accent discrimination sounds like a slight in search for a cause. I think if I ever heard a person use the phrase in person and not in jest I would be justified in taking their skin.
Speaking of that, the other day we were discussing the proper handling of pedos and the natural conversation progression went to taking their skin, but there is a fair question that comes up on that, where does the mouth, nose, ears, and butthole end and the skin begin? Nobody wants to take more than theyre entitled, we want to be fair.
