Oh yeah, your mother is so ugly that ......... Yeah we were a lot freer back then, before we became servants of the left. We were the WOPs, The Micks, the Spics, the Pollacks, the Kikes, the Krauts, the Schwarters, and we made jokes about each other and laughed and remained friends in spite of it all. We were born with tough skin, and we were disciplined in school, and took the hits. What a breed we were compared to most of what we see today. If you really offend us, no problem, we’d work it out with a punch in your face, but that rarely happened because we knew it was in fun. In spite of our differences we were one when in a group.
I’m 49 and Italian and my Italian and Irish friends used to make me die laughing with the barbs lol
Today’s wusses would faint at our conversations :)
I was gonna say faggots instead of wusses but i’ve worked with some gay guys that could take some pretty harsh barbs and laugh at it too, at least the older ones.
“Your mother wears army boots” lost it it’s sting when they became haute couture for women several seasons back.
I attended my 50th high school reunion last year and a bunch of us guys who hung out together were having a blast at the hotel bar before the event started.
No one was called by their proper name. We all referred to each other by the nicknames we had bestowed on each other back when we hung out in school.
Some of those names would not pass PC muster nowadays, but back then we all had fun and meant no harm.
We are life-long friends who wouldn't know what to call each other if it wasn't something derogatory. It's how guys were back when I was growing up. It toughen us up a bit. Made for a thicker skin which we would all need when we got out into the real world.
Nowadays they want a apology and a safe space to retreat to if you even say "boo" to these kids.
Shame on us for allowing it to get this far in our schools.
Good for a smile.
