Don't forget, we don't have master boot records, master hard drives, master cylinders, whitelists, blacklists, etc...anymore; because those evoke memories of the days of slavery (USA slavery only though). If I were a seer, I would predict that "Mr." is going to be banned as well, if it already hasn't been.
I get pretty emotional when I think about flatulence, so I'm going to petition the UN to ban any slang references to farting.
Do the rest of you have any offensive terms you would like to restrict from the new and improved English dictionary?
Don't forget the slave part of computers! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master/slave_(technology)
Just call it Obamapox.

If i didn't know any better, id think they were TRYING to make "monkey" derogatory.
Do not click! A click = money to CNN. Archive that shit dude.

don't play the joo game
Im not worried about it, i just find it comical. I wouldn't be upset if someone called me a monkey. Lots of times i'd rather be a monkey. Being human is gay unless you're rich. I mean, life can be fun and all, but the good times are really worth the bad times? Eh...maybe, i guess.
sure mate, im just leaving it out there because a lot of people getting out of the game are still triggered back by shit like this
And there you have the most racist shit I've ever seen on the internet. Think of what they're implying here.
Don't worry, doctor. "The process is slow..."
