Does my profile name cause offence?

To be honest, had you not have written this thread I wouldn't have made any particular note of your name.

I know a guy called Jon Briton, for example, so if his username was JBrit it would be his name that's all. That's kinda what I assumed about your username.

It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. As opposed to the derogatory terms used as example in this thread and the this-thread-parody thread that's probably been deleted by now.

my god! Your such a Jewish male circumcision!

Yeah sure Skyfire, you just happened to know the Irish usage for it.

It's still not the same though, as the 'n' word isn't EVER used to describe a nationality by anyone.

Do not use the 'p' word Las Naranjas. The very sight of the word upsets me, thankyou.

Does anyone find the term lemmy to be any way discriminatory towards lemmings? Or perhaps guitarists?

FUCK LEMMINGS! KILL ALL LEMMINGS!

Erm. Sorry. Forget I said that.

Quote from: Wikipedia
In Ireland it usually is a derogatory term used by Irish nationalists to denote members of the British army.

I don't think I've ever referred to a person from Britain as a "Brit" $:-\$

"Neighbour" usually suffices.

EDIT:

"I don't think I've ever referred to a person from Britain as a "Brit" Undecided

"Bastard" usually suffices."

*sniff*

It could be worse, you could live in Britain and not have the convenient get out clause of not being British...

PS: You're still my hero.

LimpingFish, much as I find you rather amusing in your posts, and your avatar is so very cute I find this statement awfully offensive and I...

no. This is all very silly. This is possibly the most ridiculously tame "offensive" thread I have ever seen.

BRITS OUT!

UP YE WEE LADS!

It's not the term but the context that is offensive. So you're fine.

LimpingFish · Fri 27/10/2006 00:01:07

Yes, we seem to be entering the realm of teh funny now.

We need to unite all peoples as one uber-people!

So, without further ado...

"I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony/I'd like to buy...the...um...world a..."

Damn, how does the real version of that song go? I only know the Coca Cola version. $:-\$

Some of my best friends are British. Actually I don't have any friends, but if I did they could be British.

Maybe.

LimpingFish randomly hugs people.

My mistake. Boo! Irish people! Boo!

lemmy101 · Fri 27/10/2006 00:07:07

surely bog trotting happens about half an hour after haggis munching?

JimBrit, you have been here since July of 2005, so if people were offended by your user name, i think you would have heard about it alot sooner.

I'm a Yank, and if somebody even had the user name DumbYank, i still wouldn't be offended by it.

I find this thread very entertaining.

CaptainBinky · Fri 27/10/2006 00:08:15

Boo! Americans! Boo!

Jimtbrit who?

Oh yes, I know him!

And perhaps that's what we should all take away from all this!

My daughter is hell-bent on signing up for these forums as "EmiHalfJap" but I keep telling her not too...
