Here's a question. A few weeks ago I'm at a bar with some work acquaintances. The group is discussing a person at work who no one likes. A clearly gay friend of a coworker asks me why no one likes this person who's being discussed. I, not thinking at all, say "He's a cocksucker". I assume that comment is not offensive, but being overly analytical when bored, I wonder... Is it rude to use a slang word for a gay male sex act as an insult in the presence of gay dudes? I guess you could make the case that "cocksucker" is also offensive to straight women.

Did you mean it to be normative or positive? Literal or slang? I think it would be a stretch to interpret your comment as "the reason that nobody likes this guy is because he sucks cock (and by extension, nobody likes any sword-swallower, including you)." Anyone who's going to get too offended over a comment like that just ain't worth worrying about.
Oh, and Jack, I haven't picked up Elephant yet, but are you going to Coachella? I read a tantalizing review of "Eisley" in Rolling Stone, and they're playing there too. I'm fired up baby. Three more weeks . . .
