    If I ever make it to the point where I have a removedin’ deck overlooking some fine wilderness then you’re damn right I’m gonna piss off it.

      I’m curious what word you tried to use. I didn’t think “fuck” was filtered on dot ml.

      “Bitchin’”?

              I mean, I can think of plenty of slurs with innocuous origins. It’s about how they’re used.

                True, though “bitchin’” isn’t used as a slur in this context, it’s slang for “cool.” Since like 1970 too, it isn’t some “new rizz.”

                If we want to get technical, a slur is “A disparaging remark; an aspersion.” So by the dictionary, any negative remark, especially one that is a false or damaging accusation or insinuation, is “a slur.” Therefore “you are a silly goose” counts as a slur, as it can be contextually negative to be seen as silly, and it is false to insinuate that you are a water fowl.

                We don’t really treat the word “slur” in real life as it’s definition would suggest, or to reign in my above joke a bit, words like “fuckface” or “dick” would commonly be considered a slur. Instead they’re just considered negative remarks by the community at large, to be a “slur” in the eyes of the public (not the dictionary) it has to have something more than just “bad.”

                I posit that “bitch” is truly no different than those common “bad” words, and should not be considered a slur. Frankly, same for “cunt.”

                  No, it’s automatic based on a filter list. I wonder if it accounts for other languages though.

                  Haven’t read their policy – simply saying origin is a useless way to determine whether or not something is a slur.

                I’m sorry have y’all not seen racists using that as a slur lately? Saw a dude refer to Baltimore’s “DEI mayor” the other day

          “I see,” said the blind man
          to his deaf dog
          who was sitting on the corner of the round table
          on the third floor of their two-story building.

            I know… it’s pretty much written into marriage vows, “till death do us part or one of us stops pissing from the deck”. She needs to fulfill her duties and start joining him at night on the deck

                Not if he does it every night. A few drops after a few weeks is a fair bit and wood soaks up liquid pretty good.

                  Wood for an outside deck isn’t going to be soaking up much liquid, or the deck would turn to shit after a couple rainstorms. It’s probably pressure treated

      Nitrogen content in your piss is pretty high and can end up killing your grass in excess. It looks like OP’s husband pisses in two spots right beside the stairs so the nitrogen will accumulate there.

      Judging by the shrubs there could be a little garden down there the wife cares about, or she wants the habit cut so there’s not a yellow splotch that guests are being funneled between.

      … Or plain old prudery. Who truly knows~

        Unless hes literally pissing gallons a day on the same spot, or they live in a severely dry area, this is not a concern, rain and other sources like morning dew will dilute and wash it away. Plants aren’t that sensitive to it.

      In the original POST, OP says that it’s killing the shrubs down there.

      Suggestions included making a designated piss spot or moving the shrubs. Not, you know, just respecting your wife enough to not piss off the deck if asked.

        If you want to use urine as a fertilizer it should be diluted and spread out.

        But anyway, a quick Google search says urine ranges from 4 to 8 pH. Unless you’re peeing in the same spot every day I highly doubt it would be much of a problem.

      A family friend shared 2 problems she’s been dealing with since moving into her house:

      1. The ground is all clay so it’s impossible to grow anything without bringing in a crapload of dirt
      2. The septic has an issue and has to be pumped every 3 weeks

      I pointed out that clearly they need to be using the septic to fertilize the flower beds to solve both problems but for some reason she didn’t like that idea…
