Emma, the term "Limey" has been used in reference to Brits for a couple centuries, so I am surprised that you have never heard it. Nothing bad, it started in regard to the fact that Brithish sailors ate limes to ward off scurvy, a disease brought on by a lack of cirtic acid in the diet.
Fog Horn is a new one on me, however.

I totally agree with Vinman's statement. Libero, what makes you think Italian Americans glorify the Mafia? Firstly, most mob movies are simply a formula that businessmen in hollywood stick to knowing it will get americans into the theatre. Secondly, considering the great heights Italian-Americans have reached in a mere 50 years: Supreme Court justice, two of the most renound mayors (Fiorello Laguardia and Rudy Guiliani), Senators, Governors, CEO'S, Doctors (such as Anthony Fauci head of the NIH and Robert Gallo who isolated the AIDS virus) I think its a fairly ignorant (no offense intended) statement based on what you see in the Sopranos and mob movies.
IN fact, Italian-Americans coined the term "GUIDO" to describe their 'paesans' who act like a wiseguy despite not being able to pay for a round of espresso.
Italian-Americans come from ancestors who lived in the most desperate regions in Italy and came with an incredible work ethic which obviously this generation and more has still embodied. It is not the spoiled Benetton's, Cipriani's or Ambassadors who sailed across the sea with 5 kids and pennies to their names only to raise the Scalia's, Cuomo's, Cellebezze's and Mancini's of the world.

I just thought it referred to their LIMEY SHIT STAINED teeth....don't mean to generalize. :cheesy:
Or maybe its the LIMEY SHIT TASTING FOOD...again, don't mean to generalize. :cheesy:
Fog horn Leg Horn is the six foot baseball bat wielding chicken who used to knock the shit out of the that barn yard dog trying to steal sheep/chicken: "I said...I said...Boy" :cheesy:
Anyhow, in my book anyone can be a LIMEY bastard. Especially fockers who throw genetically altered pears that rot 7 times faster than normal.

Exactly. My dad had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Fauci, and he is striving to improve the National Institutes of Health day by day. People here recognize that the Mafia was obviously not a good part of history, but also know that Italian Americans contribute much good to our country and are recognized for that.
So, Nick, if one were to eat Limey shit-tasting food which in turn rotted one's Limey shit-stained teeth, and stuck with such a diet, would one also have Limey shit-stained underwear?
I only ask because a news article made it's way around the courthouse today about a man who was arrested on a DWI charge. It seems that he beat the breathalyzer by eating his own underwear. Mighty disgusting if it was Limey shit-stained underwear.

OP
Depends on the Limey's digestive tract...can it absorb shit or is it good for shit??
:cheesy:
Look out for the AA drop-outs to carry underwear in their Dodge Chargers after hitting the seven-eleven for a 6 pack.
Reminds of the guy from Texas who got off paying for a 'shit'load of parking violations because he claimed he didn't know what a "quarter" "dime" and "nickel" referred to...the parking meters didn't indicate the numeric symbol 25 or 10, etc. The degenerate got out of paying. Thank the dumb ass attention seeking Judge.
