  1. HI STEVE: Glad you have now dropped the “old” from “loud mouth bigot” We old-timers don’t like our name taken in vain: ie there are young bigots too; and many elderly guys are very nice people when you get to know them – take me for instance!

    WIKIPEDIA: To take one’s name in vain.EXAMPLES

    1/Speak casually, critically or idly of someone, or some group particularly as a generalisation that cannot apply to all in the group. This idiom originated as a translation from the Latin of the Vulgate Bible (Exodus 20:7), “to take God’s name in vain,”

    2/ to use (a name, especially the name of God) in a way that does not show proper respect or even common sense – for example “poor people are all lazy” whereas logic dictates that cannot be so. However “some people are poor because they are lazy,” is more relaistic, though it should not be used within a context that seeks to attack all of the poor as a class or demographic.

    3/to sweepingly associate either directly or by implication a negative characteristic to all people in a group or community. “I would love to lock up young oversexed people!” suggests that the critic MAY mean young people are all oversexed and/or the only oversexed people are the young and/or only the young should be punished for [unlawful]oversexed behaviour.
