GG:

I dunno if you ever finished going and soaking your head when another 'Catter directed you too recently. But please rinse and repeat. I am not speaking from hatred and your aspersions are some kind of bitter projection on your part. I do appreciate your wisdom in that last paragraph, though.

The thought occurs to me that it is possible the Schustermeister may have been betrayed by his own generations wilful disdain for the traditional meanings of words and their fascination with rap. There may be many steps of differentiation between the word "pimp" as we understood it twenty years ago, and the easy slang into which he slipped discussing Chelsea-- so he may have been just as shocked by the reactions he got as his listeners were at the language he used. Not to excuse his ignorance or barbaric attitude in any degree, but it goes to show ya what happens when you take just any ole meaning for words you pick up in the gutter instead of the dictionary.
