"waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, often shortened to fag, is a pejorative term and common slur used chiefly in North America against homosexual males" (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin. 2000. ISBN 0618701729).
In case you don't know... Pejorative:
1. having a disparaging, derogatory, or belittling effect or force
2. words or grammatical forms that connote negativity and express contempt or distaste.
I've driven an s2000, and I fully agree with that statement. We swapped cars (mine was a 2000 M5 in need of much cosmetic work) for a couple hours, and it was an absolute blast to drive in the back roads. I would imagine that an s2000 would be a helluva lot more fun than any non-M bmw, maybe not in a DD situation, but certainly in the fun department.
Certainly. Its very much like the e30 m3. If Honda had made a coupe s2000 with the 9k rpm redline, I would bought one for sure. I chose the m3 because it provides 90 percent of the fun with twice the practicality. Also it has a bmw roundel.
. My friend has a Honda s2000 and it is one of the most fun cars I ever driven. More fun than- dare I say- a BMW.

"Children's primary caregivers are virtually always female. Because a daughter is developing a gender identity similar to her principal caregiver's (her mother), she can readily model her mother's behavior. But a boy cannot model his mother's behavior and also develop a culturally consistent gender identity. He learns instead that he is "not female." He must suppress feelings of overwhelming love, attachment, and dependence on his mother leaving his gender identity less secure ( W. Pollack 1998 )."
ha ha what?? this makes no sense! i never understood this psycology crap...
JBird, I don't disagreed, but this is the internet, chock full 'o just about every demographic you can find including bigots. You can ignore people who offend you, just like in real life. Works for the insecure enthusiasts in question, too.
Id say about 95% of Honda owners are waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless.
Kid who goes to my school put a shift knob and a shift boot on his automatic car. To make it look like he has a 5 speed. Fag
Using the words 'waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless' and 'fag' in a derogatory way offends me. Using these words in this way, is using them as a synonym for something that is bad.
The use of 'retarded' can also pretty hateful. Is calling something inferior 'retarded' acceptable? I don't think so. It conveys the same hateful connotation onto 'retarded' as the usage of 'gay' in the same context.
If a word is used out of its general context in place of one meaning 'inferior', then that word comes to mean 'inferior' too.
You know...I kind of see it more as boys being insecure with their masculinity and having to prove their masculinity through the car they drive. Especially the boys with the huge jacked-up-the-ass pickup trucks.
As my current Sociology book says from the class I'm taking...
"Children's primary caregivers are virtually always female. Because a daughter is developing a gender identity similar to her principal caregiver's (her mother), she can readily model her mother's behavior. But a boy cannot model his mother's behavior and also develop a culturally consistent gender identity. He learns instead that he is "not female."
