eBay search filter set to new. Bold large text was New in Samsung Box
I posted the fine print and was pointing that out.
Now get back on the grappa, you drunk wog.
Now now Gordo.
This is where you are wrong.
He is no '

He's just a Dago and not a
day goes by without him wondering why Greeks make better pizzas than Italians.
You do understand much of Italy was Greek before Rome became more than a collection of huts? Magna Grecia. Just sayin'.
There is no need to use these derogatory terms. However when I was young Italians were often referred to as Wogs, Wops or Daygo's. It was a horrible nasty insulting thing to call people. Greeks were mostly called Spicks, just as bad. The Greeks make good Pizza but not better than the Italians.
You must be one of those 'American' or 'Americanised' Colonial Australians just like you get those British or Britished Convict Australians here??
They are all really 'Americanised' sledge names.
We call the people from Nippon as 'Nips' which they love, unlike being called a 'Jap' (Japanese) which they hate (unless you pay em to say otherwise for the 'camera' like a Propaganda clip from NK).
We give them a nick-name which is of their own creation.
Hence why Coons for what you call Aboriginal (not a Coon word). Koori, Boong and Pitjat are also 'respectful' nicknames of their own creation.
The word N%$##er for someone who comes from two West African nations 'igeria & 'iger, which is ironically banned from this Forum.
I know a local Zimbabwean living here and is honoured that I call him a Bantu. Hell, I even picked him as a Shona. The word Kaffer is a justified respectful nickname for a people from the region of Khafferia - famous for the thing known as Caffeine.
So it's not the 'word' - its the way that it is used. Don't ban the word, for it is also a word of praise and respect. Just ban the tone and use of the word in a negative aspect.
POM: Is it a word of affection or a word of hate??
