It definitely isn't an odd thing to say. Perhaps specifically where you live but not in the English-speaking world as a whole.

Fair. When I hear "bred" in the context of humans, it comes across as vulgar and in the realm of girls with pregnancy kinks, instead of "born and raised a family" being the less sexual way to say the same thing.

That’s because you’re too proximate to degeneracy lol

I'm aware, I spend a lot of time in the company of the worst types of people trying to pull them out of the dirt. Its why I originally tried to be a therapist in my younger days.

Perhaps its effected my perception of the world more than I thought, but I also find "bred" to still be more animalistic than need be when applied to humans.

There are plenty of innocuous terms that depending on the context you use them in can have very different meanings. You shouldn't allow your use and perception of language to be controlled by that.

Let's take 'cunt' for example. Although to be fair that one isn't an innocuous term anywhere but call someone a cunt in the US you might end up in the hospital. Call someone a cunt in Scotland or Australia and you'll end up with a drinking buddy. You have to adapt depending on where you are and who you talk to. Context is key.

Incredible self-report.

I am unashamed to admit I spend a chunk of time in the company of Lefties, degenerates, and other sinners of the highest order. Its useful to not only understand their mindsets, but sometimes you pull someone back.

In this case, I never hear the word "bred" outside of animals and said degenerates, and didn't know it was common in other areas of the country/world to be normal.

I agree with you but, like I said in my other comment, it seems to be a regional thing, and is normal elsewhere.

But, yeah, depending on where you are it can totally apply to degeneracy and animals only, like you said. I think people are going a bit hard on you; both sides are right, in this case. It's just regional.

Or eugenics. Bred for sports or something like that.

Well that's what I meant by context of humans. You hear it all the time in regards to animal husbandry for eugenical means like that, and that's what makes it so vulgar to use on a person.

It's an established phrase, nothing wrong with it.
