A small favor to ask, regarding MOUTHBREATHERS

[Gman2]

There are those of us who have heart failure, emphezema, copd, and other lung type ailments. We mouthbreath, to get oxygen. I dont take it totally personally, but is there a chance that another epithet would work as well? Knuckle dragger seems to work just as well acapella. And most of us dont have simian limbs. In fact, I saw a piece last night, that showed hollywood hunks with T rex arms.


I would appreciate it.

1. i agree and i dont think the name calling is helpful at all.

i admit that at times i am prone to do it as well. but making fun of our political enemies by calling them mouthbreathers, retarded, fat or any other physical/personal trademark is sure to just alienate some of our own.

5. I'm sorry, but I love having a complete vocabulary

available to me and frankly like to use it when it can be effective.

I'm a mouthbreather myself and couldn't care less if somebody uses that "slur."

What I really abhor is political correctness.

6. Are you against decorum? Dignity? Why is your world destroyed by not insulting the weak?

[WeekendWarrior]

9. I don't consider mouthbreathers -- like myself -- weak, thank you very much

And I'm all for decorum. But I also don't like "suggestions" about what words I can and can't use. If the word fits, I'll use it. If you don't like that, feel free to ignore me.

2. It's not an expression I use. K&R

Assholes works for me.

4. My sphincter is offended!

And it is going on the offensive!

3. I prefer to call them "ass-breathers"

Since that's where they do all their talking from, wouldn't it make sense that when they finally pause for a breath they would breathe from the same place they speak from? :shrug:

7. That's an insult to Knckledraggers!

8. sleep apnea and the Cpap Machine.

Some people have Sleep Apnea and need to use a Cpap machine. Being a mouth breather is not fun for those who have Sleep Apnea. It requires wearing a full mask that covers the nose and mouth thats attached to a hose, and to the machine.

My friend who is a Vietnam Vet wears one at night.


They look uncomfortable but he says it keeps him from waking up several times a night, gasping for breath. Says he can't breath though his nose.



It would be interesting to find out if OBAMACARE will cover these devices. They can save a life.

11. Guessing that the devices will be covered,

seeing as how they're already covered by Medicare. Mine is, anyway.
