Can we be called myopic snorklers instead?
I know! Sometimes–usually–it’s good to be king. :rolleyes:
I’m not offended by “wypipo”. But it is a term that I would never use because I have no use for it.
Until now I thought that’s all it was.
I don’t think I’d be insulted by “wypipo” itself, since it just makes the user look like a moron, and chances are their insults would be based on assumptions because of my skin color, rather than anything I’ve actually done. It’s hard to take someone seriously if they’re just flinging rude remarks around hoping for something to stick.
I thought wypipo was plural. So you couldn’t be “a wypipo.” But I could be wrong.
I would just reply, “The Sherriff is near!”, and be amused by the puzzled look on their face.
This is literally the first I ever heard of the term, so I would assume the person was mumbling or just babbling gibberish or something.
If they then proceeded to sit me down and carefully explain to me that it means…whatever it means, I would gradually come to realize that some nontrivial percentage of humanity is stupid.
I’ve never encountered the term “wypipo.” Now that I have, I am not offended by it, not a little bit.
By the way, now that we white people are discussing it, it’s probably obsolete.
Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase were in an SNL skit that kind of covers this discussion.
On my cheap phone right now, will link later. Unless some other candy ass honky beats me to it.
There may not be a word against white people with the same weight as the n word for black people, but the same level of hate can exist in a person of any race towards another.
yymv, imho, no I don’t have a cite, you smooth forehead p’tak!
I think it’s one of the dumbest I’ve heard yet. And I’d probably just laugh if someone used it against me.
I am and I would not.
I don’t have a problem with non-white folks being on default suspicious of me because I’m white. Given the sum totality of bullshit that we’ve put them through over their lives, I figure it’s a reasonable stance to take.
That list should be a test. Get 10/20 points and grats! You are a wypipo. I’ll admit I may be a wypipo. I just can’t tell.
This is hysterical!! Best post of the thread! Yes, yes, let me school you on how to better insult me…
I think there is a Monty Python sketch in there somewhere. 
As for whether or not it would bother me, probably not. I have spent most of my life as a minority in predominately black environments, so I have been witness to all manner of good and bad behavior directed at me. You have to go a lot further than that to get to me.
I’m not even offended when non-whites call me cracker or honky or whatever, because it doesn’t really matter. What’s interesting, though, is that years ago, when I worked and lived in Japan, I actually did kinda mind being called a gaijin…like a little bit.
Almost sounds like it should be a Key and Peele sketch, if they were still doing that show.
Does it count if I sometimes define myself by the point of view of the older Hispanic population in New Mexico and call myself Anglo? How about using gringo in a somewhat self-deprecating manner?
Having never heard it before; no. But I was fine for the 22 years my wife and I were just “possel-q’s” (POSSLQ).
if you want to take it more seriously, you can use the spelling Y. P. Pull, which I found in the link from Jasmine’s post.
but, no, not offended no matter how you spell it.
Y. P. Pull sounds like a rejected staffer from Car Talk.
