Case Pimping
Gee, the PC police are everywhere, aren't they?
The term "pimping," as explained on p.892 of Webster's Ninth New Collegiate
Dictionary, is an adjective with a distinctly different meaning from the noun
and verb, "pimp." "Pimping," though it sounds like the prostitution-related
verb, is actually a sixteenth century adjective meaning petty, insignificant,
puny or sickly. Really. Look it up. Sure sounds descriptive of a lot of CEDA
analysis, I've encountered...
Maybe Mark West could entertain us more with his further exploits toward
being a living god. Or maybe Gallentine could help him to create a
non-offensive debate language. Real fair job of docking people points for
your misinterpretation of English etymology.
Geez, don't you folks have anything to do with your lives?
Lemoine is right, the sheep are thick. The march of pseudo-liberalism is more
oppressive that the Bataan Death March.
