Linguish Descrimination

One time when I was working at tacobell someone came in and ordered beans in a bowl and thats all they ordered. I'm like... Just beans? He's like "yeah." That is it with a funny actsent. I know he was from mexico some where, where there are Mexicans or a place where they speak another language. And he just started speaking English.
Another time is when I went down South my fathers side of the family talked kind of funny. They kind of talked like someone from Texas, but no they were originally from Mississippi. Instead of saying here they said chere, ova they'a, and back younder. These are some of the ways they talk in Mississippi.
It wasn't like I was discriminating I can just tell the difference between a person that lives in Missouri and someone who doesn't. And how you tell is the way they talk.If their acsent isn't like mine or anyone elses they are not from or do not live where I do. That is the way I tell the difference.

Why words derogatory to women

Why are these words derogatory to women?

These words are not only derogatory to women they are also meant for men also. The slang words can also go for men for example, hoodhopper a man can be a hoodhopper if he chooses to be. If he wants to go around claiming gangs that he isn't really from then he is considered a hoodhopper. That is meant for a female also. That is my example of being derogatory both ways. This is the whole reason we are writing out a slang dictionary because some people talk in another way and some people might want to know what the other person could be talking about. Like what do the words mean anitionally. Like instead of hering and not knowing you can here it and know what it really means.
