In fast-breaking news today: the pejorative phrase "broke-dick mamalucca" is shortly to be officially designated as hate propaganda and banned under new anti-hate legislation, along with other infamous expressions like "n------", "c--------", and "z-----------g".

This will come as a great relief to legions of people who have suffered deep and lasting trauma and emotional damage from being called a "b------d----m------", but it will no doubt prompt vigorous challenges from a vociferous but tiny minority of people who still claim that it is their right of free speech to use this hateful label and inflict it upon others.

Expect to see a lengthy period of court challenges and high profile cases over this. It will get nasty. Those in favour of eliminating this kind of hateful rhetoric can take comfort in the certainty that when the Supreme Court finally puts its stamp of approval on the total ban that all those recalcitrant people who still insist on calling others "b-------d------m-----"'s will be incarcerated in a top security holding facility in Ohio and made to clean out old pigpens till they repent of their misdeeds.
