> Riceboys (many think this is derogatory, but it's not)
Good Shadowfax, Associating rice with an asian car that, according Brunnen-G, is usually driven by teenage asian boys makes me think of naming an Irish staple the potato ____. I'd wager that you'd say the term riceboys isn't derogatory because the phrase, in your area, doesn't refer to an asian populace. Playing the devil's advocate for the sake of my curiosity: Why is everyone that thinks the phrase riceboys is derogatory wrong?
Euge'should probably make a joke or two to lighten any un-lightened mood of this e-mail'ne
P.S. What did the bagel say to the loaf of bread? If I had as much dough as you, think I'd be livin' around this hole?
