Yea you are out of touch for sure.

If you're a white male there are words you can't say anymore.

Brown
Black
Rope
Noose

are just a few examples.

I could see how someone with a stick up their butt could consider it profanity. It is not in any way racist. Maybe they don't know the origin of the phrase? I recently found out that the phrase "balls to the wall" is an old flying term.

I'm on the fence about this. What does Chicken have to say? Has he weighed in yet?

Are shite eaters going to be the next protected group?

I mean, the left is down to transsexuals and their half a percent of the population so they have to be running out ofoption.

if you're a white male, everything is offensive.

These people just think up things to be offended by at this point.


The problem is they're constantly on the hunt for offensive things...so everything seems offensive.

Kinda like when you're scared of the dark as a kid and every little noise freaks you out.

I used the phrase today on Facebook and admin later told me they thought it was offensive and that I should change it.


So change it to "arse kisser".

With all of the crap that floats around Facebook on a daily basis, an admin gets all over the term Brown Noser. Interesting.

I wonder if someone on OP's FB page complained or if admin was just spying on everyone and looking for offensive posts? Very creepy if this was strictly the admin acting like Big Brother. FWIW, brown nosing is not offensive imo.

I had a 4th grade teacher call me her “little straw” aka a suck up. I remember being upset at that time. Looking back this was my first experience of being nice to a woman and being confused as to why they would chose to be a bitch about it.

A facebook admin or a group admin? Ask why they thought it was offensive because they may just not understand it's definition / origins. If they do...then that's pretty crazy PC to be offended by it. I mean, a guess the imagery of sticking one's nose in someone's arse so far that you get shite on it could be considered offensive...

It comes from the fact that dot Indians are famous for sucking up to authority figures. So yeah, I’d say it’s offensive.


Maybe in your world, but in the real world it means someone is kissing arse so much their nose is brown (from crap). Unless crap can be offended I think it’s okay to use this phrase.
