Sip Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 How about Armizzle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I use Armo all the time and think it suits us quite well. I somehow don't feel it has the same weight as the n-word or k-word. Maybe because I don't live in LA. Don't know.. style_images/master/snapback.png yes Nairi your right, back in Armenia we used the word negr all the time but never with offencive intantions, i understand kakachik also or who ever is using the word, but here in US especialy in LA area Mexicans are/were spraying grifity on glendale buldings "Armos go home" and you surtanly can understand where I'm coming from, besides it does not sound right at all, i wondered how do you find it sutable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Call an African (or should I say Afro? ) a "nigger" and they'll be pissed. But they call each other that when among themselves all the time. "Hey nigga, you high??" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoushik Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 the word which goes in the same line as "nigger" how sad and provacative to hear it. style_images/master/snapback.png You think "Armo" is as offensive to Armenians as "nigger" to African-Americans? I don't think it's the same. But I can see how it could be offensive. However, I must say that I'm (sadly) used to the shortening of names and ending them with "o" as we can see in the names of our pop culture representatives: Hayko, Aramo, Sirusho, etc (too tired to remember more and I know there are lots more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
