Holy shit, I love those.

I'm guessing you were an English major?

While Mandy Moore and Ryan Adam's divorce announcement may have come as a complete surprise to those of us with a slightly inappropriate devotion to the love lives of Saved! actresses and their formally temperamental alt rock husbands,

All this talk from sports media about Marshawn Lynch being a problem is a bunch of hot air, and this Clueless Gamer segment is the proof. The only people Marshawn Lynch has a problem with are sports media. Period. Outside of them, he comes across as a normal, happy-go-lucky dude.

And Ann Curry.

Twitter Cher is the embarrassing but totally on point Facebook Aunt we all deserve.

Yup!! Back then I was like wow I almost made enough to buy my Chem lab book instead of making copy's of it from the library... fuck these entitled brats!

AWW YESSS

It's the term my (80-something) grandmother uses to this day, no matter how many times I tried to correct her when I was in middle school... I have given up at this point.

When I was in college (not in the greek system), we were charged a fee at the end of the year due to damage to the ceiling tiles that was done by drunk assholes who would run and punch out the tiles of our dorm hallways.

In Carson McCuller's The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter, she has a Black character say that "colored" is the polite, well mannered term, which may have been so in the 1930s south, but clearly not now. McCuller was a lifelong Southerner but she was also white, so take that with a salt lick.

You know how sometimes, after big games, there are campus riots? Even when the home team won? I'm thinking something along those veins.

I'm English and 33 and it was definitely a completely normal word in my circle when I was growing up. I only really figured out that it was no longer acceptable a few years ago, and I suspect that only became clear to me because I a) lived in the US and b) spend a lot of time on the internet! (It definitely seemed old…

I blame the glorification of thuggishness that pervades white culture...a level of disrespect that is too often passed down from white parents (especially white single parents) to their white children.

How did they mess up the ceiling? I mean really, how do you even do that?

I have no problems saying black, Asian or non-white in the UK. It is how people refer to themselves. Or they refer to a country directly. Cumberbatch lives in a narrow circle of people where archaic language is probably given a pass. It is good to know he has a lesson. It is just ... weird.

No, it's no longer socially accepted (except if you live in the sticks, like I do. Sigh) but it was in my father's day. I pretty much only ever hear it used these days by people over the age of 50 and it's generally an indicator that the person in question is heavily out of touch - not necessarily a raging bigot, just…

When I was growing up, and I'm 25, coloured was the terminology that we were taught, though it wasn't exclusive to black. Actually because of being brought up like that it's only taken me the last few years to use the term black because the way we were taught where I was from, black was a bad word. Saying that, this…

'Coloured' was the term used in the UK to refer to all people of colour up until the 1960s. It's definitely outdated now, and the only people I've heard using the term are those who belong to the same generation as my 80-year-old father-in-law. I've also heard some elderly people say 'Chinaman', so I think it's a…

I have the same problem with people talking about Chinese takeaways as 'the chinkies'. Good lord.
