, it quickly becomes apparent that "harmful" language bans cannot be maintained. Simply the use of metaphor, simile, euphemism, etc., make censorship a futile enterprise. Even in Soviet Russia it was ineffective, since the censor's overcorrection or haplessness in the face of irony and sarcasm only succeeded in imparting information via exclusion.
44:05 "Balls to the wall" has NOTHING to do with anatomy! It comes from military aviation (or maybe aviation in general), where putting the "balls" (the knob on the throttle lever) to the upper limit (the "wall"). While I'm sure there might be some innuendo there, it's just an expression for full-throttle/takeoff power/wartime-emergency-power, and is explicitly a reference to the mechanics of doing so. It is the aviation-equivalent of saying "pedal to the metal."
I mean the r word is used for idle the throttles on Airbus, apparently it's another word meaning slow that was used to sound nicer way to refer to someone that became a slur
@@AnD1262 Yeah, the etymology of... that word (avoiding it for UA-cam censors) comes from a way of saying "slow," or "delayed." It's pretty much a scientific term (see: "Fire R*****ant," which is not wholly fireproof but very fire resistant). It was used, as far as I'm aware, scientifically to refer to certain developmental conditions (slow mental development). Of course, as terminology evolved -and people got more sensitive- , it began to be considered offensive. Since Airbus is a multinational company, many of whose constituents are not English speakers, this minor nuance of English terminology was probably lost on their designers.
@@AnD1262 oh yeah i remember seeing a vidoe fo someone playing a flying sim and they're idling and something then all you hear is "retard, retard, retard" obviously it's different than the one used to call people slow or insult their intelligence.
@@AnD1262 another example is a musical term seen on sheet music that looks similar to the r word (the term itself is Italian). It means to gradually slow down the tempo as you play the section of the music that has been marked with the term. Has nothing to do with the r word other than the shared root for "slow".

Addicts are the problem, not dealers. Demand creates supply, not the other way around. Addicts are not victims, they victimize others.

The second half of your comment is how human traffickers work. Absolute, worse of humanity as they used the craziest things to keep people under their control.
Addicts aren't the problem and thats pretty obvious, neither are dealers. I know why you want to think that, its simple. Demonizing people makes them easy targets and you dont ever have to challenge your own world view. Addicts and dealers are created by a non sufficient society, a society that makes people be dealers by not giving them livable wages. A society that makes people addicts by being inherently mentally draining and horrible. You are speaking from an incredibly priviliged point of view.
@polishspy3088 Get off your high horse. Society is at its best right now. Dealers choose to sell drugs because they think its easy money. Addicts are people seeking thrill because they believe they are without purpose or feel isolated. We don't work like we used to, and automation is taking over. There are so many people around that people feel they aren't unique but just another human. You can go online and find hundreds that share very similar experiences as you. It's why gender spectrum even started. Used to be just gender dsyphoria, but now people have to feel unique or they go into a depression. It's why they get so aggressive when called out on it.
Tar-baby, while it was in the Disney Song of the South thing mentioned, actually comes from the Tales of Uncle Remus, by Joel Chandler Harris, from the 1880's. The Tar-Baby is a trap by Br'er Fox used to trap Br'er Rabbit, the more Br'er Rabbit fights against the tar-baby (literally a doll made out of tar), the more trapped he becomes as he gets stuck to the tar.

On the "he" front they've made some progress in altering the english language, where if the speaker is uncertain or doesn't specify the gender of the singular person, "they" is often used over "he" despite the fact that "they" implies multiple people and should not be used to refer to a single person.
"They" has always been used to refer to people of indeterminate genders. That's not new. Don't attribute the origin of a term to their ideologies, even if it coincidentally aligns with their ends.
@@ceriswhite Not always, and even when it was occassionally used, it was almost always in a general sense, not when you're referring to an actual person you just happen to not know the gender of. But it's standard now in the spheres they control, and it's objectively bad grammar.

A basket case was the term used for someone who got shell shock in the Great War and was put into an asylum. These men were often taught to weave baskets to support themselves and self soothe.
@Kirsche - you know better than to deny that which you cannot prove. Stand Up (Meeting). It is metropolitan in nature, but it indicates an impromptu meeting due to a change in the work required by a group, so the group can provide input to the supervisor, and the supervisor can discuss new requirements of the group. Maybe it is more west coast? It is very corporate, as it indicates everyone stand up and step out of their cubicles, having the meeting in the walkway or a corner of the work area.

Guru is used as a sign of respect in many fields for people who know a lot about a subject. Nobody in the west cares about how a monk in the east used it.
If TIME is correct it's actually this: "The tar baby is a form of a character widespread in African folklore. In various folktales, gum, wax or other sticky material is used to trap a person." The term itself was popularized by the 19th-century Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris, in which the character Br'er Fox makes a doll out of tar to ensnare his nemesis Br'er Rabbit.
Whoever wrote that list was clearly too damn stupid to even look up what Tar-Baby is which goes to show what they think of black people since that's what they were clearly getting at.

Ok, so "Died by suicide" sounds sus to me. It sounds like they were a casualty in someone els attempt to end their own life, like in a school shooting or suicide by cop.
the trouble with the euphemism treadmill is that the intent is to stop people from making derogatory remarks about each other, but language is a slippery beast. I won't turn this into a blog post, but my cousins once had an inside joke that involved jokingly calling someone a car seat as if it were a slur. There wasn't even a sly double meaning, they just settled on the idea that that was the word you used to insult someone. the niche always gets filled by something and vilifying one particular set of mouth noises can never, ever stop that.
saying someone is devoted to a hard drug followed by a laugh will get that term branded as bad in no time, saying someone is "devoted to meth" tickles me in a way "addicted" never has

35:00 I'm going to quit saying "bury the hatchet" and instead suggest we "smokem peace pipe."
lmfao
Addicts are the problem, not dealers. Demand creates supply, not the other way around. Addicts are not victims, they victimize others. The exception, are those forced to become addicts as a means of control. Now that I have angered many people, I will use this site as a reference for words to use around others.
The second half of your comment is how human traffickers work. Absolute, worse of humanity as they used the craziest things to keep people under their control.
Addicts are victims of their own bad choices. I can have sympathy for their suffering, while still condemning them for being complete invalids
Addicts aren't the problem and thats pretty obvious, neither are dealers. I know why you want to think that, its simple. Demonizing people makes them easy targets and you dont ever have to challenge your own world view. Addicts and dealers are created by a non sufficient society, a society that makes people be dealers by not giving them livable wages. A society that makes people addicts by being inherently mentally draining and horrible. You are speaking from an incredibly priviliged point of view.
@polishspy3088 Get off your high horse. Society is at its best right now. Dealers choose to sell drugs because they think its easy money. Addicts are people seeking thrill because they believe they are without purpose or feel isolated. We don't work like we used to, and automation is taking over. There are so many people around that people feel they aren't unique but just another human. You can go online and find hundreds that share very similar experiences as you. It's why gender spectrum even started. Used to be just gender dsyphoria, but now people have to feel unique or they go into a depression. It's why they get so aggressive when called out on it.
@@polishspy3088 Crikey, don't inhale the whole tank of copium in one huff.
Tar-baby, while it was in the Disney Song of the South thing mentioned, actually comes from the Tales of Uncle Remus, by Joel Chandler Harris, from the 1880's. The Tar-Baby is a trap by Br'er Fox used to trap Br'er Rabbit, the more Br'er Rabbit fights against the tar-baby (literally a doll made out of tar), the more trapped he becomes as he gets stuck to the tar. I've never heard of it used as a derogatory term, but the more you know I guess?
Man, I can't wait for the next WWE Person-with-a-disability Match🔥🔥🔥🔥
My workplace uses “Stand Up” pretty often, but what’s funny is that I don’t work in tech. I’m a warehouse wagie
Confined to a wheelchair got a meaning means the person can't get out of it on there own
“My first cat’s name was Spaz” I wonder if H.P. Lovecraft was able to use that line of reasoning 😂
Friendly reminder: HP Lovecraft was afraid of air conditioning, ultraviolet light, and non-Euclidean (non-flat) geometry.
@@NotsilYmerejBased. As based as what he named his cat.
@@pinip_f_werty1382 I don’t know why people think Lovecraft hated or feared black people, he named Ni-[comment removed by moderator, and commenter removed from life]
@@NotsilYmerej Tbh though, he got significantly less racist the longer he lived.
Guess what?
They can’t stop me. I’ll use euphemisms if they take the words away. Not even because I want to be “harmful”, but because screw these moral busybodies
the correct response to globohomo coercion
On the "he" front they've made some progress in altering the english language, where if the speaker is uncertain or doesn't specify the gender of the singular person, "they" is often used over "he" despite the fact that "they" implies multiple people and should not be used to refer to a single person.
"They" has always been used to refer to people of indeterminate genders. That's not new. Don't attribute the origin of a term to their ideologies, even if it coincidentally aligns with their ends.
@@ceriswhite Not always, and even when it was occassionally used, it was almost always in a general sense, not when you're referring to an actual person you just happen to not know the gender of. But it's standard now in the spheres they control, and it's objectively bad grammar.
I love how a good amount of these words are just replaced by their definition.
“Instead of saying ballsy, say risk taker.”
Yeah, and who is generally considered the biggest risk takers, to the point there’s a meme about ‘this is why women live longer?’
I always think "bury the hatchet" is burying the hatchet in someone's head.
Truly a double plus ungood website
This list should get "the whole nine yards".
Using imperial measurement system is offensive to us , people of the meter.
We have gone from 7 dirty words you can’t say on TV to a whole list of words you can’t say at all. If George Carlin were alive today he would have material for years.
Brings new meaning to children getting cancelled
11:13 "died by suicide" lol so then what do we call it if someone suicide bombs and you die by that action?
died by 2nd degree suicide
Then you were "culturally enriched".
Died by having pertinent information on business dealings of the Clinton family.
Wagon fort tactics have been in use long before the colonial american period. It was used across europe and asia. Early uses have been seen by germanic tribes. The hussites and cossacks especially were renown for using wagon forts.
We’re insults me more than any disability slur is the thought that they think I’m too stupid to not realize I am normal for having a physical disability. That’s why I’m trying to fix that with surgery.
8:04 i just looked it up, according to merriam webster first known use is 1919 in sense 2, sense 2 being: a person who has all four limbs amputated it mentions nothing about needing to be carried in a basket case XD and merriam webster even says its "dated, informal, offensive" literally not a single person use it for that sense at all.
A basket case was the term used for someone who got shell shock in the Great War and was put into an asylum. These men were often taught to weave baskets to support themselves and self soothe.
Kirsche streams are so comfy 😩
@Kirsche - you know better than to deny that which you cannot prove. Stand Up (Meeting). It is metropolitan in nature, but it indicates an impromptu meeting due to a change in the work required by a group, so the group can provide input to the supervisor, and the supervisor can discuss new requirements of the group. Maybe it is more west coast? It is very corporate, as it indicates everyone stand up and step out of their cubicles, having the meeting in the walkway or a corner of the work area.
This is list is exactly why George Carlin had a skit about "soft language" and how it makes us weak
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me
When I occasionally forget who I'm listening to in the background, I'd swear I was listening to ItsAGundam sometimes and have to look at the phone and make sure. Though I dunno about the penile inspection part, he'd probably skip that lol
List: you cant say gang
Every Aboriginal in Australia: Nooooo how am I supposed to talk about a bunch of my friends as one group.
This what happens when Tumblr takes over.
Bruh i didnt even know it was "The Republic of the Philippines", i grew up with everyone saying either The Philippines or Pilipinas. And adding the word Islands is basically judt getting technical that it's an archipelago.
And here i thought i couldnt get angrier at anything more than "occular visit"
31:00 "Fillapeen" Kirsche's inevitable return to a discussion on sounding.
28:27 Yall go ask Thor if he would find the moniker "Greybeard" offensive.
"devoted to crack" add a nice amount of sarcasm and i love it!
Guru is used as a sign of respect in many fields for people who know a lot about a subject. Nobody in the west cares about how a monk in the east used it.
I just keep thinking back to the George Carlin bit on “language that takes the life out of life”.
replace "lame" with "boring"
that's like the biggest escalation. having lame moments is one thing but I'd be on watch if a friend called me boring
If TIME is correct it's actually this:
"The tar baby is a form of a character widespread in African folklore. In various folktales, gum, wax or other sticky material is used to trap a person." The term itself was popularized by the 19th-century Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris, in which the character Br'er Fox makes a doll out of tar to ensnare his nemesis Br'er Rabbit.
Tar baby is an enemy in Quake.
Whoever wrote that list was clearly too damn stupid to even look up what Tar-Baby is which goes to show what they think of black people since that's what they were clearly getting at.
1 more step towards Fahrenheit 451 becoming reality
you commit an action, with a means and a goal.
you do not commit by 'goal' you commit by 'action'
so once goal is fulfilled
you 'commited' action not goal.
I feel like these people would be shocked to find out that words in the dictionary in fact carry multiple meanings.
It’s funny you should mention Hannah Duston. I’m actually a direct descendant and my dad is part of the Duston-Dustin Garrison House Association! That was really cool to hear you talk about.
Also, is there a way to make everyone 240iq able to run 100 meters in 9.8 seconds and jump 10 feet while lifting 1.2k pounds?
No theres not, you can however make everyone dumb, slow, unfit and unhappy.
Remember equity is bad
Sanity check is sometimes used in computer science to mean checkign something works intuitonally once you figured out it works through like maths. Ive used it in the past to mean validating input you already know had been checked
I read all of those in George Carlin's voice. If he was alive today he would feel so fucking vindicated by this.
He called it all 100%. Closest we had to Nostrodamus

So my partial muteness due to tism means I'm dumb?
That's what dumb means, mute. You'll hear it in slightly older terms, such as deaf and dumb
*Control with one Simple Trick!*
*Step 1:* Ask for your views to be tolerated.
*Step 2:* Once your view are tolerated, insert your views into the cultural spaces.
*Step 3:* Once you control the cultural spaces, declare negativity as harmful so people who support you can only have a voice in the cultural spaces.
The US struggling with 17th century social issue is funny. Blackrock bribing politicians in my country to enact shit like this also kinda funny cause we ain't speaking the horse shiet language.
I heard the tbaby one once. It was a soldier skit with Richard Prior and chevy chase
Kirsche making up new slurs. i have a submission "chicken washers"
"People of Fabuloso vapour"
Starch slurpers, corn crunchers.
I've been trying to bring back the r word within the group of people I know. Now it's become a joke that I use it. I'm softening everyone up for its official return.
17:10 I remember this story it was a world where everyone was forced to be equal in all ways by the world's government
As someone who's often called "Spade" by online friends, I've only ever had one instance of someone telling me that my online name was offensive. I told him he was wrong and he left me alone, lol.
1:00:35 some of us Canadian folk are offended that we havent been annexed yet.
I read that short story in high school. Always stuck with me as well.
This seems like a good list to use to expand my own vocabulary so that everyone uncool avoids me and everyone cool wants to be my friend.
Kirsche is my spirit animal 😅😂. I prefer the term Congress Creature for those in the capital swamp.
If anything im going to change all my euphimisms back to the good old language since a few of these slipped through.
51:00. I would make it through inspection day.
Kirsche is likely the only fox vtuber with authentic fox sounds.
I'm happy that my friend and I are not the only ones that have pointed out that "Latine" sounds like Latrine
"Instead of He, use their name or They"
...so we should just disregard his preferred pronouns, then? Jesus wept this inclusivity bullshit destroys itself.
No, no, you only disregard it for white people, or men (especially if they’re both).
I vaguely remember the film demolition man being a cheesey action film not some kind of prophecy.
I have a form of OCD that has nothing to do with detail it’s more of picking or scratching at things without realizing I’m doing it. If someone called me detail oriented I would be extremely confused.
Ok, so "Died by suicide" sounds sus to me. It sounds like they were a casualty in someone els attempt to end their own life, like in a school shooting or suicide by cop.
Hey, yo, Pocahontas! I cannot even IMAGINE it.
the trouble with the euphemism treadmill is that the intent is to stop people from making derogatory remarks about each other, but language is a slippery beast.
I won't turn this into a blog post, but my cousins once had an inside joke that involved jokingly calling someone a car seat as if it were a slur. There wasn't even a sly double meaning, they just settled on the idea that that was the word you used to insult someone. the niche always gets filled by something and vilifying one particular set of mouth noises can never, ever stop that.
saying someone is devoted to a hard drug followed by a laugh will get that term branded as bad in no time, saying someone is "devoted to meth" tickles me in a way "addicted" never has
