Wonder if I could ask for some clarification. My quiz team comprises 6 to 8 middle (to late) aged white men. I was planning on renaming the team to The Gammons.

However, half the team voted for Brexit and half against. Are only the Brexit half gammons?

The horseshoes?

Half a gammon joint?

That's like going to a pub and asking for the pineapple and the egg.

No different to the abuse/piss taking I've put up with all my life being ginger. Well it is different I suppose because people choose to be angry opinionated bigots, which inevitably turns their little faces gammon pink.

Loads of gammon on the PH brexit threads.

Ah, so thats why you treat anyone who dares to disagree you with an avalanche of pompous arrogance. I thought your attitude seemed familiar, and I was right, more than a little devious and dishonest to change ones handle as you have. , very sad.

My handle changes when my car changes, and is related to my current daily driver as was my last handle and the one before that. It's a car forum. And it doesn't matter unless you're looking to attack individuals rather than discuss arguments.

Of course you do, other people tell a pack of lies as well.

Given that people are saying this phrase is fine to use because it describes an ideology, I assume they would find it just as funny when a black person gets called a choc ice, coconut or Uncle Tom?

Those are all racist phrases.

Gammon is about behaviour apparently.

"If you took the time to understand why "gammon" is not a racial slur you would no longer be gammon. The gammon paradox."

They discussed it on Vine radio 2 today, some nonce snowflake who worked for Corbyn made an absolute fool of himself.

Gotta love the smugness of a group of people who believe they've found a defensible playground insult.

Our local primary school goes to great lengths to stamp out such behaviour.

Still I guess special languages are one way groups self-define. If one lot can have 'snowflakes' then it shouldn't be too much surprise if another lot has 'gammon'. Not exactly the height of public discourse though.

[anonymous-user]

Are those offended offended because someone is using the term "gammon" or is it because they think they can't use other terms because of PC so it's not fair?

Am I the only person reading 'Gammon' as 'Gaa'mone' like Bo Selecta/Michael Jackson 'cha'mone mutha fker!'

The PHers like Farty Trousers here crying about this like a bunch of cucked snowflakes™ is one of the most hypocritical yet grimly amusing things I've seen here in years.
