Mekong Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Furthermore, The Suffix "Stan" means "Place Of" or "Land Of" so it makes sense that the people are Pakis, just as Afghans are not "Afghanistanis" and Tajik's are not "Tajikistani's", Uzbeks are not "Uzbekistani's", Kurds are not "Kurdistanis", etc etc, I could go on and on with the Khazaks, and the Wazirs, and Turkmens, etc etc So far all of them follow the same set of rules but Paki"stanis" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 ....the vid almost resembles the first time i "entered" Afterskool... So you stood in front of Afterskools manual sliding door and expected it to open automatically?! How come one of the girls didn't open it for you and then drag you inside?

Mekong Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 How could I forget the Bogtrotters? First time I met an Irish bar manager in Thailand, he bought me a beer and having a chat etc and rather than tell me his name he asked me to guess it. Now having worked with many Irish Engineers on and off over the years I guessed names that were familiar to me. Aiden .... NO Seamus .... NO Paidrig .... NO Noel ..... NO Sean ..... NO Patrick .... NO (Polite Paggy) Declan ...., NO and so on until I gave up He then said "Its MICK, and I am a proud MICK, we have been good friends ever since.

robaus Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Many words in the English language have subtle (and not so subtle) hidden meanings. The denotation of a word is its dictionary definition; the connotation is its emotive/implied meaning. e.g. slim = of narrow proportion.. and it looks good (positive connotation) thin = of narrow proportion (neutral denotation) skinny = of narrow proportion… and it looks bad (negative connotation) Sometimes, even the very same word can have both positive and negative connotations depending on its context and the implied meaning of the user. We were in doubt at all what Richardson meant when he opened the Aussie dressing room door to a complaining Douglas Jardine in the “Bodyline†film, and turns to his mates saying, “Which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?†To my ear the connotations of these nationalities are: Kiwi – positive Yank – negative Pommie – can be both positive and negative depending on context Krout – negative Frog – negative Wop – negative Paki – negative, probably a leftover from the context of Paki bashing in the 70s So, BadaBing, either you’ve led a very sheltered life, or you are being disingenuous when you claim innocent usage of the term. Apparently such diverse readers as those of the News of the World, Daily Telegraph, and the Independent were well aware of its derogatory meaning when Prince Harry referred to his “little Paki friend†in 2009. www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/.../Watch-Prince-Harrys-racist-outbursts-on-video.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/prince-harry-called-a-fellow-soldier-his-little-paki-friend-1299804.html www.telegraph.co.uk/.../Prince-Harry-Paki-row-Prince-facing-Army-discipline-over-sickening-comments.html To a Pakistani it’s as bad as using the n.. word to an African American. So now you know, if you didn’t previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
