No it was definitely the Fuzzy Wuzzies. They don't like it up 'em.

wasn't fuzzy wuzzy a racially abusive term in the 70s? Kind of like golliwog.

She can use racially abusive terms in her own Disney Land thread. :P

I am sure it wasn't done with any malicious forethought. It's a paradox, kinda like the
Ouroboros.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?


So I don't know about any derogatory term unless you don't like Hadendoa or Rudyard Kipling. :rolleyes:

It was used as a racist term I'm pretty sure.

The name was given to the Hadendoa because of their elaborate hairstyles (according to wiki), by the British. So it's a descriptive name used by the imperialist brits to describe a native people. Seems not too far from calling someone 'nappy head'.

Just went and looked at the Urban Dictionary:

Ahhh, I see. In our country it just meant an imaginary fuzzy bear that wasn't fuzzy, was he?

Of course, I guess those undertones could still be there...but I was never aware of them.

It's a quote/catchphrase from "Dad's Army". My apologies to whose who were offended.

:confused:

I dunno. You people are talking a whole other language...English, isn't it?

Right. I assumed the Brits would get it and others might google. It never occured to me that people would just think I was being racially offensive. How stupid of me.

Oh, I thought I was supposed to be racially offensive, having brought up the hairless imaginary bear fuzzy wuzzy, who wasn't fuzzy, was he?

Let me ask some of my cow orkers what they think of the pome.

btw, anyone know why skywhatever is stalking me when she hates me so much?
