Well, when I pass old drivers and all you see is a tuft of white hair sticking up above the head rest I call them "Q-tips".

Been seeing ALOT more of them around, too!  :D

You ain't spoiled anything. It's just a vocal minority trying to spoil it by over-reacting.

BTW would anyone like to know what a lot of lower class Southern black folks call each other?

What about Dill weed ?
I know Dill hole is common, but my mom always Dill weed.
I assume it's probably just as common, but I've only live outside northern California for a few months when I was 3 so I wouldn't know what's just regional / local.

I will chime in. Should he have said it? No, probably not. Thing is he reallly didn't  say it and after he did he regretted
It. Took care of itself. Forget about it and move on. We are adults here . Lets act like it.
