Calling the OP a "piece of cake" is sexist, racist, homophobic, ageist, and cakeist.

Just kidding!

I know what I do is not name-calling...

I think your idea is an excellent one!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all of those words were no longer used? If there could be sensible discussions of opposing views, instead of conversation stopping epithets?

I try not to do too much name calling. Of course, I do it sometimes, but usually it's a lame attempt to be funny rather than an attempt to insult for the sake of it.

and that is only for trolls who have been turfed but their posts are still alive. Can I name-call in that instance, please? If not then, well, all bets are off!

33. You Never Even Called Me By My Name - David Allen Coe
Wed Jan 25, 2012, 04:17 PM
Jan 2012

Well it was all that I could do to keep from crying.
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain.
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'.
You never even called me by my name.

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings.
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore,
Even though you're on my fightin' side.

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me.
And I never minded standing in the rain.
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'.
You never even called me by my name.

Well I've heard my name a few times in your phone book.
(Hello, Hello.)
And I've seen it on signs where I've played.
But the only time I know I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final Judgement Day.

So, I'll hang around as long as you will let me.
And I never minded standing in the rain.
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'.
You never even called me by my name.

(spoken
Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song,
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song.
I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the
perfect country and western song because he hadn't said
anything at all about momma, or trains, or trucks,
or prison or gettin' drunk. Well, he sat down and
wrote another verse to this song and he sent it to me and
after reading it I realized that my friend had written the
perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include
it on this album. The last verse goes like this here:

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.
