Hey, I’ll be on 610 Sports in KC today around 2 ET.
And here’s a random thought…
I was listening to Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable” today. Gotta say I dig it, even though there are some parts of it I find to be a little laughable. Chief among them is the idea that she’s going to take back everything she ever bought for dude. Sorry, boss, but that ain’t how it goes. The only thing you should be able to get back is an engagement ring. That’s it.
But see, that got me to thinking. When I was a kid, we had a term for people that gave stuff to folks and then asked for those things back. That term has since been deemed offensive and politically incorrect–as well it should have been.
But has anyone else noticed that nothing synonymous and less offensive has been coined to replace that term? To me, that’s a problem. People who do that are the scourge of the Earth. There’s got to be a way we can lambaste them so that we can casually refer to such people that instantly evokes a negative picture. Something that can be said in four syllables or less.
Suggestions?

It’s not a perfect fit, but I’ve been using renege-rs.
I wouldn’t mind another something that doesn’t mind me so much of Dave Chappelle’s blind Klansman sketch, though.

Bomani,
Got a G-code question for ya. Here’s the situation – there’s this girl that I’ve had feelings for for three years. Problem was that for two and a half of those three years, she was dating one guy. They recently broke up, but there was something else going on at the time, and I waited too long to ask her out. She’s currently dating this guy that I’m not a big fan of, for a lot of reasons. Over the next few months, I’m going to be working with her pretty closely on something for an organization we’re in. Now, I would never try to do anything overt, but I do, of course, want to put my best foot forward. Is that acceptable under the code? What’s the limit of it?
Thanks a lot

I’m not sure what the phrase should be, but if it doesn’t involve Oran “Juice” Jones, I don’t know if I could truly feel right about it.

My offering on the matter…
No tradebacks, b*tch.
