[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77603150, member: 412388"] I worked in Hong Kong. The equivalent term there was gwei-lo. Whether it was a slur depended on context. But if you were in a bar late at night and some locals were chatting and you picked up the word followed by a group snigger, then you kinda knew how it was being used. A friend of mine, early hours of one morning, low class joint in an area off the tourist track, took umbrage. He was a [I]big[/I] dude. Stood and glowered at the group. Whole place went quiet. If there had been a piano player he would have stopped playing. We were the only non locals in there. I was thinking - this is definitely not good. But there was just some macho posturing and eventually Neil sat back down. [/QUOTE]
