NEW RULE

Adjectives are creative.

Jerry Lewis: “Oh, cricket? It's a fagot game. What are you, nuts?”

Lewis’ slur was offensive, repugnant, and vile. His slur was also irrelevant. In America, homophobia occurs everyday. Adjective assault is never noticed.

Adjectives are imperative. Adjectives exhibit anger, intelligence, scorn, and wit. They elevate our conversations. They enliven our situations. He is puerile. She is spectacular. Homophobia is abhorrent. Lewis is asinine. Utilizing a slur screams stupidity. Utilizing appropriate adjectives screams thesaurus.
