And for another, "Goodness, I'm going to regret this later, ain't I?" quote, I present the following. I was boarding as a Single Rider on the Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland Park, and was sharing an elevator with a Wheelchair party of several teenagers, of whom one had obviously broken her leg.
This quote comes from another member of her party after they had problems navigating the chair into the elevator:
"God damn it! I hate your being a cripple!"
There are just some things you don't
ever say, this being one of them.

I know I call my friends cripples when they break things as it is generally because they were doing something stupid.

I recently saw a commercial about "That is so Gay." where EM and J are clerks talking about how so gay something was. The customer then says "that is so Em and J" The girls then look dumbfounded like why was their names being used. For us cripples and handicapped people we do not like things like retard and crippled to be used as an insult or to indicate inferior mechandise. Just substitute a quality of yours to see what I mean. That is so white, that is so male, that is so Kurt. I will now go to Zazu's time out corner and chill and wait for banishment because I am a fat hispanic female so I have few fighting words as I been called almost every name in the book related to what I am but I do not cotton to people bad mouthing the disabled or any group.

Sorry I ruffled your feathers Churchy. I just tend to use it as sarcasm because they broke their x and are complaining that their z doesn't work because of it. Or because I am having to cart them around in a wheelchair because they broke their finger on a football.

When someone gets hurt on the jobs, we have a nickname of "Gimpy." :)
