> touchy about the cancer thing

Wow. That is technically a valid English phrase. What boggles the mind is that someone could be so out of touch with societal norms and basic human decency that they would actually use it.

I'm touchy about the cancer thing because I had my leg amputated and went through chemo for a year.

Getting agitated over a hypothetical example is a bit of an overreaction.

I don't know comesee - but their saying it isn't at all hypothetical for them. It's called basic human decency - maybe give it a try?
