Phaenx, I respect a lot of what you have to say, but I have to call you on this one.

I was talking about myself, my friends, and my family (in large part), but it also applies to most everywhere now that I think of it. I hear spades of people use it in Columbus, even in other cities. Go hang out with some young folks who aren't at work, they use it constantly. Older folks use it as well. Doesn't mean they're trying to be hurtful or derogative, though the word certainly can be used derogatively, hence the neutrality.
