Snarling and Bad Metaphors

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Like I said, I'd heard it as Native American term towards whites. It doesn't even make sense to me as a slur towards blacks/African-Americans...

I don't understand it either, but I don't make those decisions.

Understood. REally, apologies.

Back OT, the land the Indians owned was good, fertile land. The land they were forced to live on was bad, infertile dirt.

Aye. I've never heard the term before either. But all it'd take is dropping it once in the wrong place to create a hell of a misunderstanding.

Ok, lemme just delete my post, because...I think I crossed the line. Apologies to everyone.

Seeing quotes from a post that I don't see....

Oh, ok, I was getting really confused and thought I had finally gone completely insane. Which wouldn't be good at work tonight....

No no no no no.

So. No, then?

Google it. It has a much, much different more common meaning

In fact, the whole first page of the Urban Dictionary.

Thanks for the heads up Gravekeeper. I certainly wouldn't have used it among strangers, but most of my black friends would have died laughing at me before any explanation, so you probably just saved several innocent lives.

Haha I work at a pizza place too, and the same thing about the Coke thing happened to me lol
A customer bought a buffet with a drink and she realized that we dont have Dr. Pepper and asked for a refund after drinking a Sprite or whatever. It was really funny.
