    Now "Polack" is a verb which, in English at least, is a word denoting action, as in "No. 47, Wyzniak, high-sticked Anton and now is sitting out the rest of the game.", instead of a noun, "That's one helluva a Polack who's got his Kielbasa together", which denotes a specific or "proper" thing.

    Cumming, let's just leave it at "I'm sorry for pointing out that Fedor was not an ideal Polish name". I'm also sorry that my command of English grammar and spelling is lacking. Wud you mind posting an example? I'm always willing to learn!

    Okay, we've all jumped on this going-nowhere train and have taken liberties with language and phrases best avoided, myself included. I made a point that offended some while others defended free speech in all its imperfect forms. The main thrust of this give and take should not be missed, however, and that is to be mindful of the effects that demeaning phrases portend for others. Regardless of origin, we all came from places that we all should be proud of, and which should not be described by slurs.

    When referred to as an "African American" during a nationally televised interview, Whoopi Goldberg strongly objected to the term by saying that "I'm not an African American. I'm an American." And so are all of us.

    We're not *** etc., and we should not tolerate without objection references to others by inappropriate terms and phrases. These demean not only those whom it offends, but also those voicing such remarks, and emphasizes an ongoing fascination with racial definitions that far too many, for lack of proper language, can't define properly.

    I hope that this clarifies my objection to the use of unseemly racial slurs that I believe are best avoided through the use of proper language. I am a product of the Deep South and grew up in the 50's and 60's amid hundreds of reminders that I was automatically considered "better" than others because of my skin color. Even as a boy, I knew instinctively that this was wrong and had no legitimacy, and I took my lumps from my peers as a consequence of my beliefs.

    I learned a lot getting my *** kicked by stupid people.

    Three friends are walking down the street. The first guy walked by an opera house and heard “ mi,mi,mi” “ mi,mi,mi” and got stuck saying “ mi,mi,mi” “ mi,mi,mi”. The second guy walked by a diner and heard “ fork & knife” “ fork & knife” and got stuck saying “ fork & knife” “fork & knife”. The third guy walked by a candy shop and heard “goody goody gum drops” “ goody goody gum drops” and got stuck saying “ goody
    gum drops” “ goody goody gum drops”.
    They kept walking down the street and were stopped by a policeman. “There has been a murder, he said and, since you are new to this town, I think you did it. Okay! Let's get this straight. Which one of you did it?”
    The first guy said “ mi,mi,mi” and the policeman said “With what?” and the second guy said “ fork & knife”.
    The policeman said, “ I’m sorry but you’re going to jail."
    The third guy said, “goody goody gum drops!”

    A Utah woman walked into the middle of a highway and was hit by a car. She's suing Google because she wasn't smart enough to use her Blackberry in conjunction with her brain.

    A blonde was walking across a war zone when she saw a soldier crying. She went asked for the reason. He told,"I lost my hand in an explosion.
    The blonde hit the soldier hardly and shouted, " Look at that man lying besides you. He lost his head, even then he is not crying!!!!!!!!!"

    Sorry to everyone else but that was just weird. The guy tells racist jokes (I just got my eyes dry enuf to type after the racial slurs I had to endure at the hands of Cummingknives) then goes on a rampage including having to defend his non-racist beliefs in the deep south...I'll bet there was some ***-kicken goin' on when he was a kid!
    Also, "Feather Duster"? - I had to Google it as I'd never heard this creative description before. The worst...such a vile, base, born of a meeting of David Duke and Margaret Sanger slur on defenseless...ROOSTERS ? How could he coin such a term? I cry for our defenseless fowl brethren, as well...
    Hoyt, I love ya', brother, but that was the worst joke I've ever heard! (and not another word about my double skull)
