Ah. I do apologize. I take back the "fag" statement and replace with any of
the others Mr. Patchmonkey has suggested. No offence intended.

Don't use the word "fag" in a posting, unless you're British and referring
to a cigarette. One, it offends those people who are homosexual; and two,
it makes you look ignorant. Even thought most people would agree that Genma
is an idiot, a moron, a jackass, a fucked-up ho-bag, etc., they use those to
describe him, not fag.
The only way you'd get away with that is if it were part of a story, really:
(mini-alterverse)
Ukyo looked at Ranma. "So, did that fag you call dad get his ass in
gear and start working off my yattai yet?"
Ranma turned over in the bed. "Well, Ucchan, no...he's out smoking."
(end)
That's ambigiuous and strange, but that would be okay.
