This is NEWS to me.
I'll take the liberty o...Wow! This is NEWS to me. <br /><br />I'll take the liberty of saying I know a certain cop pretty well and I have NEVER, EVER, EVER! heard him or any other say they don't like the word cop. In fact, I've had him and other cops refer to themselves as the "po-po." Pronounced like you were saying the last part of Edgar Allan Poe's name twice. <br /><br />For me, I REALLY do not like THAT word because<br />a. It sounds derogatory.<br />b. I babysat for a family for years that all referred to the little girl's genitalia as her "po-po." <br />c. It just gives me the heebie-jeebies.<br /><br />I appreciate the education, and am anxious to talk to others about this, but I have NEVER heard that cop is an offensive word. I mean, I know that they don't like being called pig or bacon. But, NO ONE wants to be called a pig because being thin is deeply engrained into our society's imagine of beauty. That's a topic that I won't get into any further here though.<br /><br />Don't worry about it too much because I know I put my foot in the mouthJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383804603177373501noreply@blogger.com
