Recently, a fellow member on the site got reprimanded on Gamefaqs for using the word "pansy".
Growing up, this word has simply meant that someone is weak and cowardly, sometimes timid. Nothing too bad, certainly not the worst thing you can call someone, in fact it is almost comical.
The reason the mod decided to take action is because of a (in my opinion) misguided meaning of the word which makes it a derogatory slang for gay. So, what are your opinions?

"Pansy" is a word on par with "dang." It's something said by children who don't know or want to use offensive words.
