    Ah. Ya, I work with several people from the UK and it doesn’t have remotely the same meaning I find myself calling men that often. But ya, he’s a shithead or asshole, or dumb fuck. Whatever

    I truly hate that the word I used has been destroyed by Americans.
    Also, still no offense meant. That is just the perfect word to describe him

    Should’ve called him a wanker then.

    I guess it's OK to call a guy a prick if he's an arrogant asshole; it's not OK call a guy a cunt if he's an arrogant asshole....is that the lesson for today?

    maybe just call him an arrogant asshole. Everybody's got one. I would say it's gender-neutral but apparently there are about a dozen genders now. Still, everybody's got one, so yeah, gender-neutral...asshole has a green light!

    And none of those sum up what he truly is. Seriously though, I didn’t even think of it as a sexist comment. All love

    Crand would not do well in England or Australia. They LOVE that word.

    They do. It’s a great word there. Shouldn’t have said it here. I just hear it so much that it came out. Like I said absolutely didn’t mean to offend her, or anyone

    I’m not offended by any word, but that’s just my straight white male privilege shining through.

    I can only speak for myself regarding gender/gender neutrality/identify as/political correctness/etc.....

    Intent. It is the context that all social rules and guidelines should consider.

    Also, there are certain changes I am simply not willing to recognize. I will always call the team in DC...the Redskins. It is my choice....I'll live with the consequences, because I know the truth of my intent.
