("Hey, little man,
how are you." "Little man")
State Department,
common phrases could be offensive
Terrorism war on terror!
Rule of Thumb!
Handicap!
Going Dutch!
Black and Tan!
Hold down the Fort!
This might insult a Plains Indian?
He left out at least
two, two that draws my attention every time I see or hear them!
Every year with this
"Indian" on the east coast of this country dresses up like a Plains
Indian, jumps on a Plains Indian painted horse, with a Plains Indian Spear,
rushes throughout a football field, while the people in the stands wave a
Plains Indian Tomahawk, this makes my blood curl!
Hey Chief!
("Hey, little man,
how are you." "Little man")
(chief is the lowest
offices in the navy or a leader of a Plains Indian tribe.
It is also a worker in
a traditional tribe from the east coast of Indian country.
(chief is the lowest offices in the

It is also a worker in a traditional
tribe from the east coast of Indian country.
While this is true, this is very
important to remember, once that job was finished the person is no longer that
chief, people over look this truth from the ancestors!
I am not a chief, I was
a 2nd class boatswain's mate in the navy, I am a Sachem of my people)!
Rule of Thumb!
And "rule of
thumb," he wrote, can according to women's activists refer "to an
antiquated law, whereby the width of a husband's thumb was the legal size of a
switch or rod allowed to beat his wife."
Further, he explained,
"If her bruises were not larger than the width of his thumb, the husband
could not be brought to court to answer for his behavior because he had not
violated the 'rule of thumb.'"
Handicap!
"handicap,"
as some disability advocates "believe this term is rooted in a correlation
between a disabled individual and a beggar, who had to beg with a cap in his or
her hand because of the inability to maintain employment."
Going Dutch!
"Going
Dutch," as a "negative stereotype portraying the Dutch as
cheap."
Black and Tan!
"Black and
Tan" sneaker without realizing the phrase once referred to a group
"that committed atrocities against Irish civilians."
Hold down the Fort!
"To 'hold down the
fort' originally meant to watch and protect against the vicious Native American
intruders. In the territories of the West, Army soldiers or settlers saw the
'fort' as their refuge from their perceived 'enemy,' the stereotypical 'savage'
Native American tribes."
Terrorism war on
terror!
