    Still don't know why shortening a word makes it offensive.

    So offensive we can't use it; unless it's an article about it - then we can use it as much as we see fit.

    33 millions results for 'abo' and they're worried about the only one that's probably trying to do something positive with the term.

    Probably wasn't an issue until PC wankers got a hold of it.

    Making a difference.

    right, so you type it into a search engine, and that's offensive? how exactly? in order to see the results, you have to type the word in, so you're basically offending yourself. fucking idiot world.
