Off Topic Knife , knifing , knifed ! Prejudicial language , loaded with negative assumptions , by definition .

I've also heard it said that if somebody got knifed. Then that somebody got yucked. I guess it depends on your dialect
 
Trying to be a linguistic prescriptivist and dealing with English is setting yourself up for frustration and failure. This language is a living organism that evolves and mutates wildly and without regard for our tastes or inclinations. The only thing you can control about it is how YOU use it, so it's not worth wasting much time or worry about how others do.
Totally off topic, but may I ask the story behind your username?
