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"
