The word 'rape'

3,834 187 May 29, 2011 at 07:26 AM in Question
Some of you have already read this because I posted this on my fb status but I feel like its worth repeating. We bought (financed) a mattress today and the guy who was selling it to us told us to make sure to pay it off before the interest free period ends because "They will rape you, they will absolutely rape you, they won't even take you to dinner first."
Was that okay for him to say? I thought it was unprofessional and I personally would never use the word rape in every day context like that. It takes away from the severity of the meaning.

Why is it that n-word is the only racist word that is filtered out?

Just to be clear, what he said did not offend me, I was just surprised he used it and would personally never use such a term to describe overcharging, or anything else that isn't the act of rape itself.

Quote from LinuxChick :
I was just saying that in this litigious society I have seen people sue on the basis of far less. If a pattern of behavior could be proven or corroborated there is a greedy plaintiff just waiting.

Who was that comedian who joked that he loved seeing white people try to sing rap songs that got stuck in their head because they never knew what to do when the N word came up? laugh out loud So true.
I like Say Anything's cover of I Got Your Money, where they say n word.

Merriam Webster:

Poem. Epic parody of high society. One of the themes is people making much ado over nothing. Taking themselves and their petty situations too seriously.

I think "rake you over the coals" would have sufficed.
