Try understanding frames of reference and perspective. It is to do with other people's perception. This childlike defence you have, shows such limited understanding I lose hope, I really do. |

I'm guessing Australia, although if you are an expat, that is no excuse for not knowing I work with Aussies and they know only too well that calling someone a *** outside of their home country is not going to go down too well |

.....and finally. Bingo......"Although I did say the same several posts ago in response to somebody talking about where to draw the line before we started getting all scouse and offended. If you are offended by this term, I would suggest that it is because of the context which you use it. Yep, I've been in oz a few years now and they/we use the term without any offence given or taken. Your problem. You obviously have negative intentions in using the term. Perhaps you need to look at your use of the term. Thought you might've grown out of it but seems Alf Garnett is alive and well. Anyway, **** aside, can we say "jock" or even "Dave"? Still, missing the original point and cherry picking one of several terms that were put forward for discussion. Should've known better. |

You can justify the use of the word all you like, but it's not for the user to judge who should and shouldn't be offended by it.
Yes, I take words like that in context. However I'm a white guy ffs, the only thing that offends me is when my latte isn't hot enough. You can't call someone a word which you know could be derogatory, and then get upset when they get upset. Just don't use it in the first place unless you're a comedian etc - like Louis - and create the context in the first place. |

This defence:
See " it's only a laugh mate, no sense of humour these( enter racial epithet)." Aren't they touchy these etc etc Show some curtesy. I wouldn't use yank paddy or jock etc in new company from those countries. Let alone **** / coloured / half caste - which ever 1970s term you think "they" should have no problem with. Bet you still pat women on the bum in the office - grow up. |

A pretty sad indictment upon yourselves that you've got yourselves in knots over it to such a degree that a simple abbreviation has become taboo because of your own negative connotations and it is so negatively ingrained in your minds. Thought you might've moved on a bit by now. ....and you call Aussies racist. you can't even civilly discuss it. This was simply one of several names and the rest are ignored whilst you wet yourselves over your own racist connotations of the word that is fine anywhere else in the world. Backward Britain or what? The Wealdstone raider is in good company.
Ashton: you should know pal - one of the worst areas for backward @#%&!s Forza, you try too hard pal and just end up looking like a 12 year old trying to impress the big lads |
