One of the popular expressions I hate is "just kidding". I hate it because people use it to say outrageous and nasty things and then think by adding "just kidding" all is forgiven. A good example is the following. Someone responded to a Huffington Post poster who suggested that without gay men, women would lose their beauticians, a common cliche. And you can see how this moron made use of "just kidding".
Person #1 It may shock you, but gay men drive trucks, construct buildings, work on pipelines, and engage in hundreds of so-called masculine fields. When people like you drop the stereotypes, we'll all be better off.
Person #2 Actually you have it backwards. That's the stuff lesbians do. Gay men are florists, ballet dancers and hair dressers. Just kidding.
