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.

Me too. Along with a slur against Native Americans based on "Ford": Found on reservation dump. (Besides the more common "fix or repair daily" and "flip over, read directions.")

Are you a Benny tied to a tree?

Wait - Pontiac? What's that? Site's blocked here.

ILX is the second google result for that which cheers me no end

xp obv

Found on road, dead.

Yeah, I can't look at a Pontiac w/o thinking of that either.

"Pontiac" = "Poor Old N***** Thinks It's A Cadillac"

I must admit, I laughed.

Whaaaaaaaaaa?

Yeah, I never ever heard that. Wow.

ಠ_ಠ

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

i always thought the pontiac thing was dumb because half the white dudes i knew were aspiring to pontiac fieros and also i'd seen 'superfly'

that database was posted here years ago but I can't find the thread where we initially boggled at it

Chinless Wonder British. Reference to inbreeding and a weak gene pool resulting in poor bone structure.

hahahahahaha

sorry British people

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

Frostbacks, I guess, but I think we'd be more appreciative of the attention than offended by the slur

I for one am trying to puzzle out why I've been in the dark about 95% of these slurs for so long
"Itis" poll last night w/friends, only one had heard of it b4

I originally mentioned pork chops because they are delicious with applesauce. The food dish, I had no idea about the Portuguese slur and I have never tried to combine a Portuguese person with applesauce and cannot speak to its appeal.

haven't read the newest 200 posts but

is it fair for the police chief to call the suspects 'animals'

calling little kids "monkey" is totally within the remit of this thread because it's often intended to be cute and innocent but the whole "this is also a term used to denigrate black people" thing makes it fraught with peril

I used to work for a UK children's book publisher who were doing a board book with pictures of babies matched up with random dumb "cute" things about the babies in the pics. Unfortunately, the page that said, "cheeky monkey" had a picture of a black toddler. Publisher had to change the text.

x-post - I see what you're saying but I've used "animal/s" to describe people who don't know how to behave or do so badly without linking it to race at all. Like if I see a lot of litter or something - "What kid of animals would do that?!". P sure the chief prob did so too?
