    Exactly.

    Brian: "Andre Woolfolk can't cover NFL receivers"
    WoolfolksUncle: "You're just a hater"
    Brian: "Umm, ok"

    that's probably true 90% of the time

    it's definition isn't as harsh as it appears to sound

    originaly coined as a "Player Hater" (in this point "player" describing a pimp-wannabe) it describes how a person is envious or jealous of another 'pimp' or 'playa' who "plays" the 'circuit' (clubs) for 'digits' (phone numbers) or other
    it's a slang phrase created by a hip-hop nation

    "Hating" on Peyton just means that people are disgusted or disappointed in him. also, hating on is a little different than hating

    if that clears it up any

    I think it would be borderline silly and overlysensitive to ban the word "hater". If it really is that offensive or something, then uh...:sad2:


    "Beasting" ain't no hip hop language. That's just some word Critical uses a lot. Cats don't say "beasting" on the east coast.

    I think it may come down to a judgement call by looking at the rest of message in context. Personally, I don't care for the term but that is the old in me talking.

    There's always "roo breath":brow:

    Yeah, but if you ban hater, we'll always come up with another hip hop slang term! Next thing you know, Jeff'll be trying to ban aquafina!
