I would not like to be referred to as 'european' - because I am not. Nor 'Brit' - because I am not. 'Paddy' - well - a lot depends on who says it and how it is said. 'Yorky' - it is where I live now and is a warm and welcoming place - so I would take that as compliment.
But I would not go into a strop about any of them - life is too short!
My friend Gill is English and I always call her "Sassenach" when we meet up, she takes no offence and none is meant. She calls me "Jock" often, it's just pet names we have used for years..
I've heard it used in a derogatory fashion and as a Scottish person I've got the right to be offended if anyone throws it my way.
Are dago or wop just slang, too? BTW I'd really prefer it if you didn't respond to my posts but realise I can't help it if you do. Perhaps a mod can arrange one of those mutual block thingies.
But who uses dago and wop these days
These are outdated words .
