Very late on parade here...
As far as the line that started all this, a quick-witted lino, provided she heard the comment, could well have replied:
"It doesn't suit me!"
Maybe that's just an obvious response for those of us who grew up with Milligan & co. and that whole rich vein of absurdist comedy that runs easily from ITMA through the Goons and Beyond the Fringe to the Pythons and their descendants. Indeed the Goons did use that particular line and comeback (Henry and Min the speakers, but I can't remember which episode).
And otherwise, context, as has been pointed out, is always important. Some of you might remember my story from the old C&B days, of a whiter-than-white colleague who was once told by a black man in America that he (my colleague) could call him (the black man) a nigger whereas other whites in their group could not. In their particular context it all made sense, but as my colleague knew, that was not an invitation to use the term elsewhere, or to others.
Ultimately, it's a question of manners, though comedy has sometimes to run very close to the borders.

Oh she's a slag and he's a creep
She's a tart, he's very cheap
She is a slut, he thinks he's tough
She is a bitch, he is a puff

What a car crash thread until right at the end. Big fan of Graham Fellows.

And yes, satirical comedies that might be considered taboo are still made. Family Guy, Any Sacha Baron Cohen film, for example. It’s such a nonsensical argument to suggest they’re not.Offcomedun likes this. -

I am against isms of most things however in this increasingly PC country can it really be said that respect for women and ethnic minorities has improved I would say not.
Bias racism and misogyny may have been repressed but it’s bubbling up to boiling point under the surface far worse than the old daysStop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...
