That sanctimonious faggot.

Some hypocritical dipshit thinks it's perfectly acceptable to defend gays by referring to homophobes as "that santimonious cunt".

Hope you don't mind, but from now on I'm just going to start using the phrase "santimonious faggot".

I don't expect that phrase to bother anyone, nor do I expect anyone to complain. In fact, I expect at least 8 people to favorite my comment every time I say it. I also don't expect that comment to be flagged by anything but kitchen appliances.

For some reason 'cunt' dosen't carry quite the same baggage in the UK that it does here in the colonies.

Yeah, in the UK it's like saying "asshole" and it's not just directed at women (he's using it to describe a man in that post) and it's not the horrible term we associate it with here in the US.

Can we shut this down before it gets even nastier than it started out?

Yeah, not a lot of good can come from this, so I'm closing it up.
