Russkies is a bad wording IMNSHO. besides ... just take enough money to one of the new countries developed out of the former Soviet Union.

who are the "Russkies"?
Um, the Russians? From the land of Rus. like the Krauts etc.? Russkies is a bad wording IMNSHO. Wow. Political correctness from a foreigner? I thought that was primarily an American realm. I guess the cancer has metastasized.... :-( -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

We have a similar word in our language expressing just the same in the
same direction. In American English, "Russkies" was not derogatory. I believe the term was coined when we were allied with them in World War II. Of course, that pre-dates me a bit, so I could be wrong. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
