It's not what it might seem...

My brother's got a part in a film; he's playing a rac15t young thug. naturally, he is not such thing, but need to research what racists say and their rhythm of speech and slang etc.

Anyone know any good UK based 'resources'? (thinking of either boards populated by young nazi5, or research on this issue etc)

they all talk like Keebler Elves.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

they use cultrual group names as verbs.

My first suggestion would be to search the web via Google. If that doesn't pan out, tell him to do everything in an Elmer Fudd voice.

Keebler Elves vs. Elmer Fudd: who is the master of the master race?

I was amazed/disgusted by the tons (was going to say cornucopia, but can't spell it) of south african 'slang' for negroes that actually is In the OED...

Worse than that - I accidentally added this to my "favourites" list on my browser. But I noticed an hour later and removed it before anyone 'noticed' what it was called and assumed the worst...

Words are words, its attitude and context that matter.

that list is weird. i think some of them are just made up. and some of them are pretty far from being racial slurs. "Canucklehead?"

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I need to start using "canucklehead", that's a good one.

here are two more that I frankly don't understand:

Beaver-Beater
French-Canadians
Fur trade.

whu-huh?
Beef-Curtain
Greeks
Possibly originated from their smell.

isn't b/c slang for labia?

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha who knew that Wolverine was a self-loathing bigot???

HAHAHAHAHA "BEEF-CURTAIN"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Have you never heard beef curtain before Dan. You surprise me. Jonathon Green's slang Dictionary is not afraid to get down and dirty with the terms of racial abuse.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I have never heard "beef curtain" used to describe someone of Greek ethnicity. The sheer wrongness of the definition ("Possibly originated from their smell."?????????? WTF?????) combined with the labial association I know is giving me fits. I mean, of all of the possible stereotypes out there, "Greek people smell like labia" has to be pretty fucking far out there.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, missed the refering to Greek bit. Obv you would have heard of beef curtains in its other more day to day meaning.

― Pete (Pete), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the soft sell of "possibly because of their smell." Who ever made the list obv. thinks that Greek people do smell like labia.
My own first-hand experience is inconclusive. The one Greek person I got close enough to smell did smell like labia, but that's cuz, uh, that's where, uh...you get the idea.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Bloodsucker isn't on the list...

― ModJ (ModJ), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Internet lists of slang terms are almost always complete bollocks, in my experience. Witness some of the 'UK English - US English' lexicons out there.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Why don't we do one for the ILXor publishing imprint which inevitably has to be set up at some point?

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:19 (twenty-two years ago)

More from the above list that seem completely implausible and convoluted (their naive etymologies are wonders in themselves):

Dan
Jewxican
Lincoln's Mistake
Maple Leaf Ni99er
Muppetfucker
Nine Iron
Pizzabagel
Seinfeld
Shadow-Smurf
Terrence

I AM A RACIAL SLUR

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

There's an absurd list of insults for lesbians in The Cutting Room that included 'funpigs', which tickled me so that I googled it and was unable to find any reference to it (meaning that at least) even in the hate-infested world of USENET archives. Then I found a weird webpage that had what I think was exactly the same list on it, leading me to guess that Louise Welsh had lifted it from there.

(join the earth and link in the url if you want to see - I didn't want them to get referrals from here.)

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

You are a particularly mean-spirited and ridiculous racial slur.

― Luigi Vampa (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 14 January 2004 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Which is why we love him so.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 15 January 2004 02:10 (twenty-two years ago)

(that would square EXACTLY with the rest of her approach to writing the cutting room, n.)
