Random Crack Music Talk XC: The Infatuation Of Yeezus' Yayo By The Blowhard Rob Ford

[Jive Turkey]

It's not his fault, not a lot rhymes with Mandela.

fine fella

 

[lazarus]

tan fella

Come on now.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Hey Cobbo, don't you guys call Aborigines "Black Fellas"?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They call themselves that, much like they refer to white people as 'whitefellas.'

White people don't use that term as far as I know.

 

[lazarus]

I just assumed it was "abboes".

 

[cobl04]

Hey Cobbo, don't you guys call Aborigines "Black Fellas"?

As Vlad said they call themselves that. I would never say anything other than Aboriginal/ie/indigenous.

I just assumed it was "abboes".

I know you're making a joke here but it's not a funny/tasteful one. Can't expect you to know that, but yeah.

 

[lazarus]

Is that actually a common slur there?

ah
It was an honest question

 

[Kieran McConville]

Although simply a contraction of 'aborigine', 'abo' has always in practice tended to have the casual contempt that the n-word does elsewhere.

Actually, maybe it's an older generation thing, but some white Australians definitely do reach for the 'black fella' tag in conversation.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I can't believe I haven't read the Mandela song thread from start to finish yet. Maybe my thirst for masochism is finally slaked after the McGuinness thread.

There's a similar contraction of Pakistani used as a slur here and in the UK. Also Japanese. I suppose it's fairly common

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Is that actually a common slur there?

Yeah, the sort you'd get from shameless racists/edgy teenagers over here.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Mandela

Don't sell her

She's up on the forty eighth floor
got to find out what she's looking for

Mandela

 

[cobl04]

You'll be hearing very sparingly, if it all, from me for the next eight days, off on that youth leadership camp I've talked about before. Enjoy the week

 

[lazarus]

Have fun, Cobbler. Crossing my fingers that this is the year you finally manage to not finish last in Cum Cum Cookie.

 

[cobl04]

Is that the same thing as limp biscuit?

 

[lazarus]

They did it all for the cookie?

 

[bono_212]

Whoot!

This is going to be a fucking disaster. Can't wait.

 

[MadForIt]

Front cover will be a photo of Thom Yorke taking a shit, with the headline

"Thom Yorke drops his greatest recordings since Kid A"

 

[nielsgov]

Finally managed to listen to Ordinary Love. The melody is pretty catchy but there's something missing and Bono's voice is definitely too high in the mix. It's good but I hope for better songs on the album. Otherwise I won't listen to it very often.

Have fun, Cobbler. Crossing my fingers that this is the year you finally manage to not finish last in Cum Cum Cookie.
