Your argument can be reframed as "I like to be covered in jam and spanked by Fern Brittan".

Because, you see, when we change words, we change the meaning of a statement.

I seem to recall being taught that this form of argument was the fallacy of argument by false analogy.

Anyway, re-reading your attack on the use of chav, you not only display your prejudice that you presume that by using the word chav that low income is implied, but then explicitly attempt to make an equivalence between the word "nigger" and "chav", which manages to be insulting to afro-caribbeans and those on low incomes, due to the previous equivalence of "chav" and low income that your previous statement implied.

I thus nominate your post for the most stupid thing I've read this week.

And yer mum.

Thankyou, my cow-irker, for clearing up the Tsunami for us. All one person. With a degree. She may reproduce in the future.
