Angry, Annoyed, and Amused!
Words have power—but how do they get it? This week the boys tackle one of the most interesting (and controversial) subjects in modern language: the evolution of slurs. Without repeating or promoting offensive language, we explore how certain words became slurs, why new ones emerge, and how society decides when a word crosses the line. We also dive into the digital age, where internet culture, social media, gaming communities, and even artificial intelligence have created entirely new ways of insulting people. Can a robot be insulted? Does AI have "slurs?" Are terms like NPC, bot, or clanker the beginning of a new generation of language?
