OP Transit to old Egypt now?
>Kung over for tea and cakes in the gazebo. This proto-Egyptian? :~)
Thanks for that link with the outrageous extensions of Hottentot
plus other wordy things I long forgot. Really terrible.
I guess Helen, we are just a bit less careful with political correctness and offensive use of words, because the eufemisms are
often just hypocritical. We call white white again and black, after a period of changing from one eufemism to the other. But you are right, of course sensiblities are different in different countries.
black, both parties. (the saying is: we like to call the child by its name)
Oh, this does not mean we use crude words all the time.
