B- whatever it is, it's dumb. Not really because it's offensive, just because it's dumb and uncreative.

Changing a term that most people understand just cuz it has the word "gay" in it, is well... dumb.

Isn't this a case for doing it? The whole thing is ridiculous since there are many times one would make this play. Bad players doing it consistently is why this term has evolved.

There are times where it's a good idea in TAG on TAG warfare but most of the time, it's a suboptimal line.

And if we called it a "negro" bet, except not negro, but another, similiar, hateful term for black man, would that be ok?

On a related note, how exactly is it different from a stop N go?

My issue isn't that it's offensive, like I said. My issue it's that it's non-descriptive.

I do not think it's a good thing that we're inventing jargon when it would be better to describe, in depth, a specific situation.
