Your definition is wrong, do not use it

I dont know how to call black people, without being a racist.

Yeah, this is actually really funny sometimes. People are quick to call anyone who look remotely Chinese, Pakistani, Indian, Korean etc. Asian (when it's not really that hard to tell even Korean, Japanese, Thai etc apart) yet when they see someone who is black, they stop, look around then whisper, they were 'black'. People seem to think calling someone black is racist, yet calling someone white or Asian is completely fine.

Not a huge pet peeve, it's easy to link wikipedia or a online dictionary.

As to why some people feel it's racist to criticize their beliefs, they most likely were taught at a young age to believe in X, and that's why they feel that it's a part of their identity. Which is still wrong, but there's an probable explanation.

lag
/lag/

Enclose or cover (a boiler, pipes, etc.) with material that provides heat insulation.

So these are not related to low FPS? Ok.

Being called 'antisemitic' when you are being critical of what the Israeli government does (settlement, blockading Gaza, bombing Syria, threatening illegal pre-emptive attacks left right and center). That so pisses me off! I call them out for acting like dicks - them being jewish has NOTHING to do with it! But reliably like a clockwork, woops, out comes the antisemitism-bat to shame all critics into silence.

The same goes for being called 'rightwing extremist' or 'xenophobe' just for demanding stricter immigration regulation (in Germany there are hardly any - if you have relatives here you're basically free to immigrate regardless of education, willingness to integrate or find a job, or to learn German). Demanding a system like e.g. Canada has, where you have to earn a certain amount of points (for learning English, providing diplomas, securing an employment within a certain timeframe, etc.) before being allowed to stay permanently, would here be a sure way to be branded a 'brown' right-winger by the nauseatingly politically correct media and politicians. As would be to demand the expatriation of non-German criminals. You see, there's a reason why 9/11 was planned in Germany: all efforts to control who is allowed in and who isn't are met by the 'nazi bat'. They have totally bastardized the definitions of xenophobia and rightwing extremism to apply to anyone that isn't leftist. The common sense-using center is pretty much gone nowadays. It's sickening.

Socialism, communism and all related terms.

It feels like almost no one in the US actually knows what they mean.

-Gamer, when a person uses the word describing a person that is a loser or something similar. Gaming is probably the only hobby i know that has so much negative views from people that do not play any games and at the same time have developed a view for that hobby for some reason

Professional wrestling fan I think has even more negative views from non-fans than gamer

[Zogarth]

The term Socialism. People does not seem to know the difference between socialism and communism... pisses me off.

[Orlong]

Oh tons of them people that put race before the country and say they are American. Example African-American.Mexican-American Where you born here? Yes well guess what you're american that pissed me off to no end.

As shise said lag when its FPS.

Peole that use irony wrong, really its a common ass word these days and people still use it wrong.

I have alot others but those are biggest 3

Id go one step further. Even using the word "race" to describe a black/white/asian/latino etc.. person. Those are ethnic descriptors not races. Human is the Race

[teddytous]

Another one: electrocuted

You mean people who use it for non-lethal electrical shocks correct? Just curious if that or something else.

This one is highly amusing and kinda contradicts the person.

You know how often you get idiots spamming stuff in trade chat, well nothing takes the cake when someone spams or yells "YOLO" - for those that don't know what it means, it means "you only live once".

It just make me wonder why would anyone that even lives by that or preaches that even spend an ounce of their time in a game like World of Warcraft.

I agree. I also hate when people say PST me, or send me a PST. Send me a please sent tell makes no sense. Of course people still say NIC card and ATM machine. Automatic Teller Machine machine!! lol

The term Socialism. People does not seem to know the difference between socialism and communism... pisses me off.

On a related note, people who call North Korea or China 'communist'. They aren't! Communism works in theory, in practice it has never really existed.

"It's been a real hit and miss lately" - My god the amount of people that say this or a derivative of this is insane.

[ripponesan]

I have lag, when they have low FPS

Well what a happy day for you, there is something to learn.
Go to wikipedia or any other almanach and look up lag.
Addording to the definition of lag, low FPS counts towards that.

What you are refering to is the reason of the lag, which in your eyes makes it only lag when it refers to internet/network connectivity.
I know exactly what you mean since i felt that way for years as well until i took my time and read the definition of lag with an open mind.

"Restructure" in business which normally means firing people.

Apartheid. It's something that our government officials use as an excuse for their incompetence.

"I am trolling so hard right now" when insulting others. I mean sure, insulting others does indeed get them angry at times but if you're just being mad, you are probably the one being trolled.

I'm not sure if these fit in, but if you do any of the following you need a slap. Use the word irregardless. Use of instead of have. Use idiocracy instead of idiocy.

People seem to think calling someone black is racist, yet calling someone white or Asian is completely fine.

I guess people go into the arguement that black people aren't really black and white people aren't really white which is kind of silly.
But calling someone Asian isn't the same as calling someone black or white, you'd have to call them yellow. And i think Asians or atleast some would probably be bothered being called yellow all the time instead of Asian.

OT: Political correctness, People on MMO-C seem to rather throw that around on pretty much everything.
