      I’m curious what word you tried to use. I didn’t think “fuck” was filtered on dot ml.

      “Bitchin’”?

              I mean, I can think of plenty of slurs with innocuous origins. It’s about how they’re used.

                True, though “bitchin’” isn’t used as a slur in this context, it’s slang for “cool.” Since like 1970 too, it isn’t some “new rizz.”

                If we want to get technical, a slur is “A disparaging remark; an aspersion.” So by the dictionary, any negative remark, especially one that is a false or damaging accusation or insinuation, is “a slur.” Therefore “you are a silly goose” counts as a slur, as it can be contextually negative to be seen as silly, and it is false to insinuate that you are a water fowl.

                We don’t really treat the word “slur” in real life as it’s definition would suggest, or to reign in my above joke a bit, words like “fuckface” or “dick” would commonly be considered a slur. Instead they’re just considered negative remarks by the community at large, to be a “slur” in the eyes of the public (not the dictionary) it has to have something more than just “bad.”

                I posit that “bitch” is truly no different than those common “bad” words, and should not be considered a slur. Frankly, same for “cunt.”

                  Haven’t read their policy – simply saying origin is a useless way to determine whether or not something is a slur.

            I know… it’s pretty much written into marriage vows, “till death do us part or one of us stops pissing from the deck”. She needs to fulfill her duties and start joining him at night on the deck

              You’d have to have quite a lot of last few drops to smell up the place. Or some ridiculously potent piss.

                Not if he does it every night. A few drops after a few weeks is a fair bit and wood soaks up liquid pretty good.

                  Wood for an outside deck isn’t going to be soaking up much liquid, or the deck would turn to shit after a couple rainstorms. It’s probably pressure treated

              If Upper Decking someone is taking a dump in the toilet tank, what would pissing in the humidifier be called?

              “Watering the lawn” is about all I can come up with & I think it’s a pretty shit name. Need some more suggestions…

              Also, my brother & I had go cart growing up. One afternoon we ran that thing until engine overheated, leaving us stranded.

              Being an impatient lil redneck, my brother decided to whip it out & piss on the engine to cool it off…

              Hot piss smells fuckin awful…

            Because liquids are absorbed by the ground and don’t dry up. Pee stinks when drying up, not when being in the ground.

            Unless the guy pisses on the porch or in a serious heat wave/drought, its not gonna stink as the ground sucks the pee in.

      Nitrogen content in your piss is pretty high and can end up killing your grass in excess. It looks like OP’s husband pisses in two spots right beside the stairs so the nitrogen will accumulate there.

      Judging by the shrubs there could be a little garden down there the wife cares about, or she wants the habit cut so there’s not a yellow splotch that guests are being funneled between.

      … Or plain old prudery. Who truly knows~

        Unless hes literally pissing gallons a day on the same spot, or they live in a severely dry area, this is not a concern, rain and other sources like morning dew will dilute and wash it away. Plants aren’t that sensitive to it.

      A family friend shared 2 problems she’s been dealing with since moving into her house:

      1. The ground is all clay so it’s impossible to grow anything without bringing in a crapload of dirt
      2. The septic has an issue and has to be pumped every 3 weeks

      I pointed out that clearly they need to be using the septic to fertilize the flower beds to solve both problems but for some reason she didn’t like that idea…
