Whilst it is of course offensive to use words which are used elsewhere as a term of racial harassment, I object to the way that some minorities hi-jack normal English for their own ends.
Whilst I was flying at Incirlik AB, it was clear that the F-15 people weren't allow to talk about the 'fighter box' or 'head-on intercept' - it seems that some ignorant, bra-burning old sow had complained that words such as 'box' and 'head' constituted sexual harassment....
So we asked the Spams whether they would please stop using a word which our ladies found deeply offensive. Being dim, they didn't realise that this was an obvious wind-up....
"Gee, sir, sorry - what word is that?"
"BUSH!!"
As for the look on their faces when they were told that "Smoking fags" was quite normal in the RAF.....
Until, that is, we told them that it meant smoking cigarettes, not shooting homosexuals.
As for the unpopular Wing Commander's equally unpopular dog, there are rumours that it never was buried; instead it was slung into a ditch by a hacked-off erk who'd been told to dig its grave.
