Troll? Nice try Sonof. Social media's current most overused term. Is this what you pull out when someone doesn't fall in line? I only mentioned that I've been a fan since 1974 to give me credibility. I guess that backfired. But it does show my age, and why I'm not familiar with the current usage of the term. In my day, and as an Italian American, it was anything but a compliment. It's simply a case of a younger generation claiming a derogatory slang term they aren't familiar with and using it as they choose. What about other labels with similar bigot beginnings? Perhaps not the 'n' word, but words to identify Latinos, Jews, and others. Do they all have more negative connotations than 'woo'? I guess you would have had to live it.

Anyone have anything good for lunch today? I ate at Arby's, wasn't bad, hadn't been there in years. Didn't spring for the milkshake, thought that was a bit too much for lunch.

I'm new to posting here, but I've been a fan since 1974 (as my username implies). I would hope that mature Creighton fans of all ages would refrain from using this negative appellation regardless of what the young player wishes. How many nicknames are necessary? Isn't 'Mo' good enough?


Savannah Jay clearly explained how the terminology around the phoneme "wop" is no longer primarily a slur against italians.

Should we no longer say "kraut" or "hun" because they were slurs against germans during the world wars?

The language has moved on.

You can buy them in a frozen bag at the grocery store now. Throw them in the oven and they don't taste too much different that when you get them at Arby's.

What did Justin have for lunch? If he went to Arby's, hopefully a jamocha shake.

The curly fries, plus any of their sandwiches are stellar. The roast beef is always a safe choice. BUT you can also go with the chicken bacon swiss, or their smokehouse brisket and you will not be disappointed. Get some three pepper sauce. Mmmm. Arby's is the best
