The two meanings could be very confusing!

There are very few sentences where that doesn't work!

How many visitors to London have innocently asked a Tour Guide "could you take me up the Oxo Tower?" only to be met with a similar reply?

Is the first one my face, and the second one her face (obviously not doing the vinegar thing though)........ I suppose they could also be used as a yawn too.
Plus it was a racist comment (just to keep things on topic).

Funnily enough I don't think Pee is a Manchester United fan.

The assumption that any criticism directed towards Terry is exclusive to Manchester United fans is laughable.

Thats correct, in fact I'd go as far as saying Terrys only friends in general are Chelsea fans, a lot of us have given him the benefit in the past but theres a few to many things on the list now to really like him unless you are a Chelsea fan.

It could work as the female involvement in your vinegar thing too, depending on her attitude. Its a multi function smiley, thats for sure!

The point I was making was that, it is a word used by black people, surely it should be down to the users of a word to determine I'd it's racist or not??

Why is it an exclusive word for black people ?

Please take a few minutes to think that through. Is it really what you mean?

A few reasons but would like to know why wouldn't white people use the word.

I thought it was an offensive word used by black people, to accuse people who are also black of being a traitor to their race. In what context would a white person use it??? Im confused now.

Well yes that's true. how could a white person use a word that says this.
if we thought the person was a fake or a phoney then no problem, there are many words we could all use.

edit
If the point is ,if the person who uses the word does not consider it racist, so it can't be racist, then we are back to square one

It can be used goadingly in exactly the same way as a black person would, I've no idea why that would confuse you

[Anika Hanson]

Oh im getting confused about it all now. It's up to the courts and the FA to decide, not me.

Should I be insulted?

[BomoLad]

I proved how multicultural I am by purchasing a Zzapp ice lolly.

My friend confirmed his unfortunate allegiance to Enoch Powell by buying 'Rivers of blood ice cream' - or raspberry ripple as it's sometimes called in 'ethnic' circles.

I don't know as anything with the word Magnum in sounds cool, in fact next time I try it on with the mrs I am actually going to ask her if she wants my "Vanilla Magnum"

She would probably be expecting a 80s ferrari and dodgy moustache than anything else

Funny you should say that as her favourite ever tv show is Magnum and ultimate sex symbol is Tom Selleck.... and thats not even a joke !!! (though admittedly if it were it would be very poor)

[celesti]

Vanilla Magnum is just the main version which is basically a choc ice on a stick anyway. Unless there's one with white chocolate outside and chocolate ice cream inside, in which case I'll be annoyed I've yet to try it.
