Bad And Wrong


A thing not merely Bad (morally incorrect) or Wrong (logically incorrect or extremely inappropriate) but both.

Some (approximate) examples:

Using 'gay' in the Pejorative Sense. Hmm. In some fields, such as computer games criticism, and South Park, this has virtually reached the status of a recognised technical designation.

True, though this doesn't necessarily make it less Bad And Wrong. I'm guilty myself, I'm just dubious about the implications... Still, I guess Language Is A Tool.

Uhuhuhuhuhuhuh. You said 'tool'.

Settle down, Beavis.
