If you don’t read Jessika the Tank, who fancies herself “Pretty in Plate” (and who am I to disagree??), you should. She got on her soapbox today, and I am going to join her there. And oh-by-the-way, the three words are not, “You have aggro.”
Jess addressed three all-too-common words we see in WoW, her distaste for those words, and did so much more eloquently than I could. However, because I agree with her so strongly, I’m going to echo her sentiments here.
Retarded. Fag. Rape.
Are any of those in your in-game lexicon? If they are, I suggest you lose them. Or continue being a loser. Because if I hear them from you, you will have aggro.

Being gay myself, I despise the use of the word ‘fag’ myself. Good thing my guild is good about keeping it out of guild chat
