The language of our culture seems to control us. That’s why Democrats & Republicans are always fighting to establish the terms of debates, choosing words that polling has suggested will influence thinking. But we can fight back! We can change language around in small ways. Here’s one: Redefine the slang word pussy to mean, “tough & cool” as in, “I’m a big fan of A-Rod. He’s pussy cool, man.”
This may be easier than you think! One way to help is to vote Thumbs Up for my definition of “pussy” that I have entered in UrbanDictionary.Com. It’s currently definition #49, nestled into the hundreds of offensive definitions that alleged people have submitted. It was in the 60’s a few days ago, so it’s moving up toward the top of the list as people vote thumbs up for it & thumbs down for the ones ahead of it. You can vote once per day.
Thank you for doing your part to improve the lives of kids in playgrounds everywhere. Soon, when a kid is called a pussy, he/she will take it as a compliment.
