It's never bothered me; I've been called far worse in my time and some of that from my mother! (or 'from me mam' as Yorkshire folk would say!)

All I will offer is that I don't care.
The courts or the ACB or the West Woop Woop Netball Association can censure me and the public as often as they like. It still remains that if I can't say it, I can think it and if enough think it, it becomes rule.
PS I am of anglo saxon heritage and my great grand thingies were whinging pommie B******s

"You from England are ya?"
Jeeeezzz, I object to that.
I often get it when I'm in the US of A....
No mate I'm from Australia!
I really object to being called a pommie, because I'm not.
(Nothing personal poms).
Reminds me of an interesting aside:
"I'd rather be a turnip than a Swede, (etc)."
It's an old Simon and Garfunkel number....

Yanks often get Australia confused with Austria. On a training course at Detroit Diesel Indianapolis, I was regularly complimented on my speaking good English. My usual reply was "So do you for an American. Did you learn here or in an English-speaking country?"Quote:
