    FC Den Bosch tried to claim racist chants from their fans aimed at Ahmad Mendes Moreira weren't racist chants but "crow sounds"

    Funnily enough, Dn Bosch were quick to backtrack on that and apologise...

    As the "crows" were calling him negro and cotton picker, they were more likely to be myna birds.

    Stop using "literally" when you mean "metaphorically".
    This is literally stupid.
    **** off. Literally.

    This is literally a bugbear for me <whistle>

    I once ended up in a sharp exchange with the Scottish comic Susan Calman on twitter as I pulled her up for saying "I was literally beside myself" - among the most stupid things I've read.

    I can cope with “totally”, but hate “really really” more than “literally”. It really really pisses me off. Absolutely. Sooooo much.
    Who is there such need for all this hyperbole anyway?

    Eamonn Holmes is in trouble for calling Princess Meghan “uppity”.
    Apparently this is a racial slur.
    Yes, I’m confused too.
    Without wishing to sound uppity, is any criticism of anyone non white racist, irrespective of whether it’s justified or not?

    I don’t have a problem with premature treejaculation.
    I’d put the tree up in July if it was down to me- 24th November s hardly early!

    It's a word that only ever seems to be used for women and non-white men.

    I
    I think a lot of gaps are being filled in to interpret it as racist. Probably more to do with her embracing the privileges of royalties too easily than her racial background.

    No I disagree uppity is a word used in an unequal society about anyone who it is considered is behaving above their pay grade. But like many words it depends on how old you are when using or defining it.
    It's a characteristic of human society that the younger generations believe their changes to society are definitive and the older generations do not understand the changes that always occur.
    Life is short enough without curtailing it to between 25 to 50 with anything outside these magic years being considered either too young or alternatively past it.

    I'm not confused, the word definitely has racial and class connotations. He deserves any criticism he gets.
