That would be fun.

 

Rather than saying, "A Brit told me this about Yanks", I should say, "A human citizen of the United Kingdom told me this about fellow human citizens of the United States".

 

I swear I sometimes think you folks are gonna PC yourselves right out of existence.

 

** note to Peter Waller - I don't mind being called a Yank and would even tolerate Yankee once (cuz we is friends) although I'd correct you. I am a Johnny Reb by birth and by inclination. **

I have often heard Essex men call themselves 'Johns'. Always presumed its an abbreviation of 'or wite, John, no wot I mene'. As for the regalisation, bit of a mystery is that , obscure Broads humour that I first heard up in Norfolk! Well deserved, in some cases, maybe.

This has nothing to with political Correctness Greg, Paki is a racist slur, To use the term is unaceptable, Have I used It yes!and when I have it was to demean the person I was adressing, I am older and wiser now and ashamed to have used the term, Harry was talking about a mate on a supposed personal vidio diary,I belive the term was used in a freindly fashion unfortunately its not acceptable, as I have said no one would introduce a freind to a crowd of new poeple as this is my friend Paki or Nigger it just isnt done , Jocks, Taff, Paddy are hardly the same thing for one we are all white Europians! Harry bless his haert Screwed up, he isnt a victem of political corectness nor the do good brigade he was victem to being Niave!

 

Paddy, Taffy and Jock were all used in a racist manner....admittedly they usually had F*cking before them but the words were used in a racist way at the time. There was a time in the 50s and 60s in the UK when there were signs up at lodging houses stating: No paddys and no blacks.

a bloke from Suffolk

 

 

"Tractor Boy" is the term you are looking for

 

Have also heard Suffolk folk called "snickerdoodles" - a term more properly used to define a cinnamon-flavoured cookie. Still pondering the connection.....
