So now PorkChop is on the list of offensive words!?

My favorite part of this story is that the AP used Urban Dictionary to confirm it's a slur.

 

Not sure about PorkChop, but Ferrous is environmentally insensitive.

 

I thought that it did as well. But maybe the slur has been expanded.

 

Same thought exactly.
I thought it would have been fat people complaining.
I still don't see the "Pork Chop = offensive to Puerto Ricans" relation.

 

Somewhere, Pork Chop Pough is weeping.

Probably behind the counter at Burger King.

 

God damn, sir. Thanks for posting the only thing I wanted to contribute to this page prior to opening.

 

So PorkChop is not PC?

 

That's why I just call my brother a fat load. I don't want to piss off an entire group of people, so I play it safe.

 

What next? The Seahawks have to change their logo because it's exploiting Native Americans from the Northwest? It's a freakin' minor league baseball team!!! The only place I wouldn't use "PorkChop" as a team nickname is in Newark, NJ. Never heard of any other group of people besides the Portuguese being called "pork chops."

 

SportsJournalists.com has seen threadjacks of all kinds but now we have a Crackerjack!

 

I guess my uncle's offended, too. His nickname is Pork Chop. Hell, it's one of my favorite foods. Nothing better than a leftover fried pork chop sandwich.

 

As a fan of aluminum, I find "Ferrous" personally offensive to me.
