I guess you didn’t know I was making a joke too. Didn’t see your Tonya Harding joke above though.
“git yer programs, git yer programs rite here! can’t tell the jokes widdout yer programs”
Listen up, garcon. It wasn’t that funny.
Sorry, sorry…geez…I wasn’t trying to be flip, really…
It’s my manner, sir…it looks insubordinate, but it isn’t really…
The word is garçon. I know that you can afford charmap.exe on your computer. You are deliberately insulting the Francophones of this on-line community.
Neither was your attack on the French with your use of the word “garcon” in a derogatory capacity.
By tonight, FIFTY MILLION FRENCHMEN (and WOMYN) will be at your front door to demand that you retract your comment and apologize.
If you do, they’ll stick around and watch Jerry Lewis movies with you long into the night.
If not, they may eat cheese and surrender.

I LOVE that movie. You MUST be right, Dewey, just 'cause you quote great movies.
We’ll just ignore that dumbass that started this whole thing to begin with. And yes, I am weighing in and saying it was a dumbass remark for him to make, and to label you a racist was rediculous, libelous, and just plain bad.
if boy means a black man than why is Chef Boyardee white ?
And what’s up with that Boy George fellow?
DCH has his faults. Chief among these is a lack of stunned respect and awe for an intellect that, while unconventional, far surpasses his own. I put this down to a morbid regret for a decision to go to law school, and abandon a career as an entrepreneur of tie-dyed shirts. There are others, of course, but time is limited.
But by no stretch of the imagination can I believe that his use of the phrase “clever boy” had even the slightest, the merest, the most vanishingly minute hint of racism. Clearly, this is an excercise in snotty condescension. Compared to racism, that’s just good clean fun. No hurt, no foul.
All in all, I think this is a niggling complaint.
What EXACTLY are you trying to say?
“niggling”?
elucidator, how dare you insult the African-Americans on this board.
I believe the words you were looking for were “nit-picking”, if we can all agree that there’s no possible way to insult lice.
A Pitting! A Pitting!
And then, the oral sex!
I want to change my name to…
Worksonconsignment Nomoneydown
If you like the “clever” adjective, may I suggest that you replace “boy” with “Hans”?
You’ll get yourself in hot water with PEE (Protectors of Erudite Equine) for saying that.
Um…I believe cookies were also mentioned…
…or was that another thread?
I am wracking my brain trying to follow up the “Clever Hans” jokes above.
You hoof defeated me.
Yet-Knish.
Say it proudly, everyone.
Yet-Knish!
I think all this calling people ‘offensive’ is really off… er, insulting to us defensive people.
