You know, I hired a ghostwriter recently to help me come up with some new material. Thought it would be a good idea, you know, get a fresh perspective. But, let me tell you, it was like hiring a GPS that was determined to take me down the wrong path.
I get the notes, right? And I see this one word circled - "slur." Now, I'm thinking, "Great, did I accidentally sign up for a roast?" But no, turns out my ghostwriter just wanted me to address controversial topics. I mean, really? "Slur" is the best word you can come up with? I felt like I was on a linguistic minefield. So, here I am, trying not to offend anyone while still trying to be funny. It's like trying to defuse a word bomb on stage.
You ever notice how there are just some words we're not supposed to say anymore? It's like we've got this list of forbidden vocabulary, and you've got to tiptoe around it like you're in a linguistic ballet. And I get it, we're evolving, language is changing, but it's getting ridiculous.
I was going through my set, trying to be politically correct, and my ghostwriter throws in this note about avoiding a certain "slur." I'm like, "Come on, really? Can't we just call it the Voldemort of words?" It's like trying to navigate a conversation with a minefield of syllables. You say one wrong thing, and boom, cancel culture comes after you like a pack of grammar police.
You ever feel like you need a permit to speak nowadays? I mean, we've got the PC police on one side, making sure you're politically correct, and then there's the vocabulary patrol, checking your words like they're at a border crossing.
I'm going through my material, trying to please everyone, and my ghostwriter drops the "slur" bomb on me. It's like I'm being watched by the linguistic FBI. I can almost hear the sirens going off when I use a word that's not on the approved list. It's like trying to do comedy with a dictionary handcuffed to my wrist.
So, I'm sitting there with my ghostwriter, and they're like, "You need conflict in your set, spice things up!" I'm all for conflict, but they circled "slur" like it's the golden ticket to comedic success. It's like they wanted me to be the word whisperer, taming the linguistic beasts for laughs.
I'm thinking, "Why not go all out? Let's talk about other slurs - like the ones people throw at you when you're stuck in traffic. Or the slurs your computer hurls at you when it decides to update right in the middle of an important presentation. Now that's conflict we can all relate to!
