Wow, easy. You are needlessly offended. These words do come from our fathers and I was pointing to a time gone by. Us oldens remember things about what are parents said and find laughter in it, easy up.

OK - I'm probably older than you so I am an "olden" and I do remember words that were said in days gone by - and words that continue to be said. However, I don't find laughter in broad, jigaboo and jungle bunnies. I guess you must think I'm in the minority on that. I'll let others weigh in if they agree/disagree.
I'm not needlessly offended by someone deciding it's a good idea to offer slurs up for laughter. I guess that's something else your father must have taught you.
"Broad" was a word I heard on TV, in movies, and on the street constantly as a young kid, and (as pointed out in the example from South Pacific) in respected musicals. The offensive term was "tomato" - pronounced in the Chicago area as, "tuh-MAY-duh".
Yeah, I always thought the word 'Broad' was reserved for assertive self assured women. I still call the old ladies in my Mother's retirement complex "Tough Old Broads"
and they love it!

My Dad was born in 1918 and in Manhattan. The terms from the 1930's films live on in my heart, we used to watch the old flicks together. He was the type of guy who didn't have a hateful bone in his body.
