    Is this a search & replace function / spell-check gone too far?

    Or are there two dangerous bin Laden’s on the run in Pakistan?

  2. Godless Liberal * says at 9:32 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Someone has their spellchecker trained just a leetle too wel.

  3. Godless Liberal * says at 9:34 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Godless Liberal *: Shut up. Just shut up. I know, okay? I know I messed that up.

    Obama can address this on his fightthesmears.com site.

    Speaking as an ardent supporter and practicer (is that a word?) of white guilt, ‘nilla don’t cut it. ‘Nilla ass ‘nilla does not sound as good as cracka ass cracka…Thus, I think cracker or cracka, whould be the preferred offensive term for white devils such as myself…

  6. Well that settles it TerrorBarry quite contrary. Loose lips sink ships (of state).

    mookworthjwilson: Plus, this is what vanilla really looks like:

  8. Godless Liberal * says at 9:59 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Canmon (the Inadequate): And vanilla pudding is yellow, which tells me that perhaps it could be used as a slur against our Asian friends. You want to talk about a bloc of humanity that is sorely lacking any quality catch-all pejoratives, I think we need to put some funding into better and more efficient ways to insult Asian peoples. White folks are increasingly ensuring that the best way to insult white people is by simply calling them “white people”

  9. mookworthjwilson says at 10:03 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Godless Liberal *: Well at least for certain Asians, you can ask walnuts about some good names for them…

  10. Elitist Republican Tard says at 10:03 am, June 23rd, 2008

    I don’t get it. Can someone explain?

  11. Walter Sobchak says at 10:10 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Problem with “Cracker” is that in this part of the world, it’s not a bad thing, it’s Florida slang for someone whose family has lived here since, say, before WWI or so. Typically those folks are descended from the real Crackers, who left the South in opposition of the Civil War, but went South instead of North, way down in the swamp where no one knew or cared they were there, and left them alone. Most were actually anti-slavery, or at least, anti-getting shot by a musket or whatever they had back then. So, “Cracker”=Good; “Cracka-ass-Cracka”=Bad, but funny. There’s my history lesson for the day.

  12. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 10:17 am, June 23rd, 2008

    I voted for calling us “Altoids.” That was just pure genius.

    Not that I don’t like ‘Nillas….

  13. Mr Blifil says at 10:26 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Next we’ll be hearing that sometimes his Baby Mama “accidentally” substitutes the “B” for an “S” as she cries out the candidate’s name in the deepest throes of connubial, monogamous pleasure. Though I imagine the effect on his performance at that moment would be akin to a fistful of Icy Hot applied to the perineum. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

  14. AngryBlakGuy says at 10:28 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Botswana Meat Commission FC: …personally I like to use classic terms like:

    -Redneck
    -Whitey
    -Cracker
    -Mayonnaise
    -White Bread

    and my personal favorite: HONKY!

  15. AngryBlakGuy:
    What about haystack?

  16. Botswana Meat Commission FC: I be usin’ “The Other White Meat” or “TOWM” for short.

  17. wheelie says at 10:46 am, June 23rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Does anyone say Ofay any more or is it considered quaint?

  18. nhunter says at 10:56 am, June 23rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: I asked my daughter what the black kids in her middle school call the white kids when they’re mad at them and she said “cracker” or “white boy/girl.” Just goes to show it’s not what you say, it’s the way you say it.

  19. mookworthjwilson says at 11:01 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Walter Sobchak: Thanks. I am a better person for reading that.

  20. mookworthjwilson says at 11:03 am, June 23rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Mayonnaise…I like it…never heard it before…but I like it…combines appearance with a stereotype (only white people like mayo, supposedly.)

  21. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:03 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Servo: wheelie: …WoW, I knew I left a few out! Definitely vintage.

  22. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:08 am, June 23rd, 2008

    nhunter: …being that my parents are from Africa I was actually insulated from a lot of the really nasty racism up until middle school. I had NO IDEA what “n@gger” meant until I was 8 or 9 and white child called me it. I had to go home and ask my mother what it meant.

  23. It’s not even July and I’m already fucking weary of this typo.

  24. mookworthjwilson:
    See Martin Mull’s “History of White People in America”. Laughed my ass off. You’ll never look at mayonnaise the same again.

    Elitist Republican Tard:

    Isn’t that spelled “Thard?”

  26. artbot2000 says at 11:27 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Re. the racial insult thing: I know it’s a tad cumbersome but my vote is for “Scientologist,” as in “hung like a scientologist” or “dances like a scientologist.” This can also be deployed along the gay/straight frontier, as in “matches fabrics like a scientologist.”

    So it’s at least a twofer, and quite possibly of universal value, particularly what with Chef being a Scientologist and all…

  27. gurukalehuru says at 11:29 am, June 23rd, 2008

    Melanin deficient?

  28. tunamelt says at 12:03 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    I still prefer whitey.

  29. What about Casper? Anyone say that anymore?

  30. MoodProcessor says at 12:25 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    gurukalehuru: UV Challenged

  31. donner_froh says at 1:53 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: “Gray boy” was used on the southside–but that was quite a while ago.

  32. vicuna says at 2:18 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    Mayonnasian has a ring to it. I am of the mayonnasian persuasion, a rhymin’caucasian.
    Okay, I’ll just stop there.

  33. Dissimulation says at 5:31 pm, June 23rd, 2008

    Well it might be a dissimulated message…

  34. bostonfern says at 12:54 am, June 24th, 2008

    I vote for snowball.
