I never said you were, I'm just trying to sensitize you to the power of words. ;) How would you feel about the term "Chelsea gypos"? Would that be ok because it's used by football thugs? :\

SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS...IF i SHOUTED "RENT BOYS" AT A GROUP OF PEOPLE NOT EVEN KNOWING WHAT THEIR SEXUAL PREFERENCES WERE...THAT;'S HOMOPHOBIC?

EDIT: Ecuse the caps...I've been drinking 15 litres of methylated spirits. ;)

Yes. Like I said, it's a disparaging term which is meant to be demeaning to homosexuals, right? To use an analogy which should be closer to your heart, it's like saying someone's a a dirty gypo (an insult that gets used in this country a lot). They don't have to be romani but it still indicates racism. :\

OK I see your point. If someone used the word "Gypo" as an insult towards an individual I knew wasn't even of roma descent, then yes it would annoy me.

What about Ronaldo's goal hey? :D

Back on topic I see? :)

It was a belter, thats for sure.

A belter?

Twas a 36 yard screamer!

I thought it was 39 yards? :p:

Well in that case it's a Rootcher!

it was a great goal...he is a football genius...probably one of the best three footballers in the world right now, but he is such a douchebag...

As someone who sells their body for sex on a regular basis i'm highly offended at the connotation of myself being likened to the likes of Didier Drogba & John Terry.
