Yes, the English have to endure so many ethnic slurs

'lol the germans kicked ur merchant arses' tbh

once, my grandma's friend served us potatoes and sausages and called it krauts and micks. tasty, and offensive.

"go find a prostitute, rutger"

This thread is moving rather fast, but re: not knowing the connotations of stuff like "uppity", I remember being told off for using "inscrutable" about someone who was Japanese - my mind was blown that this was a *thing* but I never used it again.

I can't think of a Dutch slur tbh. 'Cheeseheads' is what the Krauts call us tho ;)

tom you don't think english ppl take nationality based abuse in eg scotland, ireland?

Or d'you just think, as individuals, they have it coming?

"go find a prostitute, rutger"

lol

poor alix and pip

Standard slur on the English = "You have considerably less scurvy than us!"

i got clogs, tulips and windmills and that's me done

Dykes

Bjork Icelanders She's the Icelander everyone knows.

clogs, tuplips, windmills, porn, weed, good cheese and painters?

lol cheeseheads!

i'm trying to think of something to say about canadians but jon's "code word" story upthread is making me wary

You know what's funny? That French people call English people roast beef. I'm sorry but it just is.

tom you don't think english ppl take nationality based abuse in eg scotland, ireland?

But what do they call them? We've got Jocks, Micks, Paddys, what are they? Trevors? Brians?

if you are insulting a group of icelanders you can use "sigur ros"

I don't know if anything has ever caused more horrified, inappropriate laughter than the Racial Slur Database for "snob"

snob doesn't seem to be there?

You guys I have literally done NOTHING at work today that is actual work and it's almost noon.

This day rules.

Favorite insult for the English comes from the MST3K episode "Devil Doll": "Jug-eared organ eaters."

Shilaeli Hugger

Sounds like the Israeli defence minister or something

snob doesn't seem to be there?

it isn't????? (I can't check, it is blocked at work for me)

there used to be an entry for "snob" where it was an acronym for "silly n-----s on bikes", because you see black kids ride around on bikes all the time

ime the non-English UK nations don't have enough distance from the target to effectively dole out stereotype-based abuse of the English so it p much amounts to "you suck and we hate you"

"can we have our taxes back please?"

yeah, that and the fact that tbh you hate england more than we do since thatcher

snob not on the rsd linked upthread but it is here: http://www.rsdb.org/

It's 5pm over here!

We have Websense here too...and yet, this isn't blocked. But a site on Miles Davis' electric period is ("forbidden category: weapons").

I'm calling Citation Needed on snob.

the "pontiac" one was pretty common among kids where i grew up : /

dan that first link is about porkchop being used against puerto ricans! i personally have never heard it irl and i am friends with a lot of ppl with lusophone heritage -- most of the epithets i've heard re: portuguese are applied to other immigrant groups as well

It's 5pm over here!

... yeah half and hour and I'll be going to the pub to Irish someone's pint

I can't believe the snob acronym thing. What's the criteria for getting into that database - 4 people having to use a term. I refuse to believe that's legitimately a widespread term. It can't be, right? :(

of course it isn't!

thanx for inciting me to fall off the wagon

Still Falkland Islanders After British troops were forbidden to use the insulting term "Bennies", they named the Islanders "Stills" - because they were still Bennies.
