 (0 children)   basically, if offends people, then just don't
use it. "Hysterics" has such a meaning these days that it's
hardly comparable to what we're discussing but if it was
offending someone I simply would find a different word.  I'm not
personally offended by "faggot" or "that's so gay" anymore but I
know there's young people struggling with their sexuality and
the only time they hear "gay" being brought up is when someone
wants to insult someone else.
