Actually, I think Ferrous is cuter.

Still, I can’t figure out why Pork Chop is offensive.

From the link:
Guillermo Lopez, vice president of the Latino Leadership Alliance, said he was called "pork chop" when he worked at Bethlehem Steel decades ago.

What I will never understand is why anyone would allow a whiner with illusions of importance to decide my life for me. Why would anyone else?

I can't believe this story.

In Connecticut in the late 70's-early 80's "pork chop" was a what they called the Portuguese who lived there. Never met any myself. If the girls I dated or their families spoke another language it was usually Spanish.

Interesting on reflecting that I would come to love speaking Portuguese and Spanish so much I use it every day now.
