I never knew some of these things.

 

[Manic]

Let me tell you something about the word "Good," brotha. "Good" is an ancient Anglo-Saxon word: Goah, meaning "the absence of color."

ie. "It's all good," which it is, or Good Will Hunting meaning "I'm huntin' [N-word]s!"

So if you're saying "good morning" to me, the only thing you're saying is "I'm gonna kill your black ass first thing in the morning!"

[chaseter]

So no more picnics for me

 

[SLVRSR4]

that last one was a joke

 

[SuperFerret]

Eh. It just goes to show that the language is alive and evolving. Remember when "gay" meant "happy", "queer" meant "odd" and "oriental" meant "asian"?

 

[chaseter]

Remember when The Original Bamfer meant someone awesome and original.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yes

 

[Nirvana]

I like picnics.

 

[Hotwire]

A guy I know who works in the Geek Squad uses picnic all the time. Only his is an acronym for Problem In Chair Not In Computer, P.I.C.N.I.C..

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Remember when The Original Bamfer meant someone awesome and original.

Yes

Obviously that definition hasn't changed.

 

[Erzengel]

Oh ****. I just asked someone to go on a picnic.

 

[knowsbleed]

you racist oriental!

 

[Majic Walrus]

Eh. It just goes to show that the language is alive and evolving. Remember when "gay" meant "happy", "queer" meant "odd" and "oriental" meant "asian"?

A lot of people that I know who are older still refer to Asians as Oriental, African-Americans (blacks) as Colored, and refuse to acknowledge the existence of homosexuals.

Just because a word used to mean something doesn't mean that word means the same thing now. Something tells me that if I go into a Jewish deli saying "Hip Hip hooray for deli mustard!" no one is going to get bent out of shape.

 

[Erzengel]

you racist oriental!

I'm not a rug *******!!!

I have actually heard that before from older people that it is accurate, even if snopes seems to discredit it...more of "the man" trying to hide his shame.

I knew about gyp already, and I still know older folks in my family who use the term "jew" to talk about haggling over price....I'm like, come on, now.

 

[Erzengel]

I use to say "out of your cotton picking mind" all the time. But now I just say it sparingly.

When I bought my new car the dealer said that he wouldn't "jew me out of a good deal." I was flabbergasted.

"But in all fairness, it could have been worse: At least they didn't end up like the Goth tribe, which will forever be associated with sh**ty LiveJournal poetry."

Goths and Emos get confused again.

Wehever i hear "When Johnny comes marching Home" i Lol. hard.

Meh, theres some racist jews out there. so I guess its only fair that theres anti-semetic african-americans.

The "picnic" one is an urban legend. There's nothing whatsoever racist about the word "picnic".

what does oriental now mean?

These days, you're only supposed to use oriental with rugs and vases. However, I am Chinese myself, and whenever someone in my community gets a little too upset on hearing "oriental" I tell them to remove their stick and their head from their ass.
