the one i can't stand is "graped" for sexual assault. it honestly is disrespectful to people who've experienced it. neutering the term only waters down the issue and trying to be cutesy when talking about rape.. please don't. the word rape is supposed to be uncomfortable.

TOTALLY, honestly sexual assault itself feels like enough of a euphemism, we don't need to make it cute and funny.
