The use of the two words and their connotations has been discussed at length on these boards before.
At the time it caused a split of opinion and included, indirectly, the temporary and regrettable banning of a member.
It was decided then, that it was best for all concerned to avoid using the word(s) at all.

While I understand djchameleon's point of view and agree that the word is being reclaimed by his generation, a good thing for the future of the word in my opinion, there are others here that feel strongly about the use of the word in any context.

So, at the risk of being a bore and before the complaints start, can we please avoid using it at all.
