Okay, here's the original post.
As usual it makes no sense at all.

Nah, sorry, complete gibberish


must dash to the Hamilton’s.

Well, with my new found insight into weegie rhyming slang this might, at a push, mean he's going for a curry.

I suppose I should just be glad he didn't say "going for a H"

"anyway, ran out of suncream, beer and glue.......must dash to the Paki's (ie the corner shop)"

I doubt any of the folk JJ is counting as his Hamilton mates would consider themselves as such. Not only do I think JJ hasn't done his due diligence regarding which SE Asia country they are actually from (one having a pint sounded unlikely), they would never refer to themselves as a Paki, rhyming slang or otherwise.

And before anyone asks "Going for a chinky" isn't acceptable anymore either.

Clue: it isn't "Gran'paw Broon's selection of baccies".

Daphne Broon's pish flaps?

No doesnae work.

Okay thanks.

Now what about sweaty?

Sweaty sock - Jock

Completely irrelevant of course as that’s not a racial slur. I got called a ‘Porridge Wog’ once at Lympstone.

[donsdaft]

I thought of sock but couldn't find the rhyme.

It's JJ we're talking about and it doesn't rhyme with p'rick.

I get called a "porridge wog" here at work.

A- Because I live of porridge as I refuse to eat out of the galley (diet also consists of dried fruit, nuts and (nowadays) Gold Bars and Classics)

B- Because the English and welsh think its hilarious to call me it

C-Im Scottish

Ahh. Apologises for my slowness. I've been down south for a long time. That one never seemed to catch on in London

Racism isn't banter

[IveSeenTheLight]

Racism is extremely subjective.
One person's banter is another person's disgust.
I don't condone racism whatsoever, however its interesting to see who defines what as racism.

I take it this conversation is surrounding the use of rhyming slang to refer to a corner shop owner as a Paki.
Whilst I understand the historical derogatory usage of this term, is it not also simply a shortening of the person's country of origin, like we are all Scots? Do we take offence at that?

Is calling an Englishman a guffie racist?
Is calling a Welshman Taff's or Gogs racist?
Is calling Rangers supporters Huns racist?
Is calling Dundee Utd fans PJM's racist?

In the modern world, it's probably wise to stay politically correct on terminology and we shouldn't be calling someone a Paki given its historical context, could it however just be a descriptive term rather than a racial term? Still, it is probably safer to chose alternative descriptive terms for the local convenience store than the Paki's or Hamilton Accies as the rhyming term.

I heard a comedienne the other day refer to David Dimbleby's on Question times reluctance to use easy descriptive terms when selecting an audience member to which she gestured to help him out by saying, "the man with the Turban David, the man with the Turban".

What is the world coming to?
