Dear f-list: Please help me not be fucking offensive (offensiveness follows)

I'm working on not using 'lame' when I don't mean a mobility impairment, because it is offensive to people I care about. But it's hard going, both because it's an ingrained and thoughtless habit, and because I keep going, “That's lame! I mean, uh. That's. Uh

It's no use changing your speech to suit others. Eventually you won't be able to speak at all. Rather, encourage others to stop taking offense at mere words.

Sorry, I don't know what that is.
