Complaining about the degradation of the public realm, while simulatanously degrading the vernacular. There's all kinds of vulgar words we could turn into edgy verbs, but I hope we don't.

The pearl clutching over which words people use and “degrading the vernacular” is embarrassing. It’s just a word. Words change, languages change, there is no pristine noble ideal language to pursue or maintain here.
