I suppose calling someone Tory scum you're attacking their choice of political party but calling someone a gammon you're in amongst other things referring to the colour of their skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's criticising someone for their implied views and their behaviour rather than their appearance. No one is attacked for being a 'gammon' for having a red face, but because they have reactionary and stubborn opinions that they express in a way that might make them go red in the face - at least metaphorically and sometimes literally as well. It's also used to annoy such people because they very often complain that they should be allowed to use whatever language they like in describing or addressing other groups of people. But when anyone else uses the same freedom against them, by calling them gammons, they get terribly upset. So it points up hypocrisy and entitlement. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it just be easier to act like adults and not call people names? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lit some candles (or tried in the wind), said some words, had a minutes silence and then retreated to the cafe for coffee and cake. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
