I have to say that having written Blowing Smoke in the interim, I now understand Mr. Barger's comment in a whole new light.

Jorny is a self-hating anti-Semite who projects his own feelings of intolerance onto Jews. In other words, his obsessive campaign against the G-word is an effort to rationalize his own bigotry.

Interesting how an essay

Interesting how an essay spammer brought this three-year old thread back to life. Oh, how I miss Jorn Barger. What a great goy!

PS If you're out there googling, Jorny, we're still here.

Genghing up on people again, eh?

That's "poseur", to rhyme with "loseur"

The Esq. is short for "esque", as in "Genghesque" or "Grotesque" or "Demonesque" or "Creme Besque", the man (ascribed loosely) who put the "Sick" in "Sickophant".

And since he's learning to be a goiter slinger, we're going to have to strum along a bit in harmony, hum if you don't know the words. Just wait till he gets his own mariachi band - north of the border. The Herb Alpert of Manitoba, if that thought doesn't excite you.

And we knew him before he was almost famous. Almost brings up tears, no?

In reply to No you're not. I'm Ghengis!

There's only room on this blog for one Genghis (by any spelling).

You can be Genghis Sycophantic Poser #42, Esq.

No you're not. I'm Ghengis!

In reply to Arggghh, you uneducated

Yeah, leaving out that bit is extremely misleading. I think the word "uneducated" isn't accurate, however. "Dishonest" might be better.

That said, I think knowing Genghis the way we do, we can be quite certain that no offense was intended and on these border-line cases I think that's enough for me. Some words can be rehabilitated, and I think this is one of those words, if for no other reason than its comedic value. (I might be wrong, but I suspect that I value comedy more than you.)

In reply to Thanks I loved this page. The

The Chinese word for foreigner - 'gweilo' - means 'foreign devil'. The Japanese term 'gaijin' is now often avoided because of pejorative connotation.

Strangely enough, terms of exclusion often come across negatively. Go figger.
