Dewey, you triple axe murderer! Why are you still hanging around this thread?
Well thank God a phrase is only a slang or slur if it’s recognized as such by the "Black Community"™…gives you nice cover, huh?
EasyPhil, I didn’t realize that your OP was a polite inquiry posing as a pit thread. It reminded me of the LBJ quote “of course it’s untrue… but let’s make the sonofabitch deny it.”.
There, see? That’s much better! 
Once again I must protest. It’s never “gun murderer” or “knife murderer”. Sometimes an axe is just the closest available tool when the time to snap comes.
What? You got a problem with Fucknuggets now??

Why can’t you be racist?
Before the punk=gay in black communities reference I made gets used against me or anyone else here is the thread:

The only reason I bring it up is it looks like EasyPhil was getting blamed for a comment he didn’t make but was instead reiterating from my post. Neither of which were orginally racist in nature (at least not intended).
So, is a triple axe murderer someone who has killed three people with one axe, or someone who goes around killing people using three axes?
Man, I love LBJ. Must have been a nightmare as an opponent.
“People” is an offensive term, Coldie. Why can’t trees and animals be killed, too? And trees are killed with axes, at that.
I tells ya, this board is full of bigots.
3 people, 1 axe (though I guess more axes could conceivably be involved). I’m trying to envision how one would wield three axes simultaneously – juggling, maybe? 
Not to be confused with a triple axel murderer, which is what Tonya Harding will be when she finally snaps. 
I can’t believe you just axe’d us a question.

All I could think of was “Mister Roberts”…wasn’t that what James Cagney kept calling Henry Fonda?? Clever boy?..oh well…it’s been years.
I keep hearing, [James Cagney] " Boy, Oh Boy" [/James Cagney] calling to Fonda.
I don’t recall any actors of African-American descent in “Mister Roberts”, but it’s been years.
Neither, he killed three axes. And damn if they didn’t die quietly!

I am deeply offended that EasyPhil chose to respond to the “punk equals gay” question when posed by someone other than me. Obviously, this was intended as a slur against me as a gay person and against all gay people everywhere. The clear message is that he does not consider the concerns of gay people to be worth responding to.
Golly, this accusing people of shit with little or no basis in reality is fun!
(I was going to say “this tarring people with the bigot brush” instead of “this accusing people of shit” but I wouldn’t want to come off like a racist)
Otto, how dare you insinuate that. I’ll have you know that as a heterosexual male I have been ignored just as much as anyone.
Man, you Palindromes are all the same. No matter how many times people try to please you, you always want the reverse.
And you know, the word “clever” is offensive.
Why and to who, I’m not sure. I’ll get back to you on that.

I thought “triple axe murderer” was an ice skating move?
“Axel,” not axe. Hence my Tonya Harding joke a few posts up.
