habebe Member	Tue Sep 16 20:43:31 0-9 5 and 2 / 5 by 2 / 4 by 2 / 3 by 2 (England) Cockney rhyming slang for a Jew. Originated in the early 1900s.[1] A Abbie / Abe / Abie (North America) a Jewish male. From the proper name Abraham. Originated before the 1950s.[2] ABCD (Subcontinentals in U.S.) "American-Born Confused Desi", used to imply that an American-born South Asian is confused about their cultural identity. ABCD is the most common version of the phrase, but there are variations of it that extend all the way to the letter 'z' in at least two different versions: "American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From Gujarat, House in Jersey, Kids Learning Medicine, Now Owning Property, Quite Reasonable Salary, Two Uncles Visiting, White Xenophobia Yet Zestful" and "American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From Gujarat, Housed In Jersey, Keeping Lotsa Motels, Named Omkarnath Patel, Quickly Reached Success Through Underhanded Vicious Ways, Xenophobic Yet Zestful"[3] Abo / Abbo (AUS) Australian Aboriginal person. Originally, this was simply an informal term for "Aborigine", and was in fact used by Aboriginal people themselves until it started to be considered offensive in 1950s. In remoter areas, Aboriginal people still often refer to themselves (quite neutrally) as "Blackfellas" (and whites as "Whitefellas"). Although "Abo" is still considered quite offensive by many, the pejorative "boong" is now more commonly used when the intent is to deliberately offend, as that word's status as an insult is unequivocal.[4] Afro-Saxon (North America) A young white male devotee of African-American pop culture.[5] Alabama Blue Gums (U.S.) a black person.[6][7][8] Albino (U.S.) A term for whites, also a derogatory term for light skinned blacks used by darker skinned blacks.[9] (see colorism) Alligator bait (U.S.) also "Gator Bait." A black person, especially a black child. More commonly used in states where alligators are found — particularly Florida. First used in the early 1900s, although some hypothesize the term originated in the late 1800s.[10] Alter kacker / alter kocker (Yiddish) / alter kucker / A.K. (North America) a disparaging term for elderly Jewish people. The term is of Yiddish origin (literally meaning old shitter). First used in the early 1900s.[11] Ami (Germany) American. Formerly specifically for American soldiers, now for Americans in general.[12] Anglo-pilferer An Anglo-Australian possibly of convict lineage. Based on the belief that all Anglo-Australians are descended from convicts. Particularly offensive.[13] Ann (North America) A white woman to a black person — or a black woman who acts too much like a white one. While Miss Ann, also just plain Ann, is a derisive reference to the white woman, by extension it is applied to any black woman who puts on airs and tries to act like Miss Ann.[14] Ape (U.S.) a black person.[15] Apple (North America) An American Indian (Native American) who is "red on the outside, white on the inside." Used primarily by other American Indians to indicate someone who has lost touch with their cultural identity. First used in the 1980s.[16] Argie (UK) a native of Argentina (also Argie-bargie : any argument, disagreement, or (typically) sporting event involving Argentina or Argentinians), used by the British press during the Falklands War. Coined by Britain's The Sun newspaper in 1982.[17] Aunt Jemima / Aunt Jane / Aunt Mary / Aunt Sally / Aunt Thomasina (U.S.) a black woman who "kisses up" to whites, a "sellout", female counterpart of Uncle Tom.[18]

habebe Member	Tue Sep 16 21:04:50 Boche; bosche; bosch (France; U.S.; UK) a German [from either Bosch, a large German firm, French caboche head, or Alboche, modification of Allemand German].[ Hey there is a new one for me, we usually just call eachother Huns and Krauts Cheese-eating surrender monkey (UK, US, Canada) A Frenchman, from the perceived proclivity of the French to surrender in military confrontations and the huge variety of French cheeses available. This was from the simpsons (specifically from the episode "The PTA disbands" I beleive) Dune coon (US) Derogatory term used for Arabs and other peoples of the Middle East.[58]. Popularised in David O. Russell's movie about Gulf War I Three Kings (1999). Dutchman noun. (1) [19th century on, Dutch being corrupted from the Pennsylvania German self-descriptive word Deitsch. Anyone of Germanic heritage (as with Anglo-Celtic Pennsylvanians) a Pennsylvania German; (2) (mid-1800s to 1920s) a foreigner, especially one who does not speak English well; (3) a bar keeper;[59] (4) anglophone South African whites, used for Afrikaner[60] Frog (Canada UK US) A French person. Prior to 1800's, referred to the Dutch (as they were stereotyped as being marsh-dwellers). When France became Britain's main enemy, replacing the Dutch, the epithet transferred to them,[66][67] due to the French recipe for eating frogs' legs (see comparable French term Rosbif). Also used in Canada to refer to both the French and French Canadians, more specifically to people from Quebec.[68] *themed to music* These are a few of my favorite slurs

habebe Member	Tue Sep 16 21:18:05 Nappy-headed ho (US) A black woman with natural hair, and sometimes tattoos. Infamously used by Don Imus, leading to him being fired. HAHAHAHA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niggardly Funny read, although it's sad how ignorant some people can be (the howard dean incident)
habebe Member	Tue Sep 16 21:19:26 Julian Bond, then chairman of the NAACP, deplored the offense that had been taken at Howard's use of the word. "You hate to think you have to censor your language to meet other people’s lack of understanding", he said. "David Howard should not have quit. Mayor Williams should bring him back — and order dictionaries issued to all staff who need them."[4] Bond also said, "Seems to me the mayor has been niggardly in his judgment on the issue. [...] We have a hair-trigger sensibility, and I think that is particularly true of racial minorities."[5] lmao
master P Member	Tue Sep 16 23:06:55 Heh. I once had a long discussion with my firend's grandpa about niggardly. He prounced it "niggerly" and swore it had its roots with the word nigger, but was correct on the definition. He kept saying stuff like "its not inaccurate, as black people are very cheap. Probably because they're all so poor."
Eikeys Ghost Sports Mod	Tue Sep 16 23:18:23 http://en....about_the_word_%22niggardly%22 On January 15, 1999, David Howard, a white aide to Anthony A. Williams, the black mayor of Washington, D.C., used the word in reference to a budget. This apparently upset one of his black colleagues (identified by Howard as Marshall Brown), who incorrectly interpreted it as a racial slur and lodged a complaint. As a result, on January 25 Howard tendered his resignation, and Williams accepted it.[1] However, after pressure from the gay community (of which Howard was a member) an internal review into the matter was brought about, and the mayor offered Howard the chance to return to his position as Office of the Public Advocate on February 4. Howard refused but accepted another position with the mayor instead, insisting that he did not feel victimized by the incident. On the contrary, Howard felt that he had learned from the situation. "I used to think it would be great if we could all be colorblind. That's naive, especially for a white person, because a white person can't afford to be colorblind. They don't have to think about race every day. An African American does."[1] It has been speculated that this incident inspired Philip Roth's novel The Human Stain. [2]
Goreth Member	Wed Sep 17 08:54:08 "He kept saying stuff like "its not inaccurate, as black people are very cheap. Probably because they're all so poor."" Funny, over here Neger (the german word for negro) is also used as a synonym for being broke.
