Writer's Block: It Is What It Is

"That's so gay" or some variant. Gay being used to mark something as stupid. I'm bi and I have gay friends... and even if that wasn't the case I'd still find it offensive.
Bingos of course hit the list.
"It's different when they're your own!" (Murderous and abusive parents do not exist).
"You'll change your mind when you get older" (Riiiiight, I've only felt this way for 26 years, what do I know?)
"Who'll take care of you when you're old?" (And the kids wouldn't toss you in an old folks home? HA.)
"What if you meet Mr. Right and he wants kids???" (I got this one from the doctor who KNEW I was engaged and that Scottie didn't want to spawn either! Plus, hypothetically, pretend that I didn't meet Scottie. Mr. Right would NOT BE Mr. Right if he wanted kids! For fucks sakes.)
etc etc
"If it doesn't scan it's free". That ceased being funny 5 million customers ago. (I'm glad I no longer work retail).
