As tongue in cheek as my original post might have been, I actually do think the N-word is in it’s own special class, and unless you’re quoting the text of something that uses it, like reading Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, it’s probably the one word I would say can’t just be made into the common parlance.

I thought between South Park and Louis CK that we had come to an understanding that faggot no longer refers to gay people in common parlance, but rather, just people who are acting like... well, faggots. Like, I feel like the best way to take the power away from a slur is to turn it from being about a specific group…
