@CustomOtto: I don't see it as a slur against gay males, I don't think that sucking dick is hardly something that just gay males or all gay males do so why should they get offended. Anyway the context in which the word is used is more important that the word itself, cocksucker could be a homophobic term in the right situation but other than that I still maintain it is an acceptable insult.

@CustomOtto: I agree with you. If you was to call someone a cocksucking faggot that would be a homophobic slur, that's why its all about context. If I was to go out to a gay rally with a sign that said you are all a bunch of cocksuckers then that would also be homophobic. When shooting the shit with gay or straight friends I think that cocksucker is a perfectly good insult to throw in with the motherfuckers and bitches.Obviously it is a touchy subject as everyone is different and perhaps like me when surrounded by friends you feel at ease and don't even think about how its not just you're friends that are listening but everyone that listens to the bombcast and though you don't even fathom that you are making a homophobic remark there will always be a number of people on the internet who get offended. You do make good points though sir and I respect your position on the word cocksucker, this discussion has enlightened me to the fact I should probably just go to sleep.

*EDIT* Last line of the below post sums it up better than I could hope to.

Good God, the comments have seriously gone crazy over Ryan saying 'cocksucker'?

Let this put the argument to rest: I am a gay man, and I have no problem with Ryan using the world 'cocksucker' in a derogatory fashion. Discussion over!

Sorry, but I don't think I hired you as my spokesman.

I don't think I was seriously acting like your spokesman. Lighten up, comrade.

" Can anyone post the name of the thermos!? "

I second this... I can't find the Premium Japanese Coffee Thermos anywhere. Has anyone found what they were talking about online?

Fun fact: The Japanese word for "thermos" is 魔法瓶 (mahoubin) and literally translated means "magic bottle".
