mathematics Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I wouldn’t say ‘hun’ or ‘’tim’ is bigoted. I would say ‘fenian’ is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merk Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Fenian certainly sounds offensive however ever since dealing with a supplier who’s headquarters were on Fenian St in Dubliin I’ve found it a little less so.

We should leave the bigotry to the erse cheeks and should be above even thinking this way, let alone be discussing on a Killie forum. This thread can close any time...... U ok Hun?

CSI Kilmarnock Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) If any of you called me a fenian, I would be offended, because it would feel like offence was intended, even though I am an Irish Catholic nationalist. I can’t think of any reason why any of my (Irish) peers might call me a fenian, but if they did, I probably wouldn’t be offended; like the way that only black people can refer to each other using the N word without causing offence. Just because some might not be offended, it doesn’t mean it’s not offensive. Edited February 11, 2018 by CSI Kilmarnock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSI Kilmarnock Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Bought a house in Kilmarnock, wife is from Kilmarnock, in my nature to support the local team, given that I’m not from Scotland and have no valid reason to support any other team.
