Is there a word similar to “racism” when referring to an ethnic group rather than a race? @JoelBrown Can I use bigotted against a pedant too? ;-) |

Is there a word similar to “racism” when referring to an ethnic group rather than a race? Thanks for the insight, it appears that racism is an appropriate term to use when describing offensive comments targeting a particular ethnic group. I suppose the person calling me out was merely being a pedant. |

Origins of the south-western Pennsylvania slang word “Yinz” @FumbleFingers I don't find the Wikipedia article very helpful or complete. I can't really find an answer that makes perfect sense on this, which is why I asked it. |

Origins of the south-western Pennsylvania slang word “Yinz” It sounds like it makes sense, and there were a good number of Irish immigrants as well, however nowhere near the levels of Italian, Slovak and Polish immigrants. It just doesn't make sense however that the word would be of Irish origin when areas like Boston had a much larger Irish immigrant population and as far as I know have no similar word to compare to Yinz. |

English pronunciation of “charade” as in Pink Floyd song Pigs @FumbleFingers Great comment and insightful! If you change this to an answer I will accept it. The legitimacy of the OED is hard to dispute. |

English pronunciation of “charade” as in Pink Floyd song Pigs @tchrist I don't even know what kind of voodoo unicode magic you pulled to string those characters together but it looks completely foreign to me. It would be easier to read cryllic I would think :) |

English pronunciation of “charade” as in Pink Floyd song Pigs Interesting that it is a French derived word meaning "chat". Does this imply that the English word was termed with the assumption that chatterboxes are fake or false? Sounds like a different question... |

English pronunciation of “charade” as in Pink Floyd song Pigs Thanks, that is informative. This still doesn't answer why I never hear Americans pronounce it in another way however. Is this just coincidence? |
