Like the word "Nigger"?

No dialogue. Just plot.
Because I am not as well educated as someone from Glasgow.
& dont have as good a memory either.

No it's not the same. A cursory glance at the history of both words would make that pretty obvious but do carry on.

You asked a question, i answered it. I dont think ive been bigotted or used bigotry but hey youve got your own agenda.

You are right as always. The fact both words mean different things to different people should be ignored.
Apologies. What was I thinking!

The history and context of both words make your comparison fuckwitted.

A social faux pas? No not at all. I like the "Only idiots believe that there are offensive terms for protestants" though, very good.

'Hun' is not one of them, why dont you list them for me, so us uneducated lanarkshire types can learn from our sophisticated Glasgow cousins.

Ah starfish was the educated Glaswegian.
But you are avoiding the question, what are the insulting terms for a protestant used in the west of scotland?
I thought someone standing in a street sceaming about 'hun scum' would have been being 'bigoted'. Reading urban informs me otherwise.

I have no idea what insulting terms for protestants in the West of Scotland are.. I'm not a religious bigot.. Go join a West of Scotland bigots forum and ask them. I'm sure you'll find one if you GOOGLE...

No, just not interested in a smart arse.
As to the point, historically, in the Scottish football context, given it referred to both Celtic and Rangers fans then no it was not a bigotted reference. However, it has certainly taken on a bigotted connotation in the recent past. When i've used it, it has not been in reference to 'protestants', but to those lovable chaps and chappesses the Rangers fans. However the context you give, without knowing the context and accuracy of yor claim then it would be difficult to say, but the term 'hun scum' wouldn't be a term of endearment and may well be intended as bigotted and seen as such by the person it is aimed at.
