I find it silly, not offensive. And I have never heard the word spoken, only written (typed).

Why would it offend you? It's just slang, just like when we call the mustang a "stang". If you don't like the word then don't use it.

People need to get over all this phony outrage over ever little thing. There is no right to not be offended.

Offended? No. Do I think it makes the person using it sound stupid? YES.

It doesn't offend me. Yet, somehow, it is annoying. Back in the day, no one ever called a Camaro that word. Ever. When someone says it now, they are instantly branded as a clueless newbie.
