Some other words we need to ban, while we're at it
Advertisements [?]
Dick, prick, tool, schlong, dickhead, dickwad, dickweed, etc. You get the idea. They are so obviously degrading, offensive terms that are intended to be offensive with reference to gender.

Of course, they are terms that I, as a man, use frequently: "Cheney's such a dickhead." "Smirk is such a TOOL!""Powell is such a prick." You get the idea. I had no idea I was being so P.I. And I don't know how I'll ever drive a car in traffic again, if I can't yell at an offending fellow motorist, "Way to go, you DICKHEAD!"

But if we're going to ban "bitch," then by God we'd better ban all the pecker references too! Unless of course (as is so often the case when I have the occasional argument with my wife), "THAT'S DIFFERENT!"
