Default Is liberal a naughty word?

This isn't if you think it should be a naughty word or not. This is if we use it or see it as a naughty word. Vote and discuss.

The word "liberal" as it appears most often in this forum is a pejorative used by those who do not understand its meaning, and applied towards those who do not embody that which it describes.

I imagine the vast majority of this forum know what a liberal is. Kinda weird being on a political forum if you didn't..

Liberal is an offensive word. Every time I hear it I think of John Howard and those green and yellow tracksuits...

Doesn't "liberal" have a different definition for you in Not America?

it is to the far right.

check the main entries for liberal and conservative per the o.e.d.:

Quote:
liberal


adjective 1 willing to respect and accept behaviour or opinions different from one’s own.

conservative


adjective 1 averse to change and holding traditional values.
if liberal is a naughty word, then i need to be spanked.

Well Mr JMS, I was conservative with my spanking, but liberal with my requests, being naughty but nice is one of the pleasures at my age that is rather redundant, I am pigeon holed in a more unpleasant way by those who dont know me or care to believe that my body is weak but my mind and hearing are still good, for a laugh, my wing is still left, and flapping!
