Which is exactly why I was surprised when I first saw it used by the left to designate the horrible English of the TP.
I don’t quite understand. Can you clarify that a bit more?
If it means ‘bad English’ for one group and it is modified to point to another group’s ‘bad English” (the TeaParty) then it is specific to that one group’s bad English. At that point the only thing left that should be offensive is residual.
By the way, I don’t use it, but I find language fascinating. I weep that we seem to be cutting out colorfulness and cementing the bland.
