re: #58 Anymouse 🌹🎃

I don’t ever recall the phrase until I left home and joined the Navy. It always struck me as a bigoted thing to say. I guess I led a sheltered life.

Our family was fairly coarse in their language but I think they understood the distinction between what was acceptable in private and what was okay in public.

And that was also a long time ago: needless to say, what was accepted then is not necessarily acceptable now.
