You don't owe me an apology at all for simply quoting Mr. M's usage. The
only reason I posted this was to support your suggestion that he doesn't
care what he says or who he offends. That will work fine in a community
of one.
In this day and age I do have some special words reserved for men who
follow in my father's footsteps. :-)

Indeed, in this day and age, it is generally accepted that there is
really no shame associated with such a status, thankfully. It is
unfortunate that some phrases of controversial lineage persist in our
language, thus causing offense - often unintentionally. The fact that
such words have taken on new meaning and have become embedded in our
language is insidious. Take, for example, the word crusade.
If my repetition of Mr. McNamara's usage contributed to the
persistence of something that offends you, I offer my apology. And
perhaps the original post was thus offensive on two counts.
But we digress...

And I pointed out that I am actually a bastard child. It was not my
choice. I was born that way. The word should not be used as an
intended insult. I didn't notice any apology to me or my late mother
posted in response. I mean, I don't call people "jeremys" or
"canadians" in order to sound insulting.
