Hey DU: Drop that awful "WHIGgers"-- How bout "WHIGcons?
Really, the DU brain/talent/snarktrust can come up with better than the ugly "WHIGgers"-- a bit too cozy with a RW Nazi term for human beings.

THANK YOU! :bounce: :smoke: :patriot:

12. a derogatory term
for white kids who act black.

I had a HUGE argument with my brother about ten years ago because his teenagers were using the word and I jumped all over his daughter for saying it. They thought it was "harmless". Right.

22. I like the image of them all "hip Hoppin" that comes with mine. They
are not "loozers". They are a bunch of dangerous testosterone cases.
