I find that so hard to understand...........and when I was growing up my dear maternal grandmother even censored us for saying "Shut up"
She explained nobody speaks to another person in respect when they
use such terms.
I reiterate what I said about McKay, I don't know anything about Peter and Neal, he does NOT respect and is mean spirited when he uses such derogatory terms.........
and for that reason, I have little respect for him.
It is NOT cute, nor is it endearing. It is disrespectful PERIOD.
Fortunately Sheppard is above it all..............
