There's an on-going thread entitled: "Does anyone find the term "flip" offensive?"... and this thread has not been closed or locked up. Therefore my thread with a similar title: "Does anyone find the term "prick" offensive?" should also be allowed to progress. BE FAIR.
Now, if people can call Filipinos "flips", then we Filipinos should also have all the right to call them whatever we want, such as calling Pacific Islanders as "pricks" = meaning Poor Rotten Islanders Constantly Kicked!... Right? I mean, I just want to be fair with everybody here. The golden rule says: do unto others what you want others to do unto you. In other words, if they do something offensive to us Filipinos, then it is just fair and square to call them something offensive as well. By the way, IMO - "flip" is not offensive, I mean if somebody calls me flip - I'm okay with it. Therefore, if I'm okay with being called "flip" then pacific islanders should also be okay if I call them "pricks".
