Canadian Anne Murray coined the phrase.

Catch you on the flip side.



You're not a Game of Thrones fan, are you?

Not that watery tarts throw swords in it, but dammit! Swords mean something!

No, I'm probably the only person here who's never watched Game of Thrones. My sword reference was a quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It precedes the "repressed" quote in your YouTube link.

I'm an oldster and slow on the uptick. My question re jubilee was due to being unfamiliar with your charming, changing alliterative signatures.

Back to your OP... Do Canadians think of themselves as Americans? Not that I have noticed. I haven't been to other Western Hemisphere countries and I can't say how they think.

From what I've read in old fashioned non-social media, the rest of the world doesn't think we're different from them. They wonder why we think we are, and that's where the derogatory terms begin.

Looks like you've started some interesting discussions over the years, Ellie.

No it's not.

But please make the argument instead of a statement - I'm open to hearing it.

You compared a derogatory term used to oppress people with a certain skin color to a derogatory term used to ricdicule people with a certain attitude.

Cute, but no. First, that doesn't explain why you tried to make it about religious demographics. Second, the word "nigger" itself didn't "oppress" anyone - it was a tool used by bigots to demean a group of people. The real oppression was manifested in other ways.

Just like "nigger," "Muricans" is a cheap, repulsive way to dismiss a group of people as lesser beings. It started out lighthearted enough, but it's taken on a distinctively hate-tinged, venomous edge in the last couple years.

That's also what we in Alaska call people who come up for the summer and then return to their warmer, Lower 48 climes for the rest of the year. But it's not meant to degrade them.

[Hypoxia]

Most people can't read a map for shit.

I stole gas-station highway maps as a child. I pored over maps, drew maps, built real and imaginary worlds. I was a geography major. I took cartography classes. I know that a majority of the human brain works at mapping. Geographical illiteracy seems insane to me. If you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else. And mapmakers define reality. Which side of the line are you on?

I don't click on links. Been dick-rolled too many times.

Quite. Anyway I don't usually do uTube, and Imgur.Com images don't display on my browser or tablet. Thus do I speed-up my browsing process.

No, I'm probably the only person here who's never watched Game of Thrones.

Me too. But I've seen the sex-scenes video. All of GoT's best compiled into five minutes. Yes, that's quite efficient.

We saw many in Yucatan also, often clueless about how to drive in Mexico. Hitting a turn signal doesn't mean you're about to turn, but tells those behind you whether or not it's safe to pass. Signal for a left turn and everyone behind will slide past you.

'Merkans sounds stupid. I prefer to use 'Yank' when speaking about US citizens pejoratively. Although 'Merkan does have that dumbass redneck quality to it that Yanks are stereotypically labelled with.

'Merkan is your word. If you want to adopt a pejorative as a your own symbol like the 'N' word, you might want to give Yank, Yankee or Imperialist dog a try.

Just trying to help.

"The n word."

Ah, yes. The phrase used by cowards who are queasy about experiencing the full offense of the word "nigger."

That would come from you. *yawn*

Did you just flex your internetz muscles by proving what a dumbfuck you are? Yes, yes you did.

I didn't. I pointed out that it looks like the same kind of persecution complex.

Second, the word "nigger" itself didn't "oppress" anyone - it was a tool used by bigots to demean a group of people. The real oppression was manifested in other ways.

Just like "nigger," "Muricans" is a cheap, repulsive way to dismiss a group of people as lesser beings.

What group of people are "Muricans"?

It's not a group the way black people are a group, it's a chosen attitude and behaviour. Just like hipsters, preppers and Social Justice Warriors. That's the qualititative difference here.

It started out lighthearted enough, but it's taken on a distinctively hate-tinged, venomous edge in the last couple years.

We'll have to disagree there.

If we can't ridicule silly behavior for being silly without being called haters, then political correctness has truly gone off the rails.
