Lighten up. Its a common colloquialism


Indeed.

If one goes down the road of censorship i.e. by attempting to prevent
the use of certain words then [a] one is guilty of the same
totalitarianism of the subject that started this digression [b] one
will ended up not using any adjectives in case someone somewhere at
sometime did something to somebody in history.


As someone who is sometimes flippant and exaggerates, I am often
corrected on what I say. I would never consider it to be "censorship"
if someone suggests that I should be more accurate. It would be too
bizarre even for me to defend my inaccuracy on the grounds of
correction being censorship.
