Yeah, and if you're describing the sounds a bunch of chains make when they fall on the floor, please don't say "chink."

Also, don't eat Cheese Nips. Or say "gobbledygook."

And when mentioning the ocean liner that sank after hitting an iceberg, please use the correct and respectful name, Breastanic.
 
My brother was in the Border Patrol for a few years, the term Tonk is what they called the illegals. They'd always try to interview them in English when caught, and they'd always get an earful of "Yo no se! Yo no habla Ingles!" They found that they always knew more "Ingles" than they said they did, once they whipped out their Mag-Lites. "Tonk" is the sound the Mag-Lites made as they bounced off their skulls! So, they were nicknamed "Tonks". So, a "honky tonk" is a white border-jumper who only pretends not to know English? :confused:

That's sick.
