Why is Point-Whore being phased out as an acceptable eZabel Phrase?

Asked by hunkpapap · Apr 30, 2004 · Answered by hunkpapap hunkpapap · 33 views

If you really need this explained to you, you need more help than you realize. The term whore in itself is a fairly vulgar and derogatory term and is not acceptable in common speech, so it is appreciated that this and all kinds of similar language not be spoken (or typed) here on eZabel. It has been noted that this is the exception rather than the norm on this public website and this particular term has not been used much as of late.

So a more acceptable and gender considerate term would be Point-Debutante. Or Point-Hoarder, as this rolls off the tongue similar to the expression known to everyone.

In addition, it is particularly inconsiderate to refer to a particular person as a Point-Hoarder or deem them the same as this expression (i.e., "stop GFS Rocks-ing all over my journal you Point-&*$%#..).

These are things that reflect on you as a person, so remember, insensitivity and improper literate decorum only make you look like the fool.
