LOL sure pesky and pansy works for me |
Quote:
Well, considering pansy is usually used as a derogatory term for gay folk, I'm thinking pesky might work better. :) |
Even though Im excited about the Pats going to the superbowl...
even though i rooted for the 49ers for my littlest granddaughter (i really do not like the 49ers) even though the Pats played like crap yesterday..(ugh) even though the 49er-Giants game dragged out.. May the team that wants it more prevail. |
Will Tom and Eli be sharing a room in Indianapolis?

Too bad the Niners didn't make it, although I have no invested interest in any of the teams, it would have been nice to see them back in the big game.
Now onto basketball and baseball. |
I wanted the 49ers to win but since they didn't, those damn Giants won ~ now I'm definately cheering 100% for the Patriots to kick some Giant ASS :D

Well, since the definition of pansy is: pan·sy/ˈpanzē/ Noun: 1) A popular cultivated viola with flowers in rich colors, esp. the familiar Viola cornuta. 2) offensive. An effeminate or homosexual man. I'm sure you wouldn't be using an offensive term, so you must find the Pats flowery. Or maybe cultivated. |

As previously stated you can not "like" the word as much as you want. That was my choice of words and I will continue to stand behind my choice of the word. Thanks for the definition but I am fully aware of the history behind the word. If we were to discontinue the usage of words that have been give derogatory power well we would not have much of a use for words. That is the beauty in free speech. On a side note...no not flowers as you felt the need to ad but a usually disparaging : a weak or effeminate man or boy Which is how I view the Pats. Anything else? |
Frankly, your defense of a word by saying you mean it in a derogatory sense astounds me. I really think that instead of being defensive, you could take into consideration that many of us find that word offensive for obvious reasons. Freedom of speech doesn't make it right.
I usually stay out of this kind of thing, but really, I am offended. |

If you are offended of my choice of a word feel free to report my post or contact admin. |
hummm, Tranny is used all over these boards and I find it highly offensive. I chosse not to read those folks using it.
Pansy to me just means weak. back to football? |

I hear both these words embraced by folks day in and day out. But i do work at one of the biggest LGBT Centers in the US I can only speak for myself. Many find the word Queer offensive. Maybe this needs to be another thread, This is a football thread. |

MissItalianDiva -
The word "pansy" was reported multiple times. Here's something we all need to remember: *ANY* term that disparages gay people, whether they be effeminate men, bulldykes, Lesbians, etc., when not used in the context of reclaiming is not only homophobic but against our TOS. Especially since this is a website geared toward the GLBTQIAA spectrum. Here's the other problem with that word when used in the context of "a man not living up to societal standards of "macho": It reinforces a homophobic and sexist stereotype that "effiminate" is WEAKER or LESS THAN. And that reinforcement will *never* be ok on this website. Thanks, Admin |
Quote:
Thank you for the moderation. I however do not agree and will not retract my use of the word. I am not really concerned with how many times it was reported. Feel free to ban me or time me out. Thanks |

MissItalianDiva- I am not interested in your rebuttal on a moderation. I am not asking you to retract your use of the word, I am advising you that it is against the TOS and that if you use it again on this website, you will receive a 30-day time-out. I have been clear. It is clear to me that you do not want to examine the sexism and homophobia in your use of that word and I'm actually ok with that. You are now aware of the consequences of any further use of that word and I will not hesitate to enforce the guidelines that you agreed to when you joined this site. It is time to move along. This issue is closed. Thanks, Admin |
Upcoming Superbowl decisions...decisions...
I have to say that I am really on the fence about the upcoming Superbowl. Though I am a fan of neither team, I do recognize their talent in making it through the playoffs. Here's my inner (and now outer) monologue: The Patriots are a well oiled machine. However, they seem to have skidded through by the skin of their teeth in the two games prior to yesterday's, and yesterday they really seemed to have been handed the game by the Raven's kicker. I do like Tom Brady. The Giants, in my opinion, have played really well this year. I do not like The Giants, I do like Eli Manning. They are, again in my opinion, the underdogs of this game. Someone I do not like, offsite, hates The Giants. My inner 5 year old will probably pick the underdog team, and the joy of hoping that someone will be disappointed if they win. Either way, I really think it is going to be one helluva game. I love watching Superbowl games. I am sad that the Steelers and 49ers are out, but loving the Superbowl like I do, I will have to get over it so that I can still enjoy the game wholeheartedly. End monologue....:) |

When I have no vested interest in either team, I pick the underdog as well. It just seems like the right thing to do. This year, I do have an interest as I am a Patriots fan. This is not, however, stopping my inner dialogue from mulling things over. To me, the Patriots have had a so-so season. The defense hasnt always been reliable. The number of new faces in and out of the front line was impressive. Tom Brady hasnt always been as sharp as I would like to see. And, I have seen him more flustered this year than ever before. The offense has varied as well. Some games they made it look easy, some hard, some impossible, some grateful to have the win courtesy of the other guys mistakes. The Belichick/Brady magic and mystique isnt quite what it used to be. A few teams seem to have out coached us this year, using Belichick like stuff in the process. Still my guys. Still hope they do well. Grateful they have gotten this far. But, still realistic. The Giants have had an awesome second half. Their defense has stepped up when it counted the most. Their guys are huge and fast and tough. Eli, given enough time, can throw with the best of them. Their offensive can be explosive. They made minced meat out of the Packers, in the playoffs. The Giants, to me, are a team on a mission this year. And they did it quietly but steadily to get to this point. Their coach, to me, is a formidable opponent with many Belichickesque techniques used, especially when playing the Patriots. I think it is going to be a tough game. I hope the Patriots win but it wont surprise me if they dont. |
Quote:
But maybe you are right about Belichick, his super powers may be waning. But maybe not. Anyway as far as the super bowl goes I, of course, want the Pats to win. This is the team who took the Pats perfect season and rendered it meaningless. This is the first year since that super bowl defeat that the Pats have actually won a play-off game. It would be awesome to kick some Giant ass. Yet, I actually like the Giants. Years and years and years ago before New England had a team, most people rooted for the Giants. They were my father's favorite team (until the Pats of course). So I do have a soft spot for them, although not that soft any more. They weren't my team. The Pats are my team. I like Eli. He annoyed me when he stepped around the draft like he was special. I held the same thing against John Elway. But then I can understand, considering what his father went through in New Orleans, why he stated he would refuse to play for San Diego if they drafted him as the overall first round pick in the 2004 draft. Yet I just don't care for it when someone gets special treatment. Anyway, I don't doubt that the Pats can beat the Giants. Will they? Who knows. That's why they play the game. But the Giant pass defense is no great shakes (29th I think) so it is likely to be an offensive game. And when it is about the offense, my money will always be on Tom Brady. |
yea i think when it comes to the superbowl i'd like to see the pats take it this time....i dont want my packers loss to lead to giant victory rings....it might be true for some people to want to be beaten by the best...but the pats have everything they need to make a come back for sure...

No real vested interest in either team in the Superbowl, however, with that said, I do like the NFC more than the AFC, so I'm going to pull for the Giants. Looking forward to the game next weekend! Having fun watching the Pro Bowl.

That was a fun game to watch. There were a couple of rounds of keep away that made me laugh. I'm glad I watched the highest scoring game in Pro Bowl history...(according to the announcers)...
59/41 AFC! |
This was just a silly game **laughing** fun to watch for sure!

this is the sum total of my interest in American football

I will not be watching AbFab this weekend, but I do love me some Eddie & Pats! Here's a little gem before we return to football talk: Eddie: Where's my thing? You know, my thing... my vibrating thing... Patsy: Right by your bedside drawer, darling. Eddie: Not THAT, not THAT!... My beeper, my beeper! Patsy: Oh. [fishes inside her skirt] Patsy: Here. Eddie: [disgusted] Keep it. I don't want it now. Don't WANT it now. Go Giants! <---This feels strange and kind of dirty...Sorry Hines & Troy! |

I despise the Pats.
I dislike NY teams. Go chicken wings! |
