Would you call a cowardly Lincolnshire Chineseman a ....

[Bbbananas]

yellowbellied yellowbelly yellowbelly?

Or would that be offensive?
Myself & Zacmaster were pondering this last night and I must admit it has been on my mind all day.

[BigDave44]

I must confess to having more important things to worry about !!

[mccfluff]

no idea i would just end up confused if someone said that to me

[Bbbananas]

It is funny though don't you think? And could be argued to be correct without being racist, which I'm not.

[mccfluff]

i don't think anyone chinese would be to enthralled about being called a yellowbelly.

why is someone from lincolnshire called a yellowbelly anyway

[Bbbananas]

there are many varied answers to that - mostly relating to undercarriages....

[Bbbananas]

That is; undercarriages of newts and/or fogs; undercarriages of long wool sheep dragging their long fur through the pollen of mustard flowers; or a mail coach.

Or some say it is after the yellow waistcoats of lincolnshire military men.

I was always told by my dad, who knows everything cos he is a god, that it's because of farmworkers bending down in the fields with their backs to the sun - therefore developing suntanned brown backs but keeping white tummies - which reflected the corn, giving their bellies a white hue. I prefer that version......

[mccfluff]

well you learn somethign new everyday on this sight doncha

and yes in my op would be offensive if you ever you aimed the insult at actually understood it and didn't stand there looking at you like you've gone mad

[Bbbananas]

I shall inform Zacmaster forthwith that it would perhaps not be a good idea to go up to a chinaman and ask him this question then. I don't want to cause trouble.

[mccfluff]

lol, i kind of want you to just to see what would happen.....

[Bbbananas]

I am having a takeaway tomorrow night. I shall appal the BF by asking that at the counter. He will walk away (the BF - he's sensitive about things like that. He's Welsh). Oggy oggy oggy.

[Bbbananas]

Can't complain sqad - 3 weeks ago it was the Isli of Wiggetti, this summer it's a 3 weeks sail round La Rochelle and the Isle de Re. One has to take the dregs with the cream...

(I do prefer Indian, I must admit).

[mccfluff]

FFS i was going to be heatly tonight now all i can think of is crispy chilli beef and sesame prawn toasts

[mccfluff]

[Bbbananas]

Blodwyn.....hee hee.
Makes a change from his usual nicknames, which include: Cap'n Pugwash, Rubber Johnny, Semen Stains & Johnny Rotten.

[carrust]

Just hope its not Roger the cabin boy...or does he???

[Bbbananas]

Oh Zac what have you gone and said? I shall be tossing all night. Still, at least I can be tossing & thinking of you tossing, and vice versa.

I shall ask Albert tomorrow, without fear of offence because I do have something 'on him' since the Golf Club Ball back in 2001.

What rather than Welsh ??? LOL
