I'll call somebody 'dumb' or 'stupid' if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don't know any other word for it, and if they don't like the word, that's too bad.
The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive.
I consider your remarks highly offensive to me and to those with whom I have been working.
One of the many things I regret is that I hurt so many people by giving them nasty nicknames, and above all that I was unkind to the children of celebrities.
We have all said things that are offensive when taken out of context. You don't need to tell the public to be repelled. They will tell you they are repelled.
You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded.
When someone says, 'Shut up, farmer,' it hurts. It's difficult to explain, but it hurts.
The mere suggestion that not speaking for a day can give you an appreciation of the social isolation that comes with the experience of disability, particularly those whose impairments prohibit them from communicating verbally, is insensitive at best.
There's no getting around it - I am a politically incorrect, racially insensitive, culturally controversial comic, but at least I'm self-aware.
I didn't just invent saying offensive things.
Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended.
I dislike the word 'victim.' I dislike being told that I 'lost' my husband - as if I had idly abandoned you by the side of the railway track like an unwanted pair of old shoes.
You know me; I make some comments that aren't really good.
With every day that passes, David Blunkett becomes more insensitive in his language and more intemperate in his actions.
