Can't We Use This Anymore?

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Then why can't the term be used to describe angry black or Asian men.

I assume that if they go a pinkish colour, when they are getting into a bit of a tizz, it could.

He'd need to be a Brexer to qualify and turn gammon coloured whilst ranting at the Daily Wail. Gammons typically return to normal when calm. Black people can't change colour, no.



Donald Trump on the other hand....

So only white people can be gammon.

 

[Vinty]

Cos they don't go red FFS

So therefor the term does refer to a specific race or ethnicity, thankyou.

You're welcome.

 

[Vinty]

You're welcome.

No problem, i just wanted to put the record straight for those of us with watermelon smiles.

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Where does it say angry in the definition?

Noseall must have seen your assumption of the definition earlier today:

Nice to see a gammon "

You mean an angry person i assume?

Does your watermelon smile come on only when you get into a tizz?
Or is it a permanent feature that you can't lose?

Alright. If black people start using the term, assuming they can tell the difference, then that might be racist -

but it doesn't apply to Noseall who is just being rude.

Only when we get angry, bit similar to gammon.

That's OK, then. In your case, your watermelon smile is not racist.
However, when Boris used the remark it was clearly in a racist context. He has admitted that and apologised for it.

It wasn't his only racist comment on Africa

Which suggests that he is trying to emulate Winston, with his racist actions and comments.
In which case, he'd be a good PM in a wartime scenario, emulating Churchill's murderous tendencies.
But a complete bungling fool in peacetime. He can't even organise a war against a virus.

As Boris is considered an inveterate liar to many, his apology has to be seen in that light.

Can a black man be in Gammon mode when angry?

gammons come in many forms, sometimes in the form of an old dragon

 

[Bodd]

Boo hoo. You need to grow a pair.

I can give as good as I get you on the other hand are making the world a more dangerous place for my girls and your sons.... You full of balls.

Are black people allowed to address white people as Gammons?
