    It's not offensive here either.
    Saltine cracker, the poor rural south. I think it really came from "cracking" the whip during slavery..

    I read once, I believe it was Sowell's "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" that the term was carried over the pond as a derogatory of the Border Scots that settled in the American South.

    But it turns out cracker's roots go back even further than the 17th century. All the way back to the age of Shakespeare, at least.

    "The meaning of the word has changed a lot over the last four centuries," said Dana Ste. Claire, a Florida historian and anthropologist who studies, er, crackers. (He literally wrote the book on them.)

    Ste. Claire pointed me to King John, published sometime in the 1590s. One character refers to another as a craker — a common insult for an obnoxious bloviator. "It's a beautiful quote, but it was a character trait that was used to describe a group of Celtic immigrants — Scots-Irish people who came to the Americas who were running from political circumstances in the old world," Ste. Claire said. Those Scots-Irish folks started settling the Carolinas, and later moved deeper South and into Florida and Georgia."

    AKA penal colonists. Americans forget that the US started with nearly as many convict colonists as Australia.

    WHAT Is Going On With Trump's NECK in This Picture?

    [​IMG]

    1) The Color of His Face is So Many Different Shades that it looks like the Result of:

    A Stage Assistant who ran out of Orange Makeup and finished off the Job with a can of Spray Paint.

    2) His neck looks like a Size 16 Women's Back when trying to get zipped into a size 6.Dress.

    The kind of Picture That will SCARE Little Kids (and Adults).

    ^Now THAT is A Funny Picture...:salute:

    I've always been a little curious, what grade were you in when you finished school?

    Like the state of union address when the women of the DNC went in their traditional dress code.

    No. That would be an Incorrect "Assumption".

    As far as "School"? I lost track after receiving my 19th PhD on the day of my Kindergarten Graduation.

    Mastering 97 Languages including Impeccable Written Chinese sort of made me lose track of whether I was Age 4 or 5 when I graduated from Kindergarten.

    I will get back to you, once I consult the Dean at Oxford.

    Now, back to the Actual TOPIC, Funny Pictures:

    I love math because I can make people look stupid with it! :) Oh, and those who are afraid of it are willing to pay good money to those who can.

    Can you count in hexadecimals? Do you understand ASCII table from the Martian?
