Window Licking

Wow, you really are a fucking moron.

Paedophile.

Ok then, I find it amusing that someone is so affronted by a fascist managing our club they won't attend games, will choose to use language that has been widely used to take the piss out of disabled children

Not the way I understood the phrase, I've only heard it as a general term for "thick bastard" tbh. If it does have it's origins in taking the piss out of the disabled then I wish I hadn't used it, but it certainly wasn't what I meant.

That's  fair enough then, and I was surprised and angered when I saw you use the term some time ago. I should have raised it then. Matter closed I think.

Paedophile.

I'm with you Paul, I have never linked Window lickers with the disabled and the fact that Red Socks has taken offence to it says more about him more than anything else.  For me Windows Lickers equated to unique people who need to get out more like the stereotypical train spotter wearing his kagool.  In fact I don't see how you have managed to equate Window Lickers to the disabled.

Just my opinion of course.  Maybe it's a generation thing.

Do people really not think that the term window licker is a derogatary term for a disabled person?

For me, window licker is less insulting than 'spastic', but still pretty horrible.

I always though it was for somebody that's a bit thick, like red socks.

Bit of digging suggests it's the third most offensive term for a disabled person.

In 2003, the term was voted third most offensive that could be used relating to disability in a poll run for the BBC's Ouch! disability talk show.

But the bigger reason not to use it is George Galloway thinks it's funny.

Personally I think its offensive, but i wouldn't have gone into such a big song and dance about it.

Nope, maybe I am naive on this one.  Mind you I don't use the term, wouldn't contemplate making a joke out of a disabled person or hang out with people that would so perhaps understandable.

Like I said maybe it's a generation thing.

In other words, you are an old bastard!
