The r/writing subreddit Principle 

Share definition Flag
The r/writing subreddit Principle states that if your question starts with the words "Is it ok" or something similar to that then the answer is invariably yes.
"Hello, r/writing. Can I use a particular gimmick or a plot device that has been used before but because I don't actually read books or do any research I just assume it to be a highly original idea?"

"According to the r/writing subreddit Principle, the answer is always yes. You can write whatever you want."

"But is it ok if, like, my main character dies in the end? I'm afraid the average reader will be put off by my creative genius."

"Yes! Stop asking other people for validation! Grow a backbone and write what you want!"

The R-word

Share definition Flag
Finally! 38 years after George Carlin's comedy routine, "The Seven Words You Can't Say on Television", the eighth word has been born. The R-word stands for "Retard" which is now banned thanks to state house rallies in Massachusetts, Indiana and Ohio. Rallies included earnest do-gooders marching around with a dozen "differently abled", mentally challenged citizens who are no longer called retarded but were told they were offended by the use of it.

Thanks to the rally, you can hear the R-word shouted at least 900 times a day in middle school and high school hallways.
Welcome to banishment, "Retard"!
"The rainy spring retarded the growth of the lettuce and asparagus," observed Dad one Saturday morning.
"Dad!" gasped PC thug vegetarian daughter, "You're not allowed to say the R-word!"
"Heh, heh, heh, RETARDED!" laughed obnoxious little brother.
