“Crauts” ???
A little insensitive to our German members.

I don’t care
(I don't like "Sauerkraut" btw)

As insensitive as 'Brits' perhaps, besides is it not spelled with a 'k' and not 'c'?

Right … It it is spelled with a “K” but I figured that I had walked right up to the line with that last post and didn’t want to go there

So …please educate me .. I always thought that “ Brits “ was sort of an acceptable term like “Yanks” is to us .
However .. I definitely would never use the “L “ word because I knew that was not nice …

Bloody Krauts, Jerries, Huns, Yanks, Poms, Eyeties, Japs, Wogs, Ivans, Frogs, Micks, Aussies, Kiwis, Chinks. Yarpies, etc, etc...

World's full of the bloody bastards

.....For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!
