@CGC Mike Mike - the phrase in question is a reference to popular culture. Are you saying that the perceived offence to women associated with that phrase is the issue

'Tree fiddy' is a reference to ebonics.  One could say it is 'making fun of black people'.  No one's ever had an issue with it because it's not.  TWSS is likewise not 'making fun of' or 'demeaning' women.

I'm going out on a limb to say that, No, nobody would think that 

Except racists I suppose

You're dragging this out unnecessarily Kav. The repetition is the issue.

By the same people

Over and over

Not by the same person a hundred times a week.

So youre calling me a racist.  Nice.  There is nothing wrong with ebonics or how black culture speaks.  One would be a racist to think that.

So is that the metric we're using?  Its not ok if the same person does it, but if everyone does it, its ok.

Not what I meant, but alright 

Guess I should have said you're dragging it out unnecessarily

We are in this pickle because at some point, you are no longer allowed to walk up to a person and politely explain how annoying they are.

With respect 

It either flies over the subjects head or they get offended

How annoying they are to SOME people.  I find greggy and other's use of TWSS hilarious.  And i'm far from alone.
As I said i find doo-doo and butt jokes annoying and childish.  So what.  I'm not in charge of everything.

It's the metric Mike is proposing Kav. Check with him if you're unclear.

My take though - if someone says "how much is this worth", someone will say "tree fiddy" and that's the end of it. It's a scramble to see who says it first, but it's said once. But if one person posts "tree fiddy" 16 times a day, in response to every second post that they read, regardless of its appropriateness, then that's a completely different thing. And annoying to many, as this discussion is beginning to reveal.

That is absolutely valid

I suppose what Mike has to do is decide for the forum, what is pertinent and what isn't

So there will always be someone who complains. Always. Human nature 

Then the next thing that happens there is bias everywhere, and this place turns into a toxic stew of what they said

I'm counting 2 or 3 people here that find it annoying and the majority have no issue with it.  I dispute the use of the word'many'.

Whether it's many or a handful that find it annoying, Mike is one of them and he's asked for it to stop.

Actually, the position should be 100% impartial

And you don't know that. He'll come and tell us if either of us are wrong, I'm sure.
