Michael Emrys Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 How can it be considered libel when it's true? Sergei (left) and Zeb (right) never did finnish this game of CM they started ...

John Kettler Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Lt Belenko, When I was at Hughes, the answer would've been "With a closed office door." Management went PC nuts before the term was even invented. Meanwhile, with our having to be very careful to say nothing suggestive or sexist, we'd hear tales of bosses doing their secretaries on the bosses' desktops. Yes, back then they were called secretaries. People, Here's an ethnically ambiguous food based term; "garlic eaters."

MrPeng Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Actually, Monsewer Kettler, I'm almost certain that "garlic eaters" was (is?) a disparaging phrase used by Japanese people regarding Koreans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 MrPeng, Perhaps true, but I believe the British in the Age of Fighting Sail applied it to both the French and Italians. If you're right, perhaps the Koreans should call the Japanese "radish eaters." Oh, I am NOT French, so I you wish to throw yourself headlong into, say, the Cloaca Maxima circa 100 BCE, be my guest!
