If F McGary was really the chant ISU students used, then that's embarrassing. Please represent my school and yours with some pride.
Why is it embarrassing? What's not prideful about it?
We've placed this arbitrary "profane" label on these words, and get all bent out of shape about them, when in reality, all that word means, in that context, is "we really dislike the way you're playing the game of Basketball, Mitchell McGary, and wish you ill-luck on your continued playing of the game!" Just, you know, short enough that we can clap five times in a sychopated fashion afterwards.
It's an invective that has some pretty astounding versatility. It's not the word that's profane, it's the arbitrary decision to make it profane that makes it profane.
Butthead used to be profane. We gave up on that being profane. Bloody is profane in other english speaking countries, but it just sounds weird and nerdy when someone uses it here as an invective.
It's a word, one syllable, three consonants, one vowel. You're the one giving it profane meaning, not the crowd.
