What's in a name? Offensive or not.
First topic message reminder :
I've been rebuked a couple of times in the past couple of weeks for using offensive generic names:
1. Ladyboys - a fellow poster said that this was offensive to Leinster fans although it is commonly used by their own fans.
2. Paddy. An Admin PMed me for using that term (https://www.606v2.com/t28373-rugby-people-who-deserve-a-statue). In fact I just c&p the name from an Irish poster.
So what is allowable?
Is it right to refer to Argentinians as Argies (as opposed to Pakistanis as p-words)?
Saracens as Saffacens?
Ulster as Saffergits?
Scots a Jocks (or sweaties)
English as Sais or sassenach?
Welsh, New Zealand, Oz, English rural dwellers etc as sheep-s*aggers.
Can I call Llanelli female rugby fans Scarlet Women?
What is acceptable and what is not?
There really ought to be a Admin/mod input into this (I'll PM the admin that rebuked me link for this article).

No, it was the threat of a slap that had me worried!
