r.padgett Is 'black as any moor' acceptable? (89* d) RE: Is 'black as any moor' acceptable? 25 Feb 25


Yes, words and language and attitudes continue to change and so do male and female attitudes (Spanish Football chief's kiss for example)

Black as any Moor ~ does need an understanding and perhaps a vision of a black turbaned person, maybe

Moors in this context rather than common ground and era makes sense

Is it really necessary to change this? Maybe

Traditional songs do contain many instances of now perceived unacceptable language and actions that were once part and parcel of life ~ we continue to see such on the telly in popular series over 50 plus years. Tradies leave such matters on the club room door, you know what's what
