Subject: RE: BS: Plastic Paddy slur
Richard, if you were to read my first post here you would see that the term has been used against me in a derogatory way and I happen to know that it is used against many others with Irish parents but who talk with English accents.
Terms, especially those not found in dictionaries, are defined by their usage, not by your greater knowledge.
In fact, what you are telling nme is that you are uninformed as to its pejorative usage.
I am informing you.
