Well, that was my misunderstanding then, because I was only going by what I was told at the time.
Does he have enough punkfaggot points to get one, though?
Wifes. Plural. Double-check the OP. 
That poor bastard.
My feelings exactly!
I’m asking this because I read the entire first page and feel I can try to get something out of this pitting.
Can you explain, in your own words, what a “punkfaggot” is? I don’t even understand the UD definition you quoted… “Meaning emo or prep.” what the fuck does that mean?
I went to the UD, via the link you posted… And there was one definition for punkfaggot, and at the time I checked, there were less thumbs up (meaning agree with the definition) than thumbs down. So no one seems to know what it means, and no one can even agree on a definition.
So please… Define it in English. Because when someone in the UD called Kyle a punkfaggot, the poor bastard killed himself.
Og, how I hate that damn “Ask 3 times and give at least 2 rebuttals” rule. 
I had that happen at Dick’s Sporting Goods with a fucking jockstrap! Only the alarm didn’t go off when I left so I didn’t realize the tag was still attached until I got home & opened the package. It never even occured to me that a jock would have an anti-theft tag. I tried cutting it off myself and managed to ruin it in the process (along with the kife I used). So I went back to the store with the reciept. Only this time the alarm did go off as I entered. The manager was incredulous when I told him it didn’t go off when left. He was really sarcastic too. I’ve never shopped there again, at least in person.
Yeah, I had that happen at a place I worked at in college. Only [del]instead of[/del] in addition to delaying breaks they were making people stay late. I’d told the front-end supervisor, manager, and the store manager that I needed to go to no avail. I was getting pissed off, had 5 customers in line, and had a class to go to. :mad: So after I finished checking out the customer I was on I just told the next that my shift was over, walked away from my register and clocked out. Surprisingly I wasn’t fired it. :dubious:
You do know the reason the poor sods working at the stores do all that annoying stuff is because it works. My mom can’t stand the bakery tout at the Publix in her hometown and is always complaining to the manager about the tout’s bike horn and other attentin-getting techniques. The manager just nods and tels her, “Monty’s Mom, the fact of the matter is that our bakery sales have skyrocketed since we started this routine.” In short, if it’s making money for “corporate,” it’s not going away.
Yeah, that happens if you’re as big a toddlertoucher as the OP.
The word toddlertoucher, by the way, has nothing to do with toddlers, or touching them, or being a toddler-toucher (ew), it just means “someone who has a slow leak take them by surprise”.
It’s regional slang. Very regional right now, but hope springs eternal.
You forgot the words “among a particular subset of the population” at the end of that sentence.
Don’t know for sure, but I’d put money on the facts being that “fag” and “faggot” are still regarded as anti-gay slurs by most Americans.
Oh yeah: props to Ms. Pumpkin and Broomstick for their rants in this thread. Thanks to both of you for saying what needed to be said.
No, I didn’t forget. I had qualified my words plenty already and didn’t feel the need to do it again…I have already pointed out that the slang is used among certain kids, mostly gamers or kids from 4chan or nerds or geeks or “hackers” or whatever. I’ve said it and it is silly to keep saying it again just to head off posts like the one above.
Yeah, totally agreed. I don’t know if some posters think I am all about the OP calling reward points punkfaggot or something, but no. My post was a simple response to a poster who seemed to think that the word ‘fag’ wouldn’t be used without the speaker actually meaning to slur gays in some way. I disagree with that based on my observation of the way I’ve seen the slang used tons of times. That’s it. I won’t post on the topic again because it is starting to look as if I am more concerned with the word ‘fag’ than I really am. I was simply posting a fact, and then responding to responses to that.
Thanks for clarifying where you were coming from, and my apologies for not having read the preceding sequence of posts closely enough.
No apologies needed. I knew when I started the discussion that it is a sensitive topic. I don’t stand in the kitchen if I can’t handle the heat.
Now that we’ve gotten past the secondary arguments…
I have to say that it amazes me when someone posts a gripe against a retail establishment with shitty patron policies and worse overall respect for consumers, stacking the deck to suit themselves with a veneer of “customer service” or “efficiency” or (fuckme) hiring cheap incompetent workers under the guise of rehab or workfare… and the OP gets dissed from here to China and back for whining or not manning up or being petty. This is the third or fourth thread in recent days to turn this way.
I redirect this thread into pitting all the gormless pussies who take endless shit from stores like the mindless sheep they are, and think they’re the tough, ballsy ones for doing so… and then have the strap-on balls to pit those of us who don’t care to be treated like cattle who’ve been made into walking wallets.
Seriously, when did you all cave in to the notion that buying stuff from a store makes you the one on the short end of the stick, who has to take it with a smile just to buy your bread, jeans and light bulbs?
OK, now that’s a little over the top! You need to tone it down some.
Bear in mind that it has nothing to do with the words “fuck” or “mart”. It’s a completely different word. Altogether.
It’s a completely different word.
It’s a completely different word.
That’s the smartest thing you’ve said all week.
Chee, tanks.
My smart writing is over on the center monitor. This is a diversion that gets about 20% candlepower.
