Reply to comment by Gasnia in An unfortunate series of words were uttered... luckily the only people around were also parents of toddlers who understand that kids sometimes put random words together. by AlloyComics

I'm not a native English speaker - when I was younger, I was chatting in a server about Japan and was too lazy to write "Japanese", so I shorthanded it to jap, instead of jp or jpn, because hey, first three letters, right?

Suddenly people got very angry, I was very confused until someone told me that apparently American war propaganda used "jap" as a derogatory term during ww2. Bruh, people can be overly sensitive. I've never heard anyone use that shorthand since, especially not in a derogatory way.

Reply to What happened to Nanny McPhee by jayduhaus

I find this really curious.

I had never heard of this "Nanny McPhee" before this weekend. I saw a movie running on the TV on saturday, watched it for like 10 minutes, went to do something else.

Now I see this post, and I'd just like to ask the IRL devs to do a better job when adding legacy content. At least make sure you integrate the timeframe properly to every user. Smh.

Reply to PISBOLS by Unique-Beyond1013

"Fish Balls" is a Filipino snack or street-food, it's basically a round shaped fishcake that we deep-fry and dip into different kinds of sauces.

"Pisbols" is basically how Filipinos with heavy accents would pronounce it.
