I'm sure you wouldn't be using an offensive term, so you must find the Pats flowery. Or maybe cultivated.

Why don't we actually post the whole definition as per

As with MOST words there are many meanings and usages. 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?
