Yikes! So I can’t say _____ or _____ or _____?
Oh, well. Life is _______ and then you don’t ____.
Cheers! The ____ ___
As long as they don’t ban “fucking cocksucker”.
Else I wouldn’t get a word in edgewise.
“You can take away our lives, but you’ll never take away our fucking cocksuckers!”
Give me the keys, you fucking cocksucker!
And “cracker”. You can still say “cracker”.
Saltine, bitches.
Chief Elgin: I don’t care if he’s from Johannesburg. I don’t want to hear Dune Coon or Sand Nigger from him or anybody else.
Conrad Vig: Captain uses those terms.
Sgt. Troy Barlow: That’s not the point, Conrad. The point is that Towel Head and Camel Jockey are perfectly good substitutes.
Chief Elgin: Exactly!
That Bill Casselman site is the best link ever.
A friend, when I was a kid, once said “It’s Greek to me” to a girl of Greek ancestry. Her response was: “It’s Jew to you.” Which struck me as a more reasonable way to deal with the situation than what the Army has offered.
By the way, I’m told that the French say “It’s Hebrew to me.” Of course, they say it in their silly frog accent. (Is “frog” on the list?)
I can no longer speak, or type. Fucking cocksucker.
Where can one find the actual list of 76 fucking words, cocksucker?
Atilla – It is never improper to make fun of the French.
Conan O’Brien: “Raise your hand if you like the French. Now raise both hands if you are French!”
Humph! One more example of why “military intelligence” is so often considered a contradiction in terms.
You see, Atilla. BJ understands. It is never inappropriate to make fun of the cheese eating surrender monkeys.
Jackie Mason: “Why do French warships have glass bottom hulls? So they can find the French Airforce.”
Thank you, I’ll be here all week. don’t forget to tip your waitresses. Try the veal, it is tres magnifique!
I thought that was Little Black Sambo in the picture when I first saw it. Does that make me a racist? My grandparents had one of the original copies of that book when I was a kid, and I think my mother now has all of the books. I guess that makes us racists, huh?
Did anyone else know that Little Black Sambo was actually based on an Indian? How in the hell did it come to be a symbol of racism against blacks when it wasn’t even about them?
I think when the original European version used golliwopg imagery to illustrate it…
I’m more confused about how Uncle Remus’ Tar Baby got misinterpretted as a racial slam… It wasnt even human.. it was a trap set by the stpid fox to catch tricky Brother Rabbit (Bre’r rabbit in southern drawl).
I did. He was chased by the tigers. Remember the restaurant chain called Sambos? Any guesses as to what happened to it?
“it comes from a Medieval Latin proverb “Graecum est; non potest legi†(It is Greek; it cannot be read). Both the Latin and the English meant then just what the phrase does now, to refer to something that is unintelligible.” So it’s jew to me would just be racist!
Ah, here we go….http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambo's
