If a writer would trade the platform for money then they were always in the wrong business, imo.
You're a mong too.

Mong!

Emperor Mong if you don't mind.
I'm going to stop calling people mongs now.
But come on...60 million v comedy? If I had 60 million quid I'd make people laugh alright. I'd have a personal "laugher" to giggle at my jokes full time.

I feel really weird about lusting after the cleavage of a 70-year-old woman with a stuffed animal at her bosom.
As a dyslexic and an idiot I usually call people gnoms

My brother tells me off when I use that word.

We'll use "mongoloid" on occasion, but "mong" would probably remind people of the Hmong and Clint Eastwood.

I suspect that as the term 'mongoloid' has it self become archaic, that most people simply do not make the connection.
Is the time ripe for reviving spastic as a light-hearted term of abuse?
