Ta1no’s Weblog

Ok so now prince2 is out the way for a few months. I can spend some time on doing this thing up and getting it to look just right.

Todays blog is about offensive words or phrases. Not just your usual words that you are aware off but the offensive words that we call each other and think its kosher. So while I was out today having a few drinks a friend said she thinks wogs not wags, but wogs had nice teeth. Now I automatically thought she meant golliwogs which I have been told use to be a racist (ish) term used against people of colour in the UK in yesteryear. But its seems to skippies I mean Australians wog means people from the Greece, Cyprus and those countries. The person didn’t understand the UK context of the world. But does that make it ok. Umm I think so others might not but if you don’t understand what something means then you can really be punished.
Which has lead me to evaluate words that I call friends as a joke or in a joking way that might come across offensive.

So to all those that I might have offended I am so sorry. Now move on and enjoy the summer. oh yeah and as i write this Chelsea has lost the football. oh well, i did want a London team to win. oh well at least the cheating gimp Drogba was sent of for his girly little slap.
