LULZ, "Porkchop" and "Eggplant".  It's like being on the force with Inspector Ed Luger, NYPD.

Are "porkchop" and "eggplant" actual slurs, or just made-up ones on Languish?

Personally, I dunno what was wrong with "dago."

I can use it.  It's our word.

Yes. Porkchop comes from pork and cheese (portuguese -> pork and cheese? get it, get it?). It's a thing in canada anyway. Eggplant is a slur for italians. Sicilians namely. Play on on eggplants being black on the outside and white on the inside while sicilians are white on the outside but have black and muslim heritage.

Not to mention the tainted blood of Greeks.

Thought the eggplant thing was a wacko reverse slur from CDM, since Italians in the US historically slurred blacks as [phonetically] "mumulyans" (~eggplants in Italian) for their color.  :huh:
