Would you classify Taylor as an Uncle Tom?

HA HA!!! Ain't that the truth!

Here's a hint for any "yankees"..."Bless his/her heart" can be taken a variety of ways.

Here's another Southern phrase with double meaning. "My, MY that sho' is a pretty dress. Did'ja make it yo self?" HAHAHAHA!

I know America has never really gone big on irony, but this is something new.

In the Lounge recently there were lots of anti-Brit threads like "do you think Brits are gay?" and so on. So I did my own thread as a parody of that. It seems it went over some people's heads.

No you didn't. You're just trying to take back what you've said to cover yourself because you've realized what an idiot you have to be to ask such a question in the first place... I really wish you'd just stay banned.

True. It's like you need an encription code on some "southernisms" to know if someone is complementing you or politely insulting you while smiling at the same time.

I'm suprised you've asked a question like this Anorak, seeing as you're such a big Danny Williams fan, and as me and you both know, theres no bigger gentleman in the sport of boxing than Danny Williams.

However, not everybody means it in a bad way on the "dress thing"...there was a time when sewing skills were held in high regard. It really depends on the age and backgroudn of the individual southerner. If she's from the ****ry (country) then it is probably a sincere complement; but if she's of "southern belle" heritage, she just slapped you in public.

[Easy-E]

Yup.
You went too far.

My added respect to Anorak for the courage (others may call it chutzpah?) to ask the question that may, indeed, have simmered to be asked. Hey, pal, I think you've stirred a hornet's nest!

I gotta ask 'em, right, mate?

TIME TO BAN THIS RACIST PRICK!

Time to ban this moron who accuses others of being racist as a knee-jerk reaction and can't take the caps lock off. The only "prick" around here is the one between your girlfiend's legs.

I knew you were being sarcastic with that thread but now this thread comes up and now I think you really are ignorant about Americans as I thought.

I was curious to see a reaction to a question, including yours. It does amuse me in a wry way that I have to wade through post after post of Brit bashing, yet give an American even a moderate tease and they'll go on a WMD hunt for it.

And K-Dogg, thanks for the graciously put info.

Oh...Well, they're called donkeys and bououghs, depending upon who you talk to.

wrong direction west of the mississippi for the most part they are called bouroghs...east of it they call'em donkies
