I've since edited https://interpersonal.stackexchange.com/q/6672/2423 since its closure, in incorporating the suggestions in the comments. Anything else to clarify?
In the body, I explain how each of all the possible answers aren't tactful.
i work in consulting so i'm frequently at a client site all day long. it's embarrassing that my guy friend who is pursuing me sends me the eggplant emoji and my client sees it pop up on my iphone. it's really inappropriate when it's done during work hours but i'm not sure how to tell him to sto...
Every year I make a photo calendar and distribute it to my extended family.
The nuclear family's birthdays have always gone on, as has an ever-increasing number of birthdays in the extended family, which is rapidly becoming more and more multigenerational.
Recently, we had a discussion about wh...
How to explain tactfully that someone has misrepresented you?
Was closed for over a month, was never improved. It was manually deleted because it has answers, so the automatic clean-up job won't pick this up.
Now, I see it has been undeleted. Why? The question can't be reopened like this.

I've heard the word "queer" being used to describe a subset (I guess) of the gay and lesbian population. When I think of "queer" I think of the stereotypical characteristics of a sissy.
I think the term is being used as an attempt to shock people, but I just think it sounds stupid. Also, I'm n...
This specific question is in the curious position of being deleted without being closed. It used to be closed as a dupe, but this was disputed in the comments:
Is this really a duplicate? The question linked is about a private, one-on-one conversation. This one is about groups and I imagine i...
How do I tell other gay people that they sound stupid calling themselves "queer"?
I think this is another example of the chiming in, that I mentioned here: Could we be a little better about not chiming in?
The question asker seemed to have a legitimate issue with a word being applied to him and...
This recent question has made me wonder if maybe we should delete a tag if the only question/s it points to have been heavily down voted and/or closed:
How do I tell other gay people that they sound stupid calling themselves "queer"?, resulting in this somewhat lacking page: https://interpersona...
politeness and rudeness seem like the same domain approached from opposite sides. If somebody asks "is doing X considered polite in (context)?" he'll probably tag it "politeness", but if he asks "would it be rude to X in (context)?" he'll probably tag it "rudeness". A future visitor using tags ...
I posted an answer to the question
How to convince my parents I’m happy with my social life? and it seems the answer was deleted.
I received an email notifying me that there were comments, but my inbox doesn’t show any. Plus there’s no notification or anything letting me know what happened to m...
As an individual who is not okay with the word 'queer' being used to describe me, what is the most socially acceptable and sensitive way to communicate that to individuals who are?
To rephrase - if I am in a social situation with casual acquaintances or friends who use the word 'queer', how can...
I want to give a good answer to the question about being called "queer"
But y'all have decided to block me with no warning. Shame on you.
From A Moose, Some Silly Putty... And A Desperate Plea For Help, I "collected" some hats made by members of this community, just for the record.
I may not have found all of them, so feel free to add the ones I missed by editing this post...

I was thinking about the phrase 'young padawan,' and it seemed to me to be a permanent part of Star Wars lore. Yet, I definitely remember being into Star Wars well before the prequels, while I just re-watched the original trilogy and don't remember hearing the term padawan anywhere. There are mul...
