You're in charge of a grassroots campaign to make Mrs. Margaret Drysdale a gay icon.

Anonymousreply 1. Compared to Miss Jane, Granny and Elly May, Mrs. Drysdale just wasn't much fun, and her having a gayish son from her previous marriage didn't merit her standing as an icon. Anonymousreply 1.

You're in charge of a grassroots campaign to make Mrs. Margaret Drysdale a gay icon. Thank God, finally a glimpse of that "Gay Agenda" I've always heard exists. Anonymousreply 1.

I believe that Margaret may have been overlooked because she didn't appear in as many episodes of "The Beverly Hillbillies" as the rest of the cast. And it was a long time ago. At least 'Lovey,' Mrs. Thurston Howell III was in every episode of "Gilligan's Island." But Margaret deserves her due.

Let's her it for Margaret Drysdale! Anonymousreply 1. Watching MRS. DRYSDALE is like revisiting my great grandmother & her two sisters. All they did in life was belong to this club & that, and attend one party after another.

One's 'breeding' being of the utmost importance. They even looked like MARGARET.

Cracks me up. by Anonymousreply 1. Milburn, those DREADFUL hillbillies!"Harriet Mac. Gibbon, who played Mrs. Drysdale, was by all accounts a nice lady who specialized in playing society snobs. It was Raymond Bailey (Mr.

Gay men tend to like glamorous divas- young or old. Mrs. Dryesdale was a little too Barbara Bush- a dreary, bigoted, clueless old witch who will never die. Anonymousreply 2. You're thinking of Louis Nye, a regular on the old Steve Allen late night show. Harriet Mc. Gibbon played the ambassador's wife who was to help settle Rosiland Russell and her family when they went to Japan, in the film "A Majority of One." Very high on my list of guilty pleasure films. Anonymousreply 2.

Why did the cast hate Raymond Bailey? I found the following when I Googled. Take it for what it's worth: There's a story about him in some book I read that makes him sound like a bitchy queen (though a straight one), but funny. The Hillbillies cast were in Missouri for some function and where they were shooting the (extremely awkwardly spliced) SILVER DOLLAR CITY episodes. SDC was meant to look like Bugtussel I suppose, but the stock footage showed too many people way too "modern dress" to be believable as the Clampett's neighbors.)Anyway- they were invited for dinner to the home of the sister of series creator Paul Hening, a local socialite who was married to a local big- shot in that area of Missouri. Henings sister and her family lived in a restored Victorian mansion, and upon arriving Bailey, already intoxicated from the limo ride, said very loudly "Oh my god you didn't tell me your sister lived in a whorehouse!

Don't you give her any money?" Hening and others basically said "Shut up Raymond.. So Bailey was cool, until they got inside, when the sister introduced herself and welcomed the entire cast and Bailey, in front of her "local elite" guests said "Ah, that explains it..

Anonymousreply 2. Mrs. Drysdale did have one or two moments where she was genuinely touched by the Clampetts' generosity, not in large sums of money but when they showed that they considered her a friend.

Truth Fairy - - Please fly into a bug zapper. Anonymousreply 4. The show was awful and got worse with time, recycled plot lines, tired gags. Love the story about Mr. Drysdale embarrassing Paul Henning and his sister at the sister's manse- -- "why didn't you tell us your sister lived ina whore house".

Spastic - Wikipedia. Derived via Latin from the Greekspastikos ("drawing in" or "tugging"), the word spastic refers to an alteration in muscle tone affected by the medical conditionspasticity, which is seen in spastic diplegia and many other forms of cerebral palsy and also in terms such as "spastic colon". Colloquially, spastic can be pejorative; though severity of this differs between the United States and the United Kingdom. In the UK "spastic" is considered by the general population as an offensive way to directly refer to disabled people.[1][2]United Kingdom[edit]The medical term "spastic" came into use to describe cerebral palsy.[3] The Scottish Council for the Care of Spastics was founded in 1.

Spastics Society, an English charity for people with cerebral palsy, was founded in 1. However, the word began to be used as an insult and became a term of abuse used to imply stupidity or physical ineptness: one who is uncoordinated or incompetent, or a fool.[4] It was often colloquially abbreviated to shorter forms such as "spaz". Although the word has a much longer history, its derogatory use grew considerably in the 1.

BBC children's TV show Blue Peter; [5] during the International Year of Disabled Persons (1. Blue Peter featured a man named Joey Deacon with cerebral palsy (described as a "spastic"). Phrases such as "joey", "deacon", and "spaz" became widely used insults amongst children at that time.[6]In 1. Conservative MP Terry Dicks referred to himself in a House of Commons debate as "a spastic with cerebral palsy",[7] the Spastics Society changed its name to Scope. The word "spastic" has been largely erased from popular English usage and is deemed unacceptable to use outside of specific medical contexts, thus reducing stigmatisation of the condition.[5] However, UK schoolchildren allegedly developed a derogatory adaptation of the Spastic Society's new name, "scoper".[8] The current understanding of the word is well- illustrated by a BBC survey in 2. UK relating to disability (retard was deemed most offensive).[2] In 2. Sanctum Full Movie.

Lynne Murphy, a linguist at the University of Sussex, described the term as being "one of the most taboo insults to a British ear".[1]United States[edit]In American slang, the term "spaz" has become largely disconnected from a description of people with disabilities, and is generally understood as a casual word for clumsiness, otherness, sometimes associated with overexcitability, excessive startle response ("jumpiness"), excessive energy, involuntary or random movement, or hyperactivity. Its usage has been documented as far back as the mid- 1. In 1. 96. 5, film critic Pauline Kael, hypothesised that, "The term that American teenagers now use as the opposite of 'tough' is 'spaz' . A spaz is a person who is courteous to teachers, plans for a career, and believes in official values. A spaz is something like what adults still call a square."[9]The New York Times columnist similarly explained to readers that spaz meant "You're strictly from 2.

Benjamin Zimmer, editor for American dictionaries at Oxford University Press and researcher at the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Research in Cognitive Sciences, writes that by the mid- 1. American usage of the term spaz shifted from "its original sense of 'spastic or physically uncoordinated person' to something more like 'nerdy, weird or uncool person.'"[1. In a June 2. 00. 5 newsletter for "American Dialect Society", Zimmer reports that the "earliest [written] occurrence of uncoordinated "spaz" he could find " is found in The Elastik Band's 1. Spazz".[1. 1]Later in 1. Steve Martin introduced a character Charles Knerlman, aka "Chaz the Spaz" on Saturday Night Live, in a skit with Bill Murray called "Nerds".

Bill Murray later starred in the movie Meatballs which had a character named "Spaz."[1. Both shows portrayed a spaz as a nerd or somebody uncool in a comic setting reinforcing the more casual use of the term in the United States by using it in prime time comedy show.[9]The term still occasionally appears in North American movies or TV series such as Friends. As such it receives a different reaction from British and American audiences. In one episode, Rachel refers to herself as a "laundry spaz" due to her inability to competently do the laundry which directly relates to the original meaning about physical ability. This comment was deemed offensive enough by the British Board of Film Classification to give the episode a 1. Other episodes in the series are rated a step lower at PG.[1. Similarly, Rugrats: Tales From the Crib Snow White got a PG rating based on Angelica calling Kimi "Spazzy".[1.

The difference in appreciation of the term between British and American audiences was highlighted by an incident with the golfer Tiger Woods; after losing the US Masters Tournament in 2. I was so in control from tee to green, the best I've played for years.. But as soon as I got on the green I was a spaz." His remarks were broadcast and drew no attention in America. But they were widely reported in the United Kingdom, where they caused offence and were condemned by a representative of Scope and Tanni Grey- Thompson, a prominent paralympian. On learning of the furore over his comments, Woods' representative promptly apologized.[1.

Shortly after Weird Al Yankovic's song "Word Crimes" was released, Yankovic stated that he had been unaware that the word spastic used in the song is "considered a highly offensive slur by some people", particularly in the United Kingdom, and apologized for its presence in his lyrics.[1. Australia[edit]. A historical Australian road sign encouraging drivers to watch out for "Spastic Pedestrians". The sign is no longer in official use.

In Australian English, for some time, terms such as "spastic" and "crippled" were considered the proper words to describe persons with various disabilities and even appeared on traffic signs warning drivers of such persons near the road. More recently these terms have fallen out of use and replaced with the more socially acceptable and generic "disabled"."Spaz" products[edit]Multiple products in America use the word Spaz as part of their name.

Controversy arises if products are sold in the UK under the same name. In particular the manufacturers and importers of the Spazz wheelchair were criticised by the British charity Scope when they put the wheelchair on sale in the UK. Scope expressed a fear that the usage of the word as an insult would increase again, after a steady decline since the 1.

A caffeinated lipbalm created by a police officer is called "Spazz. Stick."[1. 9] "Spaz- Stix" is a company that produces high end remote control car/plane paints. An energy drink is called "Spaz Juice" and has a slogan, "all the energy you need to annoy everybody else."[2.

The Transformers Power Core Combiners line of robot toys was to include a character named "Spastic". Hasbro, the makers of Transformers, said that it would not release "Spastic" in the UK. This did not stop vocal British fans from alerting various news outlets, eventually resulting in the name being changed for all markets to the less- offensive "Over- Run." The online biography for another Transformer, Strafe, described him as "spastic" in early releases, but when the controversy erupted about the word, they changed the word to "twitchy."[citation needed]On June 2. Ubisoft of France pulled one of their games called Mind Quiz: Your Brain Coach, for referring to players who did not perform well at the game as "Super Spastic".

The company stated "As soon as we were made aware of the issue we stopped distribution of the product and are now working with retailers to pull the game off the market."[2. One of the playable characters, a brother of eponymous main character, in Jazz Jackrabbit game series (introduced in Jazz Jackrabbit 2) is named "Spaz". Similarly, Nintendo recalled Mario Party 8 in the UK after releasing a version containing the line "turn the train spastic" in its dialogue.[2. See also[edit]References[edit]^ ab.
