Where is that?

England

shows just how unreliable the internet can be when searching for justification for one's own narrow point of view

Rich my sides are beginning to hurt from laughing so much. Now you're denying the accuracy of a dictionary compiled from one of the top Universities within your own country. It is a globally recognised standard.

You're argument for doing this is because other dictionaries have not included the definition? Basically Oxford Uni got it wrong. Is that what you're saying? LMAO

Edit:

A quote from OED.com

The Oxford English Dictionary is the accepted authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, both present and past. It traces the usage of words through 2.5 million quotations from a wide range of international English language sources, from classic literature and specialist periodicals to film scripts and cookery books.

You're losing ground...

What do you not understand about "usually offensive"

Who are you talking too, you do know that talking to yourself is the first sign of madness

 

[KenHigg]

I don't nor have I ever greeted or referred to anybody using ethnic slurs.

I am beginning to think you wouldn't know an ethnic slur if it bit you in the bum

If that's how you choose to interprit it, who am I to argue

You Ricky - pooh... Your own rebut post link considered 'chink' offensive

And as a Southern Yank you would

I do know of several, yes And thanks in part to you, I now know several more to avoid.

So it does - Rich has been told enough times that he should know its offensive anyway.

You can remove all doubt by comitting yourself to a straight answer.

Don't worry Rich I won't demand it from you. The history of the OED is miniscule compared to the vast intellect of the Rich

That's so funny Surely Rich can't resist the powers of both the OED and the Britannica.

Edit: BOTH of his links refer to the same definition. I need oxygen ...

Hope his next heater service call isn't from a minority...

He's a resilient chap - After his ego heals a bit, he'll be back loaded for bear...

(I hope he comes back anyway... )

Nah, I doubt it he's too smart for that, as well as I am sure they did't take offence to his comment like the rest of the forum here.

This discussion has gotten way out of hand. Is there anyone here of Asian decent that has taken offence to his statement? If not, then lets drop it. Is it worth fighting among ourselves? If so, speak your mind and then lets drop it.

Rich really is a nice guy, and yes does sometimes type before he thinks, but that doesn't excuse the barage he has recieved here in the last few hours. This was one of the worse, 'Lets gang up on Rich' thread I had seen in a while.

Just had to speak my mind, as well as I hate conflict. I guess that makes me a 'yellow belly' southern hick eh?
