Pussification

So today my husband was telling me about some stupid joke e-mail he got and said “It’s what George Carlin called the pussification of America.” I stopped what I was doing not sure what to make of that and asked for explication. Essentially it’s making things too touchy feely, too soft – too pussy. Then the charming hubby added “It’s like your father’s – ‘the world love mediocrity’.” I’ve been stewing on this since. I’ve admired Carlin for years and tolerated my husband for about the same length of time but this really pissed me off. Am I wrong? Oh maybe I’m just too pussified.
