de4856 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Amit Elor, poised to win another title, what a run she is on. I have no idea what weight she’ll go for the Olympics but I think she is going to be a real threat for the Gold medal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The Polak' is much shorter than typing out on my phone 'The Polish lady' is. That and much easier than typing the wrestler's name out. Fat fingers suck.

Many would consider "Polak" (or "Polack") derogatory. I'm not offended, just a bit surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I am in Connecticut for work, I stay in Little Poland (New Britain, CT). They refer to each other as Polaks. My nieces exchange student is Polish as well. I heard her use the term Polak dozens of times when they were there with me earlier this month. I never got any sense from her or any of the residents that the word was bad to use. I understand the flak I get for the 'turdbiscuit' word. This I do not. 1 "I know actually nothing.

Sort of like some other word. But I can't remember that one. DNA clearance to use certain words does seem a bit strange, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNA clearance to use certain words does seem a bit strange, right? Yeah...that word we can't remember is a bit different. It has more historical context. Polak is...IDK, I didn't think it was offensive. I have family that's Polish, it IS kinda used generally to make a joke. My Aunt I guess now that I think about it has always excused thrown it out there when my Cousins did something stupid by saying he's half Polak! Then her Husband would say, "what about our Daughter," and of course it was she got less of the Polak genes. Eh, that was their banter, but I don't recall anyone caring. Jap is just what they'd have on the screen. I suppose if you just referred to people as "Japs," that'd probably not be ideal, but in this context it's more the Country you're talking about. Now...if you were to say the ...word that we've collectively forgotten is "up 5-0," I think it'd be reasonable to find that a bit troubling!

Comparing it to Detroit(Flint) or basically any Miami 'burb is just laughable. Unless it is a term used for cyclists. I could see how some chubby guys would hate to ride the area. Otherwise it's quite gentle. We love the food there. A great diversity of cultures in any direction you go. Add in that I can basically get anywhere I need to within twenty minutes and it's a solid location. If you're ever in/near the area and you like good, authentic Mexican tacos, the second best I have ever had are from a small corner store called Grocery La Paz at the corner of Olive St and Crown St in Meriden. I will be getting some the next time I am in town, for sure. I have been thinking about tacos since Tuesday when my favorite truck decided it wasn't going to be open on Tuesdays anymore (I just found out about it this week... what kind of an 'Authentic Mexican' truck isn't open on Tuesdays?!). 1 "I know actually nothing.

You know how I know you're full of shit? Because no taco on the east coast can sniff a fart compared to literally the rest of the country. This is a hill I am very willing to die on. Hell, I'll get banned by the Senator before I back down from this fisticuffs.
