Proposed: That the word "cojones" be banned from use in English

[UTUSN]

* Quitter PALIN used it when campaigning for either ANGLE or BREWER. The fakeness of its use anytime was in high relief when she used it because: 1- She has shown her ignorance of all things Hispanic (and, please: the Hispanic/Latino label is off-topic), so she was trying to make points, failing miserably. But who was her target---Hispanics I think NOT; more like her usual gang of fringers, think Beavis/Butthead. 2- Somehow, translating "testicles" into Spanish is supposed to make them acceptable in public discourse. Did her Fundie supporters like it if they knew what it means? 3- Why is a male anatomic part supposed to cast favorability when talking about a female (ANGLE or BREWER)?

* Last week, Barbara WALTERS said it, but pronouncing it "CA-jones." Now, she really *is* cosmopolitan, has at least set foot in places where Spanish is spoken and has probably engaged in diddling with Spanish speaking people. Yet she retains a patina of dowdiness, so perhaps she thinks she still needs a hipster flash.

* A test: Is this (in your native language) a word you would use in front of your grandmother, even your grandfather, in front of the opposite sex or children? Why is it better in Spanish with those same people?

* The use is fake, sweating really hard to look cool/hip/kewl, trying to appear knowlegeable and showing the opposite, but most of all, a variety of Shrub-like TUFF TAWK, bluster.
