Will Trump Bottle It?
#542
On the whole, it was an unnecessary and useless conversation involving a power trip of a self-righteous Google 'intellectual'.
I'll tell you how and why.
Such term isn't essentially reserved for just one meaning or meanings that Google provides or how this term is used in the Western society. If that's the way we think, then we might as well look into the role of Google as something that fuels Western supremacy in terms of 'what we can prove right with the help of Google and/or other Western sources is right and all other interpretations are wrong, no matter how little our knowledge is; in terms of the broader use of the term'. Come on, man. Google doesn't have all the knowledge. Even a 12-yr old child would know that. If he/she doesn't, then he/she should.
A term, when it's actually used for the ethnic people; a term which literally means a tropical produce, not a common Western produce, can have other meanings/usage in other cultures. I never said that my opposite arguer used it wrongly, neither did I challenge it- not at all! But he had to challenge my other interpretation to prove me wrong. That's because to his tunnel-visioned self, what Google offers in the 'only' meaning, and that's it! LOL the 'instinct' bit that I used was a mere joke that I dragged from another thread (ref: Paben going for a yonk with his bergen, in that Brexit thread).
So the useless conversation here about a coco frigging nut, which I was taking quite lightheartedly, has been all about someone wanting to start a defensive, serious argument for sod all, with the idea to 'win' and look like the brightest spark on the planet. Not that it always works.

lol, interestingly (or probably not!!)
I slightly altered my post before I pressed submit
because when I checked the veracity of my initial definitive statement
it seems that the term is also used by some elements of the "green" movement aswell to describe "reds" who over politicise the movement, using it (and in a circular reference to my earlier comment) as a Trojan Horse for the propagation of red/socialist/commie policies
so I had to change it to reflect the fact that it is not only used a term of abuse/derision by the "right" but also by the left too

Meanwhile, I hear that Trump built a wall in Scotland, and sent the bill to the ones whose sea view he spoilt with that wall:

LOL @ them for flying the Mexican flag to wind Trump up.

In Scotland Trump has promised much and delivered little. Phew, so he's a proper politician after all!

Fortunate that he's not a politician for Scotland, eh! I know that Trumpism is believed to game-change the politics on the global level, the ripple effect is going to contaminate the waters through and beyond. yet I hope the Scots find themselves fortunate with many other politicians for themselves than a Trump-like.
