Or perhaps the paparazzi caught you between projects at the local Walmart?

I did it as a joke -- the real nameplate said "ALARM."
The customer wouldn't let me swap them out. They thought it was funny.

Nobody seemed to care when the word Canuck was being thrown around the forum left and right. It's just as derogatory as white trash.
-
Whites (and I guess Canadians too), are the new "it's ok to trash minority".
-
Stupid crackers and honkies...
P.S. - I'm white, so I GUESS its okay to say it too.

Who knew Vancouver hockey was so offensive? :dunno

Even the dictionary lists it as derogative. Basic meaning is "Canadian (often western) white trash". Every time I bring that up someone points out the hockey team as proof it's not a slur. In reality that team is not much different from the Redskins. Yeah, some Canadians use it to refer to each other, but that's how slurs work. You can call your own people the slur. People here don't know because people here don't know jack crap about Canada to begin with.

Maybe it could ruffle someone's feathers in 1800, but not today.
Canuck is about as offensive as Yankee. Other countries may throw out Yankee in a lowbrow sense, but definitely not maliciously. If Americans use it, it often even out of pride. It's slang, not a slur.

well... for fear this will be P&R'd I guess I can consider canuck, honkie, and cracker hate crime material and therefore be hypersensitive when anybody of any sort of ethnicity says it to me...but be okay with it when my brethren say it.
just sayin'?

That's why I am a fan of the Harry Callahan philosophy. Be a racist to every single ethnic group out there, including your own. That way it is technically not racism anymore. :P

That's interesting. I always thought that yankee generally had to have "damn" in front of it to really offend anyone these days. Considering that our revolutionary war march was Yankee Doodle, I had figured most of us got over that one in the 1700's.
-
Uh, yankee is pretty damn offensive in Texas. Up there with "liar", perhaps even worse because "liar" and "thief" are implied. I had to calm myself down once when some dipshit at a pinball show called me a liar when he really meant, "you're pulling my leg" so obviously regional differences vary and panties twist at different speeds.
There have been more than a few times that I've been called a no good ---smurfing--- Yankee because I live in the Boston area (despite not being from here).
Ironically, in the Boston area, calling someone a Yankee is nearly as bad but actually means NYC.
