I tend to disagree with Xepherys's point. We ARE judged by the words we speak. We are also judged by how we use those words. If we use words in a way that is perceived as derogatory, we are judged by that...no matter what our intent was!
Anyhow, I'm not sure whether the following proves Xepherys's point, or everyone else's. I have always found this to be funny, and particularly poignant in a number of instances...this is one of them.
