Ok all y'all Americans etc fail at cheating on quizzes...... :lol:
|
It's all part of being American. We are the "Fair Play" people rather than the "Stiff Upper Lip" people.
|
I couldn't cheat at games if I wanted to...then it isn't winning if you win, not a'tall. Where's the fun in that? I need to be #winning.
|
Hang on... when did "stiff upper lip" negate fair play?
It's just not cricket, I tell you! |
It's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts.
Play up, play up, and play the game. |

The answer to #1 is Sooty :lol:

On second thoughts, I should look for a better pic. That one seems to be Sooty as Hitler...

Heil Hamster! (That IS a hamster, isn't it?) |
Sooty was/is a bear wasn't he? And Sweep was a ?dog? and annoying Sue was a Panda
|
I don't know if Sooty was a bear, but Fuzzy Wuzzy was, wasn't he?
|
I just know you have to be careful or the fuzzy wuzzies will get you.
And I think they don't like it up 'em. But that could have been something else. |
No it was definitely the Fuzzy Wuzzies. They don't like it up 'em.
|
wasn't fuzzy wuzzy a racially abusive term in the 70s? Kind of like golliwog.
|
She can use racially abusive terms in her own Disney Land thread. :P
I am sure it wasn't done with any malicious forethought. It's a paradox, kinda like the Ouroboros. |

Quote:
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he? So I don't know about any derogatory term unless you don't like Hadendoa or Rudyard Kipling. :rolleyes: |
It was used as a racist term I'm pretty sure.
The name was given to the Hadendoa because of their elaborate hairstyles (according to wiki), by the British. So it's a descriptive name used by the imperialist brits to describe a native people. Seems not too far from calling someone 'nappy head'. |
Just went and looked at the Urban Dictionary:
Quote:
|
Ahhh, I see. In our country it just meant an imaginary fuzzy bear that wasn't fuzzy, was he?
Of course, I guess those undertones could still be there...but I was never aware of them. |
It's a quote/catchphrase from "Dad's Army". My apologies to whose who were offended.
|
:confused:
I dunno. You people are talking a whole other language...English, isn't it? |
Right. I assumed the Brits would get it and others might google. It never occured to me that people would just think I was being racially offensive. How stupid of me.
|
Oh, I thought I was supposed to be racially offensive, having brought up the hairless imaginary bear fuzzy wuzzy, who wasn't fuzzy, was he?
Let me ask some of my cow orkers what they think of the pome. |
btw, anyone know why skywhatever is stalking me when she hates me so much?

skywalker wants you to look at his big green wand. LOOK AT IT. LOOK!

New game!
Predict Sheldon's joke! "I've seen Luke's wand but it didn't get that color from ME!" |
Luke's wand saw mine and turned green with envy....

Thanks for the clarification, I thought you'd get it but was confused by the direction the discourse took. I figured it was fine to post seeing as it's still deemed OK by the BBC.
eta OK, with your clarification, I now see how/where the thread got diverted into my being racist. Is troll a racist term? |
I don't think it's used as a racist term any more. I had togoogle it to make sure i was remembering correctly, 'cause I think it was a 70s thing. I have a vague recollection of it being used recently by the Gene Wolf character in Life on Mars, which was of course set in the 70s. That's the first time I've heard it used in years.
|
Right, I think it's archaic enough to be OK as a historical reference.
|
Shame Dad's Army didn't make it so big over here -another imminently quotable show -more so even than Are You Being Served.
Did Dad's Army mention the yanks? Can't remember now..... might be why it never crossed the Atlantic.... |
Oh God yeah. Sorry lol. I seem to have imposed a massive downer onto a fun thread :p
Context is everything. Say something with racist intent and it's racist. Say it without racist intent and chances are it won't be racist. |
Ladies, Fuzzy Wuzzy is a charming nursery rhyme based on wordplay.
There is no subtext. At least not in America. Next you'll be telling us that there is something nasty in Mairzy Doats. Or the amount of wood chuckable by a woodchuck. Or Louie, Louie. |
I'mm'a go watch some on youtube now :D
