When my people are gone and all that's left is an adjective, will you defend my people?
Granted most of the wank at Daily Kos is patently unfunny these pre-primary days. (Which candidate sucks more, is Hillary a whore, is Daily Kos more homophobic or racist, who is the most oppressed of all? *blergh*)

But the following brought the funny and has not even anything to do with politics pre se, so it goes here.

Mike Erwin posts a Diary complaining about being troll-rated/piled on for complaining over an ethnic slur in another Diary.

Doesn't sound funny yet?

Turns out the "ethnic slur" that offended the OP so much is "vandalize".

Commenters fall all over each other with snark and bad puns.

I LoLed.

Yeah, it took me ages to get that "gypped" was a slur, mostly because a) I hadn't ever used it much anyway and b) I had only heard it said and not seen it written, so I thought it was spelled "jipped" and didn't get the connection that way. (Also as a kid I had this idea that gypsies weren't actually real and were like, the fantasy version of the Roma/Romany and only appeared in books and films, like fantasy pirates.)
