I have not had an opportunity to mash it beside a toyo. I don't really do street racing, but if someone comes beside me at a straight open road and wants to measure their junk, then, well, I will have to participate. If I loose then I will wave off and concede defeat.

Hmm. I'm not sure how to take that. ;)
Embrace it. Deliver what the customer expects. Wouldn't want to disappoint!

Tell me just when in history was that term acceptable?

I'm 45 and can't remember a time that was actually acceptable.

Dire Straits caught flak for it in the same song mentioned in this thread about 4 decades ago.

By acceptable I mean, would you say it in front of your mom?

I'm a paleo conservative asshole who hates everybody and cusses like a sailor and even I don't use that term.

Also, you can't equate holding somebody accountable to the social norms of today to holding somebody accountable to the social norms of tomorrow.

I'll bet you wouldn't dare walk down Crenshaw screaming the N word because "it was acceptable back then."
Why should I have to tell you anything? Hows about you point out where I said it's ok to use it, and we can use that as a reference point to actually base an argument from. I mean, I know the ranger is turbo charged which helps with altitude, but you ain't, so inventing shit out of thin air shouldn't really be in your wheel-house unless you're a vacuum pump mechanic.

The rest of your argument is predicated upon your incorrect assumption that the term is something that I utilize, and/or defend the use of. That is entirely a problem whose source and solution sit squarely in your own mirror.

Here's the cliff notes of what I stated earlier. That term, and other modern terms all sit squarely in a box that should be labeled "isolating terms". They're words designed to separate and segregate people. And if one wishes to position themselves in such a way as to attempt to police such language; it is probably best that they don't prove themselves a hypocrite, and police themselves internally for said language. Because the "ok to use" term today may just be the faggot of tomorrow.

Not certain I can make that much clearer for you. But I found a link to vacuum pump mechanics so you can brush up on some form and function before trying to formulate your next incorrect assumption.
